Pulumi Cloud offers a straightforward pricing model, charging per resource hour for managed resources and per deployment minute for Pulumi Deployments, but understanding these costs initially can be overwhelming for prospective customers. To simplify this process, Pulumi has introduced a tool for estimating costs on its Team Edition, where users can input the number of resources and their utilization to get an estimate of monthly or daily expenses. Those already using Pulumi for Infrastructure as Code can determine resource counts through a pulumi preview and estimate deployment minutes based on local stack update times. The calculator also provides information on free credits and their value, and customers with annual spending over $20,000 are encouraged to contact sales for potential bulk discounts.
