# Billing

% What needs to be done: Align serverless/stateful
Elastic charges a recurring fee for using our offerings on Elastic Cloud. In this section, you'll learn how to about the dimensions used to calculate your bill, how to monitor account usage, how to manage billing, and more.

% Use migrated content from existing pages that map to this page:
## Pricing model

% - [ ] ./raw-migrated-files/cloud/cloud/ec-billing.md
% - [ ] ./raw-migrated-files/docs-content/serverless/general-manage-billing.md
Elastic Cloud pricing and billing is based on your usage across a number of dimensions. These dimensions are different for Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments and Elastic Cloud Serverless projects. Each Elastic Cloud Serverless project type also has its own billing dimensions.

* [Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/cloud-hosted-deployment-billing-dimensions.md)
* [Elastic Cloud Serverless](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/serverless-project-billing-dimensions.md)
* [Elasticsearch projects](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/elasticsearch-billing-dimensions.md)
* [Elastic Observability projects](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/elastic-observability-billing-dimensions.md)
* [Elastic Security projects](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/security-billing-dimensions.md)

For more information, you can also refer to our [Elastic Cloud Hosted](https://www.elastic.co/pricing) and [Elastic Cloud Serverless](https://www.elastic.co/pricing/serverless-search) pricing pages.

## Billing models

Depending on your organization's needs, you can use one of several billing models. These models impact who bills you for your usage, and how often you're billed.

[Learn more](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/billing-models.md).

## Manage your subscription and billing in Elastic Cloud

You can explore and manage billing, as well as your Elastic Cloud subscription, from the **Billing** section of the Elastic Cloud console.

* [Add your billing details](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/add-billing-details.md)
* [View your billing history](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/view-billing-history.md)
* [Manage your subscription](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/manage-subscription.md)
* [Monitor and analyze your account usage](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/monitor-analyze-usage.md)

You might also want to [update the contacts that receive billing emails](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/update-billing-operational-contacts.md)

For any other questions that you have about billing, refer to our [billing FAQ](/deploy-manage/cloud-organization/billing/billing-faq.md).

## Stop charges for a deployment or project

To stop charges for an Elastic Cloud deployment or project, you need to [delete it](/deploy-manage/uninstall/delete-a-cloud-deployment.md).

When a deployment or project is deleted, all data is lost. Billing for usage is by the hour and any outstanding charges for usage before you deleted the deployment or project will still appear on your next bill.

# Add your billing details [ec-billing-details]

If you want to use Elasticsearch Service beyond the trial period or if you want to use features not included in the trial, you need to add a credit card to your account. Your credit card information is sent securely to our [billing provider](http://recurly.com/security) and stored with them.
If you want to use Elastic Cloud beyond the trial period or if you want to use features not included in the trial, then you need to add a credit card to your account. Your credit card information is sent securely to our [billing provider](http://recurly.com/security) and stored with them.

Alternatively, if you want to pay for Elastic Cloud together with other cloud services that you're already using, then you can subscribe to Elastic Cloud through a [marketplace](/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/subscribe-from-marketplace.md).

If you plan to use Elastic Cloud Hosted, then you can estimate how much your use case will cost using our [pricing calculator](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/pricing).

::::{tip}
Trials get converted to paid subscriptions and billing starts when you add a credit card. If you want to maximize your trial, make sure to add your credit card near the end of the trial period.
::::


Just want a quick price estimate? Try our [Elasticsearch Service pricing calculator](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/pricing). Monitor the cost of your deployments by checking [your account usage](monitor-analyze-usage.md). Monthly costs are shown for convenience only, as billing is done by the hour. You can also test with a bigger deployment or try out additional features and only pay for the hours used.

We also offer [AWS Marketplace](../../deploy/elastic-cloud/aws-marketplace.md), [GCP Marketplace](../../deploy/elastic-cloud/google-cloud-platform-marketplace.md), and [Azure Marketplace](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-billing-azure.html) billing, if you prefer not to add a credit card directly.

To add your billing details:

1. Log in to the [Elasticsearch Service Console](https://cloud.elastic.co?page=docs&placement=docs-body).
1. Log in to the [Elastic Cloud Console](https://cloud.elastic.co?page=docs&placement=docs-body).
2. Select the user icon on the header bar and select **Billing** from the menu.
3. On the **Overview** page, select **Add billing information**.
4. If prompted, complete the multifactor authentication (MFA) required by your bank.

If you want, you can [stop new charges](stop-charges-for-project-deployment.md) by deleting your deployment.
