 ## Pricing
 
 With CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.basic }}, you are charged only for the storage and activity of your cluster. Cluster activity is measured in [Request Units](#request-units); cluster storage is measured in GiB and is based on the total amount of storage your cluster used over a billing period. Request Unit consumption scales to zero when your cluster has no activity.
