# Lowering Costs with Redis Enterprise in 90 Seconds **Tagline:** News & Media | **Authors:** William Johnston | **Categories:** How To and Tutorials, Tech | **Published:** 2022-01-04 | **Updated:** 2025-03-04 We have reached the final post in our “[Redis in 90 seconds](/blog/learn-how-redis-simplifies-your-architecture-in-90-seconds/)” series. The purpose of this series is not to cover every aspect of Redis in-depth. Instead, we want to briefly highlight a few topics that you might not already know about Redis. In this post, we’ll walk you through what you can do to start lowering costs with Redis Enterprise. ## Scaling While Lowering Costs with Redis Have you ever compared Redis with other Redis providers and been surprised at the cost? It is a common question we are asked all the time. These providers allow you to use Redis as a cache and get the performance gains with sub-millisecond queries. The problem is, other Redis providers don’t optimize Redis to **minimize your costs**. Even database solutions such as [DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb) can be expensive and slower than Redis, with queries upwards of 10 milliseconds or more. [Redis Enterprise](/redis-enterprise/advantages/), even with all the added features, starts at just $7/mo and stays as low as $0 for your first six months when you use credits. This is great for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and unlike other providers, Redis Enterprise is optimized for performance *and* cost savings at scale. With Redis Enterprise, take advantage of [Redis on Flash](/docs/benchmarking-redis-in-full-acid-configuration-on-emc-vmax-0-5-million-opssec/) to store terabytes of data while achieving sub-millisecond latencies and keeping costs at a minimum. This results in up to 80% in savings versus Redis from other cloud providers. So, Redis Enterprise isn’t only feature-rich and blazing fast, it’s also cost-effective for both SMBs and large enterprises.
