App and Postgres hosting from $5/month

Developer includes $5 of monthly credit. Pro includes $20. Plan payments apply against measured app and PostgreSQL resources. Pay $5 for Developer today; eligible accounts receive a one-time $5 launch credit after successful payment.

Choose your monthly usage credit

Developer is $5 a month. Pro is $20. The plan payment becomes credit against measured resource use. Set a monthly spend limit for each workspace.

Choose Pro

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.

ExamplePlan

100,000 dynamic requests, 10 GB download, twenty builds; PostgreSQL active six hours a day.

Estimated total $9.84

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 measured native runtime, request, edge, and database 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 Cloud meters native runtime compute at $0.000022223/GB-second, Lambda requests at $0.266667/million, API requests at $4.666667/million, HTTPS edge requests at $0.029334/10,000, global edge download at $0.16/GB, and edge upload at $0.213334/GB. PostgreSQL compute uses its enforced allocation at $0.106/CU-hour. Your monthly plan credit applies before the cap.

Is PostgreSQL database hosting available yet?

Yes. Database Hosting is available to early customers. Create PostgreSQL at 0.25-1 CU, reveal an owner-only trusted-TLS connection, use the Workbench, pause or resume compute, and create encrypted backups with support-assisted restores. Customer PITR, automatic HA, read replicas, multi-region, and an SLA are not included.

Which regions can I choose?

New public App Hosting projects currently run in AWS US East (Virginia). Database Hosting uses the current shared DigitalOcean NYC3 cell. Existing regional workloads remain visible in their current Host Little regions during migration.

How does the workspace spend limit work?

Set a monthly workspace spend limit in Billing. The recorded ledger 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 deployments, redacted runtime logs, CPU and memory metrics, 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.
