Developer
Start with $5 of monthly resource credit
$5/month
Plan terms
- App Hosting and PostgreSQL usage
- Default $25 monthly usage limit
App and Postgres hosting from $5/month
Developer is $5 with $5 monthly usage credit. Eligible new accounts also get a one-time $5 launch credit. Pro is $20 with $20 monthly usage credit. App and database usage share one bill.
Choose your monthly usage credit
Developer is $5 a month. Pro is $20. Every dollar of that minimum covers app and database usage together. If Developer uses $8 of resources, the total bill is $8 before tax. Set a monthly spend limit for each workspace.
Pro
Get $20 of monthly credit at the same resource rates
$20/month
Plan terms
- App Hosting and PostgreSQL usage
- Default $100 monthly usage limit
Choose when compute should pause with a monthly usage limit. Final charges can exceed that limit while the pause takes effect or earlier usage is reported. Storage stays billable until deleted.
Included with both plans
- GitHub-hosted Node.js and Next.js HTTP apps
- Managed PostgreSQL from the same usage wallet
- Domains, HTTPS, logs, and runtime measurements
Estimate your monthly bill
Start with a 30-day example, then adjust the usage. These are illustrative workloads, not customer bills.
A quiet app with 15 requests, one short build and no database usage.
Estimated total $5.00

How the workspace spend limit works
Change your monthly usage limit in Billing. Reaching it requests a pause for app and database compute; the pause is not immediate. Your plan payment continues, and storage remains billable until deleted. Raising the limit can resume compute.
Card required. Pay $5 today for Developer, and eligible accounts receive a one-time $5 launch credit after successful payment. Monthly plan payments remain non-rollover usage credit.
Frequently asked questions
What can I deploy?
Deploy a GitHub-hosted Node.js or Next.js HTTP application. Host Little builds the selected repository branch, admits the release after its health checks, and serves it through the managed HTTP path.
How do the monthly plans work?
Developer is $5/month and Pro is $20/month. 100% of your plan payment becomes non-rollover usage credit for that month, applied to app and database usage together. For example, $8 of usage on Developer means an $8 total bill before tax: the $5 minimum plus $3 additional usage.
What does the launch credit include?
Developer charges $5 when checkout succeeds. Eligible new Developer accounts then receive a one-time $5 launch credit in addition to that month's plan credit. Monthly and launch credits do not roll over.
What usage is metered?
App usage includes requests, active CPU time, builds, retained deployments, and custom hostnames. Database usage includes active compute and stored data. Platform backup storage has no separate usage charge. Both use one workspace credit. See the resource rates below for each unit. Transfer on the standard app delivery path has no per-GB charge; storage and processing are separate.
What does Database Hosting include?
Create PostgreSQL at 0.25-1 CU, use an owner-only trusted-TLS connection and Workbench, pause or resume compute, and create encrypted backups with support-assisted restores.
Which regions can I choose?
Apps serve through Cloudflare’s global network and build in an isolated AWS environment. Database Hosting currently uses DigitalOcean NYC3. The portal shows the location available for each resource.
How does the workspace spend limit work?
Set a monthly workspace spend limit in Billing. Recorded usage can trail live activity, so usage may cross the displayed limit before reconciliation. At the limit, app and PostgreSQL compute are suspended through the normal lifecycle path. Observed compute and persistent storage can continue accruing.
What can I manage from a project?
Project pages expose deployment progress, build logs, runtime diagnostics when available, custom HTTPS domains, environment variables, and source controls. Database workspaces add secure connection reveal, usage, lifecycle controls, backups, and an SQL workbench.
What can I take with me?
Your GitHub source and domain remain under your control. Database Hosting customers can use the owner-only TLS connection and pg_dump before deletion. Support-assisted restore is available for verified encrypted backups.
