The same instance prices apply to web services, private services, workers, and cron jobs. No workspace subscription. Up to 10 members with active paid services.

How pricing works

Prices are per service, per month, for one replica, before applicable taxes. CPU is shared. Databases, extra replicas, and persistent disks are priced separately. Checkout and invoices are in USD; NGN figures are reference estimates at ₦1,400 per $1. Your payment provider may apply a different exchange rate.

Build minutes from eligible active services are pooled at workspace level, with a minimum shared allowance of 500 minutes. Choose extra capacity explicitly in the console.

Choose PostgreSQL or MySQL independently of your application. Storage is included at the capacity shown, with private connections and backup controls.

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.

Redis-compatible Key Value uses the paid compute instances above, starting at $7 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.

THE DETAILS

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

A plan covers the chosen compute capacity for one service and one replica for a monthly term. It applies while that capacity is reserved, including idle time. Databases, extra replicas, and persistent app disks have separate costs.

How do I pay?

Select your service’s plan in the console, review the total, and continue to hosted checkout. The service purchase is confirmed after payment is verified. Checkout and invoices are in USD. NGN figures on this page are reference estimates at ₦1,400 per $1, not a guaranteed exchange rate.

How do renewals work?

A renewal invoice is issued two days before your paid term ends. Open Billing and pay the invoice to continue the service. 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 database data is retained.

Is there a workspace or seat subscription?

No. You pay for services, with no separate workspace subscription. A free workspace has one member. An active paid service unlocks a workspace allowance of up to ten members.

What is included with free hosting?

Static hosting is included. Free web services share 750 instance hours per workspace each month and sleep after 15 minutes without traffic. The workspace has 500 shared build minutes. Free web services do not support persistent app disks. MySQL Free is a separate option with one 2 GB database per workspace.

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. Upgrades do not shrink existing database data.

How are build minutes counted?

Build allowance is pooled across eligible active services, with at least 500 shared minutes per workspace each month. The paid plan cards show each service’s contribution. Additional build-minute packs can be purchased 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.
