Elasticsearch pricing model is designed for search, observability, and security use cases requiring real-time insights at any scale. We offer a flexible, resource-based model across three deployment tiers: Standard for essential search and logging; Platinum for advanced security and machine learning; and Enterprise for massive scale with searchable snapshots.
New users can take advantage of our 14-day free trial to explore the full feature set without commitment. Unlike competitors who charge per-query or per-seat, Elastic’s consumption-based pricing ensures you only pay for the compute, storage, and data transfer you actually use. This "Search AI" approach caters to customer needs by providing total transparency and the ability to scale resources up or down dynamically, whether you are running on Elastic Cloud, Serverless, or Self-Managed environments. This flexibility ensures high performance and cost-efficiency for everything from startup MVPs to global enterprise data lakes.
Elasticsearch has 3 pricing editions. A free trial of Elasticsearch is also available. Look at different pricing editions below and see what edition and features meet your budget and needs.
