BIG OBJECTS and Its PRICING

when I was Reading about Big objects I have seen a Comments from customer  Regarding the big objects..These are Comments from customer in Traiblazer community.

Last week we rolled our big objects as auto archiving solution. During the entire development I have had in my head the after reading the trailhead and implementation guide is that Salesforce makes it clear that its for millions or hundreds of millions or billions of records on the same platform with no mention of extra costs. However after only deploying to production and looking for a way to confirm the initial archive worked that wasn’t workbench (was displaying a total of -1 for some reason) for a few hundred thousands records do we discover we can see it from setup – company information – data usage. This is when I saw for the first time a limit of 1 million.

Big Object Storage Capacity Limits:

I have now found out from our Salesforce Account executive. the cost is $16,800 AUD per year per 50M records (we can’t buy it in any smaller amounts). Isn’t 50M completely overkill for small business of less than <100 users who have a data limit no where near proportional to this? Using us as an example we projected to put maybe 0.5M records into BO per year.

See attached screenshot for objects and Data storage Limits for Big Objects.This screenshot is from Developer limit Guide.
