Grant
Grant is a discount for using any Yandex Cloud services provided to a sole proprietor, a business, or an individual. The discount amount is equal to the grant amount. It is applied to the total cost of the consumed services.

The currency of the cost of services depends on the agreement and the country of residence:
- For residents of Russia, the cost is displayed in rubles (₽) and includes VAT.
- For residents of Kazakhstan, the cost is displayed in tenge (₸) and includes VAT.
- For non-residents of Russia or Kazakhstan, the cost is displayed in US dollars ($) and does not include taxes or fees.
