Redis

What it is for

Redis is a hosted Insight Browser desk: you open a JSON key, and Redis Cloud Free is $0 (30 MB, one shared DB). Use it when the job is a key browser you start at $0, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Redis’s official Insight Browser (sample_restaurant:10, Dragon Noodle, 176 keys on 127.0.0.1:6379) from the Insight still — not a logo. The JSON itself is ops of Browser.

Key features

• Insight Browser — keys you filter by type and pattern (cover still; Insight). One desk. Cover Dragon Noodle sits here.
• Workbench — Redis commands with autocomplete (workbench still). A CLI, not a key row.
• Redis Cloud — Free / Essentials / Pro databases (pricing). A cluster, not Insight.
• JSON / Query Engine / Time Series — modules on the same keyspace (Insight). A type, not Browser.
• Profiler / Slow log / Search indexes — ops views next to Browser (Insight). A trace, not a JSON document.

Add key on the cover is a CTA (not a desk). Free 30 MB and Essentials $5/month are the meter. Self-host Redis OSS is $0 software.

Who it's for

Best fit: developers who will stay on Redis Cloud Free at $0 (30 MB) — or Insight against localhost — while they open a first Browser, then Essentials from $0.007/hour ($5/month) when they need 250 MB–100 GB and SSO.

Pricing

Verified 2026-10-23 (Asia/Shanghai) from redis.io/pricing.

• Self-host (Redis OSS / Community) — $0 for the server (redis/redis). You pay the host. Insight is a free desktop / web GUI.
• Cloud Free — $0. Always. Up to 30 MB. Shared. Single DB. Best-effort SLA, community support.
• Cloud Essentials — from $0.007/hour, page total $5/month. Shared. 250 MB–100 GB RAM & SSD, single DB. SAML SSO, RBAC, encryption in transit and at rest. Up to 99.99%.

• On-prem Enterprise — contact. Confirm the live quote.

Confirm checkout; taxes follow your location. AWS / Azure / GCP.

Limitations / costs

• Free is 30 MB and one DB. A production cache is Essentials $5/mo, not a second Free.
• Pro’s floor is $200/month. The “first $200 free” is a credit, not $0 forever.
• A Browser desk, not Upstash’s REST Redis. For that REST meter see Upstash.

Alternatives

• Upstash — serverless Redis when you want Upstash’s $0.20 / 100k commands, not Insight Browser.
• Neon — serverless Postgres when you want Neon’s public $, not a Redis keyspace.
• Turso — libSQL edge when you want Turso’s public $, not JSON keys.
