How subscriptions work
Choose a plan
Select a subscription tier that matches your expected usage from the Tusky dashboard.
Pay in SUI
Subscription fees are paid monthly in SUI. Payment is processed at the start of each billing cycle.
Use your allowances
Each plan includes monthly limits for transactions, bandwidth, and storage. Usage is tracked in real time on the dashboard.
Walrus costs remain pay-per-use
The subscription covers Tusky infrastructure costs. Walrus storage costs (WAL) are still deducted from your prepaid wallet balance on each upload.
A subscription covers Tusky’s infrastructure costs for the month. You still need WAL in your managed wallet for Walrus storage payments.
Plans
Tusky offers tiered subscription plans to fit different usage levels. The following tiers are representative — visit the dashboard for current pricing and limits.| Starter | Growth | Scale | |

Best for
Subscriptions are ideal when:- Your application has predictable traffic patterns and you want to budget costs in advance.
- You prefer a fixed monthly bill over variable per-transaction charges.
- You are running a production application and want to avoid per-request payment overhead.
- You want a flat monthly rate covering infrastructure instead of per-request billing.
You can switch between subscription and pay-as-you-go at any time. When you cancel a subscription, you revert to pay-as-you-go billing at the end of the current billing cycle.
