# ksqlDB Billing

Fully managed ksqlDB is billed based on the following dimension:

| Dimension   | Unit of measure                                                                            |
|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| CSU         | Cost per [Confluent Streaming Unit](../../ksqldb/overview.md#ksqdb-cloud-pricing) per hour |

In addition to the per-CSU charge, ksqlDB applications might influence
Apache Kafka® ingress, egress, and storage.

Fully managed ksqlDB pricing is displayed in the **Add an Application**
screen:

To stop your ksqlDB application from accruing billing, delete it in the
Confluent Cloud Console, or use the Confluent CLI.

For current prices, see the [Confluent Cloud pricing page](https://www.confluent.io/pricing/).
