Temporal is implementing a new pricing structure for its Temporal Cloud service, featuring four plans—Essentials, Business, Enterprise, and Mission Critical—designed to cater to varying customer needs with bundled offerings for Actions, Storage, and Support. These plans aim to simplify billing and reduce costs by incorporating base usage amounts, thus eliminating the need for separate purchases. The changes, effective January 2025 for new customers and February 2025 for existing ones, offer volume pricing discounts starting at 5 million Actions and a model that attributes usage across all namespaces for better pricing as customers scale. The new structure also introduces minimum spend commitments that provide additional discounts based on size and duration, allowing for more predictable scaling. While base plans include a percentage fee at scale to accommodate increased support needs, the Essentials plan offers a lower base price and scaling cost, providing more options for customers. These adjustments are designed to support ongoing product improvements and maintain high-quality engineering support, with direct outreach planned for customers significantly impacted by cost changes.
