Confluent Plans Pricing

Confluent Cloud pricing is consumption-based on serverless cluster types, not on API call volume. The unit is the eCKU (Elastic Confluent Unit for Kafka) charged per eCKU-hour, plus data in/out per GB and data stored per GB-month. The APIs themselves — the Cloud API, Metrics API, Kafka REST v3, Schema Registry — carry no separate price; they are the control plane for the cluster you are already paying for.

Confluent Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Confluent on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.

It defines 5 plans, with named plans including Basic, Standard, Enterprise, Freight, Dedicated.

Tagged areas include Pricing, Plans, and Confluent Cloud.

Cost-efficient for high scale logging and observability use cases with relaxed latency requirements.

eCKU (ecku-hour) 2.25 USD
