    Pay As You Go is a flexible model allowing you to pay only for the services you use. Pay only for what you use.
    Atom Pack
    Prepaid credit packs for simulations with significant discounts on larger purchases. Volume discounts with bundles.
    Subscription plans
    Choose the right plan for your ongoing simulation needs with predictable pricing. There are Spot, Storage and Support plan.
    Purchase Atom
    Atom Credits are the currency used for computing resources on Materials Square.
    Purchase them individually or in bundles to power your simulations.
    Atom Usage
  • Utilizing a Single Atom as the Core for CPU computations (DFT, MD, etc.)
  • Execute 2 core-hours on On-Demand with 1 Atom
  • Execute 4 core-hours on Spot with 1 Atom
  • Advanced CALPHAD Analysis Options
  • Individual Atoms
    1 Atom = $1
    Individual Atoms
    • Purchase Atoms individually at a standard rate of $1 per Atom. Individual Atoms never expire and can be used for any type of simulation.
    • Standard Rate: 1 Atom = $1
    • Minimum purchase $10
    • Available for purchase in increments of $1
    Never expire
    Use them anytime you need
    All simulation types supported
    Including CALPHAD calculations
    Flexible usage
    Can be used for both on-demand and spot resources
    Atom Packs
    • Purchase Atoms in bundles for significant discounts
    • Unused Atoms in each Pack expire at the end of its validity period
    • Monthly and Yearly Packs are valid for 30 and 365 days respectively, starting from the date of purchase
    Using a Single Atom as the Core
    = 2 On-demand core hours

    CALPHAD Service
    Our CALPHAD (Calculation of Phase Diagrams) service uses Atom credits for each query. Different databases have specific Atom requirements.
    MatSQ Ni 1.0
    3 atoms per query
    MatSQ AL 1.0
    1.5 atoms per query
    MatSQ FE 2.0
    3 atoms per query
    MatSQ HEA 1.0
    1.5 atoms per query
    Each database has a specific atom cost per query
    Atoms are deducted from your available Atom credits
    No separate payment needed - just use your Atom balance
    More complex calculations require more atoms
    Access to industry-standard databases
    Pay only for what you use with Atom credits
    Seamless integration with your Atom credit balance
    Subscription Plans
    Spot Subscription, Storage Subscription, and Support Subscription.
    Spot Compute
    Storage
    Support
    Spot Compute
    The Spot Compute subscription provides a "fixed" number of spot cores.
    You can subscribe on a monthly or yearly basis to access simulation services using Spot Instances provided by Materials Square.
    (By utilizing surplus server capacity, Spot Instances offer a more affordable pricing model.)
    Tip: Choose the number of cores and the subscription period that best suit your needs.

    Please note
    • SPOT Instances can be interrupted at any time, which may stop your calculation. In such cases, calculations may need to be restarted manually.
    • SPOT Compute services do not save logs if the computing is interrupted.
    • For critical simulations that require complete logs, consider On-Demand computing instead.
    • Prices shown are exclusive of VAT
