Workload Pricing: pay for what you use
Workload pricing is based on the amount of compute and storage resources required to run search and analytics workloads, so you can cost-effectively ingest volumes of large data into Splunk. This option is ideal when you need to store data that you search and analyze rarely.

*Please note that this value is simply an estimate. There are a variety of factors that could influence the actual amount of SVCs that you would be provisioned with Splunk. A few examples of such factors include changing or unknown use cases, and the proportion of Indexers to Search Heads allotted for your entitlement.
Workload pricing FAQ's
Annual subscriptions are available for Splunk Cloud Platform. Term licenses are available for on-premises products. Learn more about the specific capacity and limitations of different Splunk offerings here.
Under the Workload Pricing model, Splunk Cloud Platform offers license allocation based on compute capacity, unlike ingest licensing which is based on data volume, measured in SVC units. Splunk Virtual Compute (SVC) is a unit of cloud compute, memory and I/O resources. These, in turn, are primarily driven by search quantity and complexity as well as daily indexing volume. Workload pricing is a value oriented pricing option that can help align your Splunk investment with your search activity and provide the flexibility to bring data volume without ingest limits.
Workload pricing is available for Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise Security, or Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI).
