Use Case: COINBASE OHLCV 1MIN Cost Estimate
Flat Files OHLCV 1MIN pricing for measured COINBASE data: one-time backfill vs ongoing monthly daily downloads.
Use Case: COINBASE OHLCV 1MIN Cost Estimate
This example estimates OHLCV 1MIN Flat Files cost for measured COINBASE OHLCV_ACTIVE_CONSOLIDATED data.
Each file contains all COINBASE symbols supported during the period. OHLCV 1MIN volume shares one daily tier for that data type. Tier thresholds reset every calendar UTC day. Committed plans renew monthly and can be cancelled before the next renewal.

Pay As You Go rates
| Daily tier / data type | Rate |
|---|---|
| First 20.48 MB / day | $2.00 per MB |
| Next 184.32 MB / day | $1.00 per MB |
| Above 204.8 MB / day | $0.50 per MB |
Scenario A: One-time historical backfill
Download the full measured 2,331.98 MB on a single UTC day.
| Tier | Usage | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| First 20.48 MB | 20.48 MB | $40.96 |
| Next 184.32 MB | 184.32 MB | $184.32 |

Plan comparison for this one-time job
| Plan | Included credits / month | Estimated cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | N/A | $1,288.87 | Billed once as used |
| Committed 64 | ~75.29 UC | $1,277.58 | $64 + $1,213.58 overage |
| Committed 256 | ~341.33 UC | $1,203.54 | $256 + $947.54 overage |
| Committed 512 | ~731.43 UC | $1,069.44 | $512 + $557.44 overage |
| Committed 1024 | ~1,575.38 UC | $1,024.00 | Covered by included credits |
Recommendation: Committed 1024 for one month ($1,024.00), then cancel before the next renewal. That is cheaper than Pay As You Go ($1,288.87) for this backfill, and you are not locked into further months.
Scenario B: Ongoing daily production
Download each new daily file as it becomes available, using the measured average of ≈ 12.8839 MB/day.
Cost per UTC day
12.8839 MB × $2.00 = $25.7678 / day
Cost per billing month (30 days)
$25.7678 × 30 = $773.03 / month
Optional 12-month projection
Use this only if you keep the same plan for 12 months. You can cancel earlier and pay only for the months used.
| Plan | Included credits / month | Monthly cost | Cost if kept 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | N/A | $773.03 | $9,276.36 |
| Committed 64 | ~75.29 UC | $761.74 | $9,140.88 |
| Committed 256 | ~341.33 UC | $687.70 | $8,252.40 |
| Committed 512 | ~731.43 UC | $553.60 | $6,643.20 |
| Committed 1024 | ~1,575.38 UC | $1,024.00 | $12,288.00 |
Committed 512 monthly math:
$512 + (773.03 − 731.43) UC overage = $553.60 / month
For ongoing usage, Committed 512 is the lowest monthly option. Committed 1024 is useful for the one-time backfill above, but may be expensive to keep every month for this daily feed alone.
Result
| Workload | Best fit | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| One-time 2,331.98 MB backfill | Committed 1024 for 1 month, then cancel | $1,024.00 |
| Ongoing daily download | Committed 512 | $553.60 / month |
Daily production stays in the $2.00/MB first tier every UTC day. The one-time backfill reaches the cheaper $0.50/MB tier for most of the measured volume.
Caveat
OHLCV period pricing differs for 1SEC, 1HRS, and 1DAY — each period is its own data type bucket. Other OHLCV 1MIN downloads on the same UTC day share this same daily tier. Actual daily file size varies with active symbol count and market activity.
