CrateDB Cloud's Shared Plan provides an affordable and easy-to-setup option for users who require basic database functionalities. The plan is built around the principle of cost-effectiveness and is particularly well-suited for development, testing, or non-critical production environments.

Variable Performance
Since your cluster will be sharing vCPUs with other clusters, the performance
may vary depending on the overall load on the underlying machine. This
variability makes it less predictable compared to Dedicated Plans, where your
database is running on dedicated resources.
Fair-Use Principle
The Shared Plan operates on a fair-use principle. All users are expected to
utilize the shared resources responsibly so that the system remains equitable
and functional for everyone.
:::{note} *CRFREE: This plan is aimed at new users who want to test and evaluate CrateDB Cloud and is perpetually free to use. Every user can deploy one free tier cluster in their organization without adding a payment method. Free tier clusters will be suspended if they are not used for 4 days, and deleted after 10 more days of inactivity. They cannot be scaled or changed. :::
CrateDB Cloud's Dedicated Plan is designed to provide robust, scalable, and high-performance database solutions. Unlike the Shared Plan, the Dedicated Plan offers dedicated resources, including dedicated vCPUs, to meet the demands of high-availability and high-throughput environments.
Node sizes :::{table} :width: 700px :widths: 200, 100, 100, 100, 200 :align: left
| Plan | Size | vCPUs | RAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated | CR1 | 2 | 7 GiB | 32 GiB to 8 TiB |
| Dedicated | CR2 | 4 | 14 GiB | 32 GiB to 8 TiB |
| Dedicated | CR3 | 8 | 28 GiB | 32 GiB to 8 TiB |
| Dedicated | CR4 | 16 | 55 GiB | 32 GiB to 8 TiB |

All Dedicated Plans can be scaled from 1 to 9 nodes. Depeding on the number of nodes, the overall cluster size can be scaled up to the following limits:
Cluster sizes :::{table} :width: 700px :widths: 200, 100, 100, 150, 150 :align: left
| Plan | Size | vCPUs | RAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated | CR1 | up to 18 | up to 63 GiB | up to 72 TiB |
| Dedicated | CR2 | up to 36 | up to 126 GiB | up to 72 TiB |
| Dedicated | CR3 | up to 72 | up to 252 GiB | up to 72 TiB |
| Dedicated | CR4 | up to 144 | up to 495 GiB | up to 72 TiB |

Recommended Setup for High Availability
While it's possible to start with just one node, for applications needing high
availability and fault tolerance, we recommend using at least 3 nodes. This
ensures that your data is safely replicated and that the cluster can handle
node failures gracefully.
For organizations with specialized requirements that go beyond the Shared and Dedicated Plans, CrateDB Cloud offers custom solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our sales team and solutions engineers work closely with you to architect and deploy a custom cluster configuration, ensuring optimal performance, scalability, and security for your mission-critical applications.
Whether you have stringent compliance mandates, complex integrations, or unique scalability challenges, our custom solutions provide the flexibility and expertise to meet your business objectives and technical requirements.
