Cloud Redis Cost Comparison Calculator

Enter one shared workload and up to three provider plans. The shared workload includes running hours, average dataset size, memory overhead, primary shards, replicas per shard, monthly requests, backup storage, data transfer, and a monthly budget.

Each plan can use its own provider, region, product, billing model, configuration name, usable memory, hourly price, serverless storage rate, request rate, backup price, transfer price, extended-support rate, discount, fixed monthly cost, and migration cost.

Configured plans are ranked by monthly planning cost. The result also shows first-year cost, cost per usable memory GB, cost per million requests, memory headroom, and the possible saving against the lowest configured plan.

Node-based products usually charge for every cache node. The per-node model multiplies the hourly rate by all primary and replica nodes in the shared topology.

Some Azure or custom prices can represent the complete selected deployment. Use the whole-deployment model when one hourly price already includes the chosen availability and capacity. A custom-unit model is available when the provider bills several identical hourly units that do not match the calculated node count.

Serverless services can charge for average stored data and processing or request usage. The serverless model calculates GB-hours and monthly request units separately while still allowing an optional fixed hourly base price.

A shard contains one writable primary and the selected number of replicas. Total cache nodes equal primary shards multiplied by one plus replicas per shard. Replicas improve availability and read capacity but normally hold another copy of the shard data.

Required memory equals the average dataset plus memory overhead for fragmentation, metadata, replication buffers, eviction safety, and growth. Enter the usable application memory of each selected plan rather than its marketing capacity when reserved memory reduces usable space.

Similar memory capacities do not guarantee similar throughput or latency. Test representative commands, value sizes, connections, persistence settings, and failover behaviour before choosing a provider.

Product names, pricing structures, and billing guidance were checked on June 25, 2026. Prices remain blank because actual rates depend on region, engine, node type, tier, memory, availability, commitment, currency, and account agreement.

Use each provider pricing page or account calculator to enter the current effective rates for the exact configuration. This prevents one regional example from being presented as a universal price.

• Compare managed Redis and Valkey providers.
• Compare node-based and serverless billing.
• Measure the cost of shards and replicas.
• Check whether a plan has enough usable memory.
• Include request or processing-unit charges.
• Add backup storage and internet transfer.
• Include Redis OSS extended-support cost.
• Compare commitment discounts and monthly budgets.
• Measure first-year migration impact.

The result does not automatically include taxes, premium support, private connectivity, monitoring, persistence storage, cross-region replication, global databases, backup exports, encryption key requests, public IP addresses, migration labour, negotiated credits, or services not entered in a custom cost field.

Provider products also differ in supported Redis or Valkey versions, modules, persistence, clustering, scaling, maintenance, multi-zone design, failover, networking, connection limits, and throughput. Cost should be compared together with technical fit and tested performance.
