Pricing

Simple pricing.
Serious database intelligence.

Per-cluster. No per-seat fees. No contracts. Gorilla Credits power every AI action. You only pay for the work the agent actually does.

Every new Free account gets 30 days of Pro free. No credit card required.

How pricing works

You pay for clusters monitored,
not hosts, databases, or seats.

A cluster is one writer plus up to 9 readers, holding up to 100 databases. Every plan includes a monthly pool of Gorilla Credits that powers every AI feature. Top up with a credit pack in heavy months. Unused credits roll over for 12 months.

A small team running three production clusters, each with a writer, two read replicas, and dozens of databases, with active CI/CD and weekly schema migrations.

What database operations costs today

The real cost of keeping databases healthy.

Most teams pay for dashboards and alerts and still need an engineer to investigate every incident.

Monitoring tools
$70+ / cluster / mo
Dashboards and alerts. No autonomous investigation or optimization. Still requires human triage.
Senior DBA (fully loaded)
$160K+ / yr
One person covering 50 to 200 databases with on-call burden and single point of failure.
Incident tooling
$10K+ / yr
On-call routing, incident response, post-mortems. Still requires a human to triage every database event.
DBGorilla
from $35 / cluster / mo
Autonomous monitoring across every host and database in a cluster: EXPLAIN analysis, regression detection, index simulation, and Cornelius investigations. Less than standard monitoring tools, and the agent does the work.

Gorilla Credit packs

Top up when you need more.

Credits roll over for 12 months. Bigger packs always cost less per credit. Auto-reload on by default at 10% of your pool. Pack prices are never discounted.

PackCreditsPrice
Starter500 GC$20
Standard1,350 GC$50
Plus2,900 GC$100
Pro8,000 GC$250
Bulk17,000 GC$500
Max37,000 GC$1,000
Best per-credit value is always the larger pack. Auto-reload keeps the agent running. You set the threshold.
