Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you run. Chroma comes preconfigured, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, storage, or GPU capacity you select. The dimensions map to standard AWS instance families. General-purpose (t2, t3, m4, m5, m5d), compute-optimized (c4, c5, c5d, c6a), memory-optimized (r4, r5, r5d, x1, x1e, z1d), storage-optimized (d2, i3, h1), and GPU/accelerated (f1, g3, p2, p3) options are available. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates. You can match the instance to your workload and change it as needs shift.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
You get Chroma preconfigured and hardened on an EC2 instance of the size you pick. The hourly software charge covers the ready-to-run image. The instance type sets the CPU, memory, storage, or GPU capacity you run Chroma on. AWS adds its own EC2 charges separately.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue software charges. Underlying AWS storage fees for the instance's attached volumes may still apply while it sits stopped. Restarting the instance resumes the hourly software charge.
You pay the hourly rate tied to whichever instance type is running at that time. Larger instance sizes carry higher hourly rates. When you stop one instance and launch another type, charges switch to the new rate. You can match the instance to your workload as needs change.
