This section explains the basis of the Temporal Cloud pricing model and how it works.

**How plans work**


Each Temporal Cloud account includes a plan with Support, Actions, Active Storage, Retained Storage and platform features.
Each Temporal Cloud account includes a plan with Support. Higher tiers include Actions, Active Storage, Retained Storage and add-on features for the platform.
Base allocations help you get started with the Temporal platform, so you can better estimate costs.

- Temporal Cloud Plans are charged monthly.
- Action and Storage allocations are reset each calendar month.

Temporal offers four plans: Essentials, Business, Enterprise, Mission Critical.
Temporal offers four support plans: Developer, Business, Enterprise, Mission Critical.
Prices are outlined in the following table:

P1 Badge Replace screenshots that still advertise Essentials

On the Billing Center page, docs/cloud/billing-and-usage/billing.mdx embeds billing-plans.png at line 109 and billing-cancel.png at line 132; both still show the discontinued Essentials plan at $100/month, its included allocations, and SAML as a Business add-on. Readers therefore see pricing that directly contradicts this new Developer-plan table, so replace or recapture both screenshots as part of the launch update.

P2 Badge Recalculate the workload estimates for Developer pricing

For Developer-plan users, the unchanged estimates later in this page no longer follow the newly documented flat rate: 399M Actions (within the table's < 400M Large range) cost $19,950 before the 10% support charge, or $21,945 total, rather than < $15K, even before Storage. The Medium range similarly exceeds its < $2K bound near 40M Actions. Recalculate these rows or explicitly scope them to a plan whose rates produce the stated totals.

Your Temporal Cloud Plan pricing is the greater of the minimum monthly price or a percent (%) of your consumption spend:

- The Essentials tier is priced at the greater of &#36;100/month or 5% of your Temporal Cloud consumption.
- The Developer tier is priced at the greater of &#36;0/month or 10% of your Temporal Cloud consumption.
- The Business tier is priced at the greater of &#36;500/month or 10% of Temporal Cloud consumption.
- The Enterprise and Mission Critical Support plans must be paid annually. Contact [Sales](mailto:sales@temporal.io) to discuss your needs.

Your Temporal Cloud consumption combines the costs of Actions and Storage.

**Example**

If you are signed up for Essentials, with &#36;3,000 of monthly spend, your bill will be:
If you are signed up for Business, with &#36;6,000 of monthly spend, your bill will be:

```

Greater of $500 or 10% ⨉ $6,000 = $600, so $600.
