Splunk workload pricing vs ingest pricing

[inventsekar]

Hi Splunk Gurus, 

Lets say i have 2TB daily ingest license, but lets assume daily my ingestion is averagely 1500GB for whole year(lets assume never touched or crossed the 2TB).

now, this means, i have paid extra amount to Splunk(precisely 500 GB license cost i paid extra to Splunk), right. so, can i assume for this usecase, the workload pricing is right one and cheaper one, pls suggest, thanks.  



Some details for reference:
Workload Pricing

• What it is: Based on compute resources (SVCs) and storage needed for search and analytics.
• Best for: Organizations with diverse, evolving use cases (ITOps, Security, DevOps) and variable data, especially when some data is searched infrequently.
• Key Benefit: Flexibility to ingest more data without immediate cost spikes, paying for the work done on data. 

Ingest Pricing

• What it is: A simple, volume-based model paying per GB/day of data ingested.
• Best for: Predictable data volumes, defined use cases, and when you want to run many searches on ingested data.
• Key Benefit: Predictable costs and reduced unit pricing as data volume grows.
