Developer
For personal projects and smaller production apps
$5/month
$5 monthly usage credit included
- GitHub builds with Railpack
- Public OCI image deploys
- Optional PostgreSQL hosting
- Custom domains, HTTPS, logs, and metrics
App hosting pricing
App hosting with a $5 monthly minimum.
Developer includes $5 of monthly credit. Pro includes $20. Both cover app hosting and optional PostgreSQL hosting and start with a card-required 7-day trial.
App hosting pricing
App hosting plans and resource rates.
Your plan payment becomes non-rollover usage credit each month. Host Little applies that credit to measured resources first, then bills only the usage beyond it.
Pro
For production workspaces that need more monthly credit
$20/month
$20 monthly usage credit included
- GitHub builds with Railpack
- Public OCI image deploys
- Optional PostgreSQL hosting
- Custom domains, HTTPS, logs, and metrics
Published rate card
The same rates apply to Developer and Pro. PostgreSQL database storage counts as persistent volume usage; its CPU and memory use the enforced allocation. Set a monthly workspace spend limit from Billing.
| Resource | Rate | How it accrues |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | $20/vCPU-month | Measured app use; database allocation |
| Memory | $10/GB-month | Measured app use; database allocation |
| Persistent volume | $0.15/GB-month | Accrues while provisioned |
| Data transfer | $0.03/GB | Measured outbound transfer |
How the workspace spend limit behaves
The ledger can trail live activity. When recorded usage reaches the limit, app and PostgreSQL database compute are suspended. Persistent storage can continue accruing until you delete the resource.
The card-required 7-day trial includes $5 of bounded usage. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the monthly commitment. Compute pauses if recorded trial usage reaches the allowance.

Frequently asked questions
What can I deploy?
Create a web service from a GitHub repository with Railpack, or choose a public Linux amd64 OCI image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, Quay, or GitLab Container Registry during first checkout or later project creation. Image-source apps must listen on PORT=3000 at 0.0.0.0.
How do the monthly plans work?
Developer is $5/month and Pro is $20/month. The payment becomes non-rollover usage credit for that month. Usage beyond the credit is billed at the published resource rates. New App Cloud plans are monthly-only.
What does the trial include?
The card-required trial lasts 7 days and includes $5 of bounded usage on either plan. Cancel before it ends to avoid the selected monthly commitment.
What usage is metered?
App Cloud meters CPU at $20/vCPU-month, memory at $10/GB-month, persistent volumes at $0.15/GB-month, and outbound data transfer at $0.03/GB. App CPU and memory use recorded runtime measurements; PostgreSQL database CPU and memory use its enforced allocation. Usage is prorated.
Can I add PostgreSQL database hosting?
Yes. Add PostgreSQL during first checkout or later project creation. Host Little places it in the project region, injects protected connection variables, runs automatic daily backups with seven-day retention on current Developer and Pro plans, and creates separate 72-hour restore copies. Account owners can also reveal a TLS verify-full connection for psql or pg_dump. Your team manages schema, queries, data correctness, and restore validation.
Which regions can I choose?
Choose US East, US West, or Europe during project creation. A region can refuse a new project only when current capacity cannot safely fit it.
How does the workspace spend limit work?
Billing lets you set a monthly workspace spend limit. The recorded ledger can trail live activity, so usage can exceed the displayed limit before the next reading. When recorded usage reaches the limit, app and PostgreSQL database compute are suspended. Persistent storage can continue accruing until it is deleted.
What can I manage from a project?
Project pages expose deployments, redacted logs, metrics, domains, environment variables, source controls, and deletion. GitHub projects also support a selected development branch; image-source projects expose image update and redeploy controls instead.
What can I take with me?
Your GitHub source or public OCI image and domain remain under your control, and the portal exports account records. For a PostgreSQL database, the account owner can reveal the TLS connection and run pg_dump before deletion. Deleting the project permanently deletes the database.
