Elasticsearch pricing for POCs?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello we want to offer some POCs of our service which uses Elasticsearch SaaS for document indexing - the problem is the pricing.

These POCs are fixed price and the customer commits to only indexing a known quantity of documents (e.g. 5TB documents or ~500gb Elasticsearch index size)

We want to avoid bill shock, so I had a few questions around how pricing works for small scale short term POC implementations...

  1. Is there perhaps an option to prepurchase Elasticsearch storage like a prepaid mobile plan for small scale POCs?
  2. Can we purchase 500gb storage and if we exceed that limit can Elasticsearch SaaS be configured to automatically reject any additional storage requests?
  3. Ontop of the storage costs, we understand there is an additional cost for the compute required to search that storage, but for short term POCs what helpful pricing structure can Elasticsearch provide?

Hi @catmanjan

Please Contact Sales for these questions as we do not address commercial items / licensing / cost etc. on the Discuss Forum.
