Step 6: Inspect database usage

Turso bills you based on the usage of your database, including total size and number of rows read.

info

During the Turso, public beta there is no cost to use Turso, but you are limited in how much data you can store, and how many databases you can have.

You can check the usage using turso db inspect:

turso db inspect my-db

The output looks similar to the following:

Total space used for tables: 8.0 KiB
Total space used for indexes: 0 B
Number of rows read: 13

Internally, Turso uses the SQLite dbstat virtual table to calculate usage among all user-defined tables and indexes.

note

Use the --verbose flag to see a detailed breakdown of usage per table, index, and location.
