Scaleway’s Savings Plan is a commitment-based discount program that provides more cost-effective billing compared to the pay-as-you-go model. This plan merges the benefits of discounted rates with the adaptability of pay-as-you-go billing.
Commit to a specific amount of resource usage each month, calculated before taxes and discounts. This is the usage amount you will be billed for at the Savings Plan rate.
Will be charged at the Savings Plan’s discounted rate for any usage within your committed amount.
Important
This means that:
If you use less than what you committed to, you will still be billed for the committed amount with the Savings Plan discount applied.
If you use more than the committed amount, the extra usage will be charged at the regular on-demand rate.
The Savings Plan discount will apply to the committed amount.
Note
Commitment rates are calculated based on the public prices of resources before taxes and do not include any discounts.
The monthly commitment amount for a Savings Plan must be at least €100 and at most € 10,000. The amount you specify will determine in which discount bracket your plan falls.
Savings Plan discounts are applied automatically to the eligible services.
At Scaleway, the discounts are applied in the following order:
Free tiers or free trials - Savings Plan discounts will apply after any eligible free tier or trials have been used. This ensures that you maximize your free usage before the Savings Plan discount is applied.
Savings plans, and
Discounts (vouchers or credits) - Any applicable vouchers or credits are used and applied after the Savings Plan discount.
Understanding this order helps you optimize your savings and ensure that you make the most of the available discounts.
We do not make refunds for savings plans that have already been invoiced.
Important
If you have early access to the Savings Plans, you can stop your Savings Plan at any time. The deletion of a savings plan will take effect at the end of the month, regardless of the date the deletion request is made.
The total cost displayed for the Savings Plan does not include applicable taxes. Taxes are displayed on a dedicated section of the invoice.
Currently, we invoice all customers in euros (EUR). If your primary currency is different, our Payment Service Providers (PSPs) apply the prevailing exchange rate.
