Pricing
Vault56 pricing is easiest to understand in the context of what it replaces: backend engineering time, infrastructure assembly, and the ongoing cost of maintaining custom platform foundations.
Storage Cost
Vault56 pricing starts with what your product stores, whether that is structured application data or S3-compatible file data.
Usage Cost
As traffic grows, pricing reflects the amount of data leaving the platform and the number of API requests your product makes.
Reserved Capacity
Teams with bigger commitments can plan around reserved capacity and annual commitments instead of only variable monthly usage.
Infrastructure Economics
These numbers give a practical view of storage and usage economics for teams planning a Vault56-based product.
Real-World Examples
These examples show how Vault56 costs can map to different product sizes, from a small app to large-scale storage-heavy workloads.
Small App Example
Web app with roughly 50 MB of API storage and mobile usage around 5,000 monthly users.
Large App Example
Around 4 TB of file data with revisions enabled, billed as 6 started TB, plus 60 GB of API storage and about 1,000,000 monthly users.
Pure S3 Example
10 TB of file storage using direct S3 access for teams that mainly need durable storage capacity.
The economic argument is not just raw infrastructure cost. The larger value is that Vault56 can reduce the amount of custom backend work your team has to design, build, test, and maintain before the interface work even begins.
It is strongest when the app has enough complexity that backend work would otherwise turn into a meaningful project of its own: structured data, files, workflows, approvals, operational controls, or repeated product rollouts.
