Is there any extra charges for taking snapshots and reverting back to previous states in droplets? Kindly guide me about other additional charges also that I would have to pay while performing operations?
I want to buy 2 standard droplets(1GB and 2GB) for my final project…
PS: I’m a university student.

Hello,
There is no charge for the operation itself. But there is a small fee for storing a snapshot. Snapshots are charged at $0.05 per GiB per month. Pricing is based on the size of the snapshot, not the size of the filesystem being saved. For more information you can visit the official documentation here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
Thanks for guiding.
