Hobby has no workspace fee. Pro and Scale are flat workspace prices with included member limits; instance compute and storage are separate. A workspace upgrade does not resize services or include instance credit. Purchased terms and legacy renewals keep their quoted prices. New purchases require explicit checkout.

Start with Hobby and free instances, then pay for the resources or collaboration your project needs. Additional capacity is provisioned automatically after payment is confirmed when needed. This may restart the workspace host and briefly interrupt all services in the workspace; review the notice at checkout.

The same instance prices apply to web services, private services, workers, and cron jobs. Workspace collaboration is charged separately. CPU is shared. Choose any listed instance and review its quote in the dashboard. Additional hosting capacity is provisioned automatically when needed, subject to availability. Renew manually by paying your monthly invoice.

How pricing works

Workspace collaboration and service compute are separate charges. Hobby is $0 per workspace per month; Pro and Scale are flat workspace subscriptions with included member limits, not per-seat charges. Service prices are per calendar month for one replica, before applicable taxes. Pay a month upfront and renew manually by invoice. CPU is shared, not dedicated. Databases, extra replicas and persistent app disks are priced separately. Additional capacity is provisioned automatically after confirmed payment when needed. This may restart the workspace host and briefly interrupt its services; checkout explains the change before confirmation. Purchased service terms and renewals of an already selected legacy instance retain their quoted pricing; upgrades require explicit checkout. Invoices and credits remain in USD. NGN figures are reference estimates at ₦1,400 per $1; review the final payment amount and currency before paying.

Build minutes are shared across the workspace: Hobby includes 500, Pro 1,000 and Scale 5,000 minutes per month. Additional build packs cost $20 per 1,000 minutes and require explicit purchase in the console.

MySQL Free includes a 2 GB disk and up to 7 days of backup retention. Additional capacity requires a paid plan. Database ports stay private to hosted applications. MySQL Free is available on Hobby without a required paid workspace subscription.

Redis-compatible Key Value uses the paid compute instances above, starting at $9 per month, with 5 GB of included storage.

Keep files between releases.

Add a persistent app disk to a paid service. Database storage above the plan allowance uses the same rate. All included database and attached app disks must fit within the available hosting capacity; a capacity limit is not a free disk allowance.

THE DETAILS

Clear answers.
Clearer costs.

Ask about your project
What does a monthly service plan cover?

A service plan covers its chosen compute capacity for one replica for one calendar month, paid upfront, including idle time. Hobby has no workspace fee; Pro and Scale collaboration subscriptions are optional and charged separately. Choose any listed instance through checkout. Additional capacity is provisioned automatically after verified payment when needed. Checkout warns you if this may restart the workspace host and briefly interrupt its services. Review all terms in Billing.

How do I pay?

Select your service’s plan in the console, review the plan name, monthly total, credits and amount due, then continue to hosted checkout. The paid plan is activated after payment is confirmed, not simply when you return from checkout. If credits cover the total, you must confirm their use. Invoices and credits remain in USD. NGN figures here are reference estimates at ₦1,400 per $1; use NGN checkout only when offered in the console and review its quoted amount before paying.

How do renewals work?

Renewal is manual. A renewal invoice is issued two days before your paid term ends. Open Billing and pay the invoice or explicitly confirm available credits to continue hosting. Renewals do not automatically charge a saved card. If unpaid, a three-day grace period follows the end of the term; then compute pauses and data is retained.

Is there a workspace or seat subscription?

Hobby is free for one workspace member. Pro is $25 per workspace per month for up to ten members; Scale is $99 for up to fifty. These are flat workspace prices, not per-seat charges. Service compute is separate. Purchased terms and current legacy instance renewals retain their quoted pricing. A subscription is never added automatically.

What is included with free hosting?

Hobby has no workspace fee and includes static hosting, Free web compute and one MySQL Free database. Free web services share 750 instance hours each month and sleep after 15 minutes without traffic. Hobby includes 500 shared build minutes. Free web services do not support persistent app disks.

Why are workspace collaboration and compute separate?

Workspace plans cover member access, shared build allowances, log retention and collaboration controls. Instance plans cover each application or database’s CPU and memory. Upgrading a workspace does not resize its services; selecting a larger instance does not automatically upgrade workspace collaboration.

How much do persistent disks cost?

Persistent app disks are $0.25 per GB each month on paid services. PostgreSQL and MySQL plans include the storage listed above; retained storage above that allowance is charged at the same rate. Included database disks and app disks both count towards available host capacity. Upgrades do not shrink existing database data.

How are build minutes counted?

Build allowance is shared across the workspace: Hobby includes 500 minutes, Pro 1,000 and Scale 5,000 each month. Choosing more services does not multiply that allowance. Additional packs cost $20 per 1,000 minutes and require an explicit purchase in Billing.

Which database should I choose?

Choose PostgreSQL or MySQL to match your application. Both use private connections and provide backup and restoration controls. MySQL includes phpMyAdmin access from the console. These are single-node database plans, so choose a recovery process that suits your data and availability needs.

What object storage is available?

The current object storage allowance is 1 GiB per workspace, with a 64 MB maximum object size. It is separate from persistent application and database disks. No paid object storage tiers are included in these prices.

Where do services run?

Hosting is available in West Europe. Services use shared CPU and databases run on a single node with private connections. These prices do not include dedicated CPU, multi-region failover, a contractual uptime SLA or compliance certification.
