Pricing Analysis
Overview
Redis open-source is free (now under SSPL + RSALv2 dual license, post-2024 license change). Redis Cloud starts at $30/month for small deployments, scales by memory. Upstash offers serverless Redis from $0 (pay per request). The license change has driven some teams to Valkey (the fork).
Cost Per User
Which Plan Is Right for You?
Free to self-host. Note the 2024 license change to SSPL+RSALv2 if you're embedding Redis in a commercial product. For internal use, no practical restriction change.
From $30/month managed. Essentials tier for single-AZ dev/staging; Pro for production with HA and clustering. Much simpler than managing Redis yourself.

Our Verdict
Still the best in-memory data store but the license change is worth monitoring. Redis Cloud pricing is reasonable vs. ElastiCache. Upstash serverless is the cheapest way into managed Redis for low-traffic apps.
