| plan | from $/mo | billed | source | checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $5 | by number of developers (for one small app) | pricing page | 2026-10-21 |
| Pro | $20 | by number of developers (for one small app) | pricing page | 2026-10-21 |
Hobby: $5 minimum usage, which includes $5 of credits, for a single developer workspace. Billed on what the app uses: this app is estimated at $6 of compute (0.5 GB of memory for a 30-day month at $0.00000386 per GB-second is $5.00; an average of 0.05 vCPU at $0.00000772 per vCPU-second is $1.00) plus 100 GB of egress at $0.05 a GB, so $11. The compute figure is an estimate of this app's use, not a published price.
Pro: $20 minimum usage, which includes $20 of credits, with unlimited workspace seats. The same estimated usage as Hobby ($11) is under the minimum, so the bill is $20 whatever the team size.
