Frequently Asked Questions

The free version of Cube Cloud includes two developer instances and 1k query limit per day. More detail in our documentation.

You will want to upgrade from Cube Cloud Starter when you go into production and/or you reach your daily query limit. You will want to upgrade to a new tier once you determine you need more robust functionality or increased support options. Talk to your sales person about upgrading.

Cube Cloud Starter customers are billed monthly via the credit card that is listed in the Cube Cloud account, using the On-Demand payment plan.

Cube Cloud Premium has flexible payment plans for On-Demand, billed monthly via credit card that is listed in the Cube Cloud account, and Commit, invoiced annually upon contract signing following the payment terms defined in the order form.
