Hi, currently i decided to move from parse to kinvey and one thing is a bit unclear. What if my data(db+file storage) exceed 30gb limit for indie plan? Will Kinvey charge me for extra gb's or my plan will be switched to "BUSINESS" with 2k$/month(24k$/year)? Best option for me - Indie plan + extra storage(in future), because I building very specific app and I expect 8-10k active users max, but data will be stored permanently

Hi,

Can you tell me more about your storage requirements? How much storage are you using currently? What will be the average file storage per user?

I will get back to you about your questions

1. What will happen if file storage exceeds 30gb limit?
2. Can you pay for Indie plan + extra storage instead of switching to Business plan?

Regards,

Approx maximum storage requirement 5GB per year, without one of planned features i will hit 30Gb(only database) in 5-6 years. With "that feature" my app will require up to 5TB every year. It is very optimistic(honestly not realistic) scenario with maximum values, in reality i expecting almost twice less usage of a data storage. So, for the start, what will happen if file storage exceeds 30gb limit? Is it possible to pay for Indie plan + extra storage instead of switching to Business plan? Do Business plan has data storage limitations? An application under development now, avg data storage per user in first case is about 540KB, and 540MB in the second(per year), after 1 year 540KB(540MB), after 2 yrs ~1MB(1GB) etc.

Hi,

Let us discuss this over email in detail. I will send you an email shortly.

i am developing a mobile app. i want to use indie plan but i worry about data storage limit. if i exceed 30gb, what will happen? i want to ask question that do i have 30gb per month or permanently?

Hi,

The data storage limit is 30 GB in total, calculated per month.

So if your data storage exceeds 30 GB (let's say, after a few months of production deployment), Kinvey Sales team will get in touch with you and discuss your transition to a new plan.

You will not be charged for the higher plan before prior intimation. Data upload will not be affected in anyway. And your app will not stop functioning due to this.
