About Usage-Based Billing
There are three types of usage-based billing:
- Outbound Data Transfer
- Autoscale Compute Units
- Requests
You can view your usage in your account here. Billing occurs monthly or once your accumulated costs reach $10. Both Hacker and Pro subscription users receive monthly allowances for these resources.
1. Deployments Outbound Data Transfer
This type of usage is billed per byte with Hacker and Pro subscribers receiving a monthly allowance. Only egress (outgoing) data is counted against this allowance, potentially leading to overages. In contrast, ingress (incoming) data is always free.
| Subscription | Allowance |
|---|---|
| Hacker | 50 GiB |
| Pro | 100 GiB |
Exceeding your allowance costs $0.10 per GiB. The allowances apply to both Static and Autoscale deployments.

2. Compute Units
The runtime for Autoscale Deployments is billed using Compute Units, which consider both CPU and RAM time. Hacker and Pro users receive a monthly allowance:
| Subscription | Allowance |
|---|---|
| Hacker | 3 million Compute Units/month |
| Pro | 6 million Compute Units/month |
Overages are billed at $1 per million Compute Units. The granularity of the billing is down to each individual compute unit ($0.00000125 each).
Here is a breakdown of how RAM and CPU seconds for an Autoscale Deployment translate into Compute Units:
| Resource | Compute Units | Cost/second |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RAM Second | 2 Units | $0.0000025/second |
| 1 CPU Second | 18 Units | $0.0000225/second |
Static Deployments don't consume Compute Units. Their billing is solely for Outbound Data Transfers beyond a specified amount.

3. Requests
Autoscale Deployments also consider the number of requests made. Here are the monthly allowances for Hacker and Pro:
| Subscription | Allowance |
|---|---|
| Hacker | 1.25 million requests/month |
| Pro | 2.5 million requests/month |
Requests beyond the allowances are billed at $0.40 per million.
Additional Notes
If there's an issue with your payment method, we'll notify you. Continuous payment failures might lead to the suspension of your deployments. If this happens, please contact support and update your payment details to regain access to our services.
