Hello everyone,
I'm looking for updated information on CloudKit pricing for both public and private users. Apple provides a free tier, but I couldn't find a clear breakdown of the costs for exceeding the free limits.
Specifically, I would like to know:
Public data storage: What are the costs associated with storing and querying public records? Private data storage: How is pricing handled when a user's private data exceeds their iCloud quota? Additional requests and bandwidth: Are there any charges for extra API requests or data transfer beyond the free limits? If anyone has insights or an official reference, I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
The usage of a CloudKit private database is counted to the user's quota. CloudKit APIs return CKError.Code.quotaExceeded (or friends) when hitting the quota. Apps can check the error and remind the user with their own UI.
Regarding CloudKit public database, we currently don't have the pricing information available to public, and so I'd suggest that you file a feedback report – If you do so, please share your report ID here.
Best,
