Pay as you go

Our core billing model follows a pay-as-you-go structure, translating to hourly billing, which is applicable across all services and provides substantial flexibility. By adopting this approach, you can sidestep vendor lock-ins and transition in and out as needed. Ultimately, we believe that a genuinely exceptional service doesn't need to force users into staying.

Pay in advance

Prior to using our service, all payments must be made in advance. Deposits are credited to your account balance after deducting applicable VAT. As a result, the displayed amount represents the total funds available for spending on cloud resources.

Discounts

Discounts are considered supplementary to your final balance. For instance, if you deposit $100 with a 20% discount, your ultimate balance will be $120. VAT is deducted beforehand, where applicable.

Hourly billing

All resources are invoiced on an hourly basis from a pre-paid balance. Please note that certain resources can only be established if your account maintains sufficient funds to sustain such a subscription for a specified duration, typically a minimum of 24 hours.

This action does not instantly expend the funds; rather, it reserves them until they are used or until the resource is deleted. This approach ensures timely low balance notifications are sent out by the system, as delayed payments could potentially lead to data loss.

How is the monthly price estimated?

The monthly price is a calculated estimate derived from the hourly rate multiplied by 730 hours. This calculation is based on the average of 8760 hours in a year. For precise pricing, it is advisable to refer to the hourly rates.

Can I withdraw from my balance?

Yes, under certain circumstances.

Unused funds can be refunded upon request. It's important to note that this is distinct from a refund.
