Pricing breakdown
For this estimate, we calculate query compute at 20% of your data loading volume. This ratio is typical for log management workloads, though your actual usage may vary based on query patterns and complexity.
This calculation assumes 'steady state' storage—the maximum cost scenario where you've reached your full retention period and older data expires at the same rate new data arrives. Your actual costs will gradually increase until reaching this level.

Support & Services
Does Axiom offer a free plan?
Yes, Axiom Cloud offers a Personal plan with no charge. This includes an "Always Free" allowance of 500 GB of data loading per month, 10 GB-hours of query compute per month, and 25 GB of storage. This is ideal for hobbyists or small-scale usage.
What are Axiom's deployment options?
Axiom offers two primary deployment options:
- Axiom Cloud: A fully managed cloud service with usage-based pricing
- Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC): Deploy Axiom in your own cloud environment with a predictable annual platform fee
How is Axiom's pricing structured?
Axiom's pricing has four main components:
- Platform fee: A base charge for using Axiom (monthly for Axiom Cloud, annually for BYOC)
- Compute: Charges for data loading and query operations (measured in compute credits)
- Storage: Charges for the compressed data you store
- Add-ons: Optional enterprise features available as additional purchases
What happens if I exceed my included usage limits?
For Axiom Cloud deployments, usage beyond your included allowances is billed at the rates specified in the pricing table. Axiom provides usage dashboards, alerts, and caps to help you monitor and control your spending.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, with Axiom Cloud you can adjust your usage and add-ons at any time. For BYOC deployments, platform fees are committed annually.
How do I choose between Axiom Cloud and BYOC?
- Choose Axiom Cloud if you prefer quick setup, usage-based pricing, and don't need to keep data in your own cloud environment
- Choose BYOC if you require data isolation, have compliance requirements necessitating data storage in your environment, can benefit from your cloud provider's volume discounts, or have very large-scale workloads
What cloud providers does Axiom support for BYOC deployments?
Currently, BYOC deployments are exclusively available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Support for other cloud providers is planned for H2 2025.
What regions are available for Axiom Cloud deployments?
Can I migrate from Axiom Cloud to BYOC later?
Yes, Axiom can support migration between deployment options. The Axiom team can assist with this process. If you expect to require a migration, we recommend reaching out to our team in advance.
What are compute credits?
Compute credits are Axiom's consistent unit of measurement for compute resources. They apply to various operations including data loading and querying. You can purchase compute credits on demand or pre-purchase them at a discount.
How does data loading compute work?
When you send data to Axiom, it's processed and optimized. This processing is measured in compute credits based on the volume of data loaded. In Axiom Cloud, rates decrease as your volume grows. In BYOC, there is no charge by Axiom for data loading compute.
How does query compute work?
Queries in Axiom consume resources based on the memory allocated and the duration of the query. Axiom multiplies memory (in GB) by duration (in hours) to calculate usage. As with data loading, higher volumes qualify for reduced rates in Axiom Cloud, while BYOC has no charge by Axiom for query compute.
How does storage pricing work?
Axiom charges for storage based on the compressed size of your data, measured in gigabytes per month. Thanks to Axiom's industry-leading compression, customers typically enjoy a 95% reduction in storage footprint. With BYOC deployments, there's no charge by Axiom for storage (you pay your cloud provider directly).
What is the "Always Free" allowance?
The "Always Free" allowance for Axiom Cloud includes:
- 1,000 GB/month of data loading compute
- 100 GB-hours/month of query compute
- 100 GB/month of storage
The Personal plan includes a smaller allowance of 500 GB/month of data loading, 10 GB-hours/month of query compute, and 25 GB/month of storage.
What enterprise features are available as add-ons?
For Axiom Cloud, the following enterprise features are available as add-ons:
- AML Single Sign-On (SSO): $100/month
- Directory Sync: $100/month
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): $50/month
- Audit Log: $50/month
Are enterprise features included in BYOC deployments?
Yes, all enterprise features (SAML SSO, Directory Sync, RBAC, Audit Log) are included in the platform fee for BYOC deployments.
Can I access SOC-2 and HIPAA compliance reports?
Yes, with an NDA. For Axiom Cloud, this requires a minimum annual spend. For BYOC deployments, these reports are available with an NDA regardless of spend.
How can I monitor and control my Axiom costs?
Axiom provides several tools to help you manage costs:
- Real-time usage information in your organization settings
- Custom alerts and notifications through Axiom's audit log dataset
- Usage caps and controls
- Billing thresholds that trigger invoices before the end of a billing cycle
What is the Compute Credit Pre-Purchase Program?
This program allows you to pre-purchase compute credits at a discount based on volume. Axiom Cloud includes automatic volume discounts—this program allows your organization to receive additional discounts for commitment. Pre-purchased credits do not expire and offer significant savings for predictable workloads:
- 25,000-99,999 credits: $0.90 per credit (10% discount)
- 100,000-249,999 credits: $0.85 per credit (15% discount)
- 250,000-499,999 credits: $0.80 per credit (20% discount)
- 500,000-999,999 credits: $0.75 per credit (25% discount)
- 1,000,000+ credits: $0.70 per credit (30% discount)
What are billing thresholds?
Billing thresholds trigger invoices when your accrued usage reaches a specific monetary amount within a monthly billing cycle. For Axiom Cloud, this threshold is $1,000. This helps prevent unexpected costs at the end of the month.
Are there limits to the number of datasets, users, or monitors I can create?
Yes, Axiom has soft limits that can be increased upon request:
- Axiom Cloud: 1,000 users, 100 datasets, 1,024 fields per dataset, 500 monitors
- BYOC: 50,000 users, 2,500 datasets, 4,096 fields per dataset, 20,000 monitors
What is the maximum retention period for my data?
Retention is configurable based on your needs. You're billed for the actual storage consumed, so longer retention periods will increase your storage costs proportionally.
What support options are available?
All Axiom customers receive email support. BYOC deployments also include an email support SLA. Additional support options available for purchase include:
- Named support engineer
- Dedicated support engineer
- Training and professional services
