About

CockroachDB Cloud offers a $400 free trial credit for new organizations to explore its fully managed, distributed SQL database service. The credits are automatically applied to the first $400 of costs for any cluster, whether using Standard, Advanced, or Basic plans. Users receive email notifications about usage milestones, and a 30-day grace period is provided after the trial ends to prevent data loss. A payment method must be added before the trial concludes to ensure continuous service. Tools are available for cost estimation and transitioning to monthly billing.

FAQ

How long do the free trial credits last?

The duration depends on cluster size; larger clusters may consume the $400 credits in about 10 days, while smaller clusters can last up to 30 days.

Can invited users receive free trial credits?

Only the first organization created by a user qualifies for the free trial; invited users share the existing organization's credits.

What happens after the free trial ends?

Once the free credits are used up or expire, monthly billing begins immediately, and a 30-day grace period is provided to add a payment method before clusters are deleted.
