Plans
Arweave uses a pay-once permanent storage model rather than traditional subscription tiers. Storage fees are calculated dynamically by the network and paid in AR tokens or via the Turbo bundling service using fiat or multi-chain crypto. There is no recurring cost once data is stored.
Plans is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Arweave on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 3 plans, with named plans including Free (Turbo), Pay-Per-Byte (Turbo Credits), Direct Node (Protocol Level).
Tagged areas include Decentralized Storage, Blockchain, Permaweb, Web3, and Data Storage.
Plans
Uploads under 100 KiB via the Turbo bundling service are completely free and do not require a prior top-up or account creation.
Purchase Turbo Credits to fund uploads larger than 100 KiB. Credits provide a 1:1 representation of upload power on the Arweave network with dynamic pricing tied to the AR token exchange rate and network storage cost.
Post transactions directly to any Arweave node using the HTTP API. Fee is the network-calculated reward paid in AR (winstons). No third-party service involved; caller manages their own AR wallet and fee estimation via the /price endpoint.
