Plan prices below are monthly USD prices. Review the dashboard quote before confirming a purchase; it includes the selected capacity and billable storage. Paid service months use manual checkout and renewal.

Paid web services, private services, background workers, cron jobs, and Key Value use the paid compute tiers. Free compute is available for web services; private services and background workers are not Free web instances.

Static sites have no application compute charge. They still use shared build minutes. Key Value includes 5 GB of persistent database storage and does not contribute application build minutes.

Free web instances sleep after inactivity and share a 750-hour workspace allowance each UTC month. See Free instances.

MySQL Free is limited to one service per workspace and up to 25 simultaneous connections. The allocation includes system files and logs. PostgreSQL and MySQL use their database-specific plans, rather than the application Free plan.

Persistent storage

Application persistent disks cost $0.25 per GB per month in addition to compute. A 5 GB disk on one Starter web service therefore produces a base monthly quote of $8.25: $7 compute plus $1.25 disk.

PostgreSQL and MySQL plans include the storage shown above; Key Value includes 5 GB. Retained allocation above the selected database plan's allowance is quoted separately at $0.25 per GB per month. A downgrade does not shrink a database disk automatically.

MySQL Free does not silently grow or bill storage overages. An allocation that cannot fit its cap needs an explicit paid plan or a deliberate data migration.

Replica capacity

Manual replicas multiply the per-replica compute price. Automatic scaling quotes the selected maximum replica capacity. Review that maximum in checkout rather than assuming the smallest currently running replica count is the full purchase price.

Persistent local disks and managed databases have scaling restrictions. See Scaling before designing a multi-replica service.

Build minutes

Each workspace has at least 500 build minutes per UTC calendar month. Active paid application services contribute their plan allowances to a shared pool; the pool is the greater of 500 or the sum of qualifying contributions.

For example, one Starter service's 300-minute contribution leaves the workspace at its 500-minute minimum. Two Builder services contribute 1,200 shared minutes. Databases do not add application build minutes.

Additional packs provide 1,000 minutes for $5 and require manual purchase. Purchased packs expire at the end of their UTC purchase month. They are separate from promotional dollar credit and do not renew automatically.

One concurrent build is included. Increasing the number of services or buying minutes does not automatically increase build concurrency.

Team access and currency

A workspace without qualifying paid services includes one member and two environments per project. A qualifying paid service includes up to ten members and twenty environments per project, with no separate workspace subscription.

New checkout is USD-only. Any exchange conversion is determined by the payment provider or your bank. Historical records in another currency remain separate and do not imply an automatic credit conversion.
