Pricing
A little to start.
Room to grow.
Choose what each service needs. Running compute is metered by the minute. Storage, backups, and other resources are priced separately.
Standard USD rates. Confirm your account’s current rates in the dashboard.
Web services
Apps, APIs, and workers. Shared CPU with reserved memory.
STARTING AT- 512 MB RAM
- Shared, burstable CPU
- Builds, logs, and automatic HTTPS
Managed databases
A home for your data, with compute and provisioned storage.
STARTING AT- 512 MB RAM · 0.5 vCPU reserved
- 2 GB provisioned storage
- Private connections and data tools
Object storage
S3-compatible storage. Pay for the capacity you provision.
PER PROVISIONED GB- 1–64 GB per bucket
- S3-compatible API
- Private credentials and hard quota
Monthly prices assume a full month of service. Replicas are billed individually. Database storage and backup charges are separate from running compute; see the billing guide.

Compute plans.
For web services, private services, and workers. All standard compute plans use shared, burstable CPU.
| Plan | Memory | CPU | Monthly rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heli S1 | 512 MB | Shared | $3/mo |
| Heli S2 | 1 GB | Shared | $6/mo |
| Heli S3 | 2 GB | Shared | $12/mo |
| Heli S4 | 4 GB | Shared | $24/mo |
| Heli S5 | 8 GB | Shared | $48/mo |
Dedicated CPU is an optional add-on at $3 per 0.5 vCPU/month. Each additional instance adds another instance’s rate.
Data services
A clear price for your data.
Relational plans include the default storage shown below in the total. Backups are an optional additional charge.
| Database plan | Memory / reserved CPU | Default storage | Monthly total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heli DB-S1 | 512 MB / 0.5 vCPU | 2 GB | $3.5/mo |
| Heli DB-S2 | 1 GB / 1 vCPU | 4 GB | $7/mo |
| Heli DB-S3 | 2 GB / 2 vCPU | 8 GB | $14/mo |
| Heli DB-S4 | 4 GB / 4 vCPU | 16 GB | $28/mo |
| Redis · Heli KV-N | 256 MB / 0.25 vCPU | Memory-based | $2/mo |
| Redis · Heli KV-1 | 512 MB / 0.5 vCPU | Memory-based | $3/mo |
| Redis · Heli KV-2 | 1 GB / 1 vCPU | Memory-based | $6/mo |
| Redis · Heli KV-3 | 2 GB / 2 vCPU | Memory-based | $12/mo |
| ClickHouse · CH-S1 | 1 GB / 1 vCPU | 8 GB | $8/mo |
| ClickHouse · CH-S2 | 2 GB / 2 vCPU | 16 GB | $16/mo |
| ClickHouse · CH-S3 | 4 GB / 4 vCPU | 32 GB | $32/mo |
Database storage: $0.25/GB/month, provisioned from 2–64 GB. Daily backups add 20% of the storage fee. Redis plans are priced on memory.
The supporting cast
Small resources. Clear rates.
| Resource | Includes | Standard rate |
|---|---|---|
| Static site | Builds, HTTPS, SPA routing | $1/site/mo |
| Cron job | 60 run-minutes each month | $1/job/mo |
| Object storage | Provisioned capacity, 1–64 GB | $0.08/GB/mo |
| Database storage | Provisioned capacity, 2–64 GB | $0.25/GB/mo |
| Daily database backups | Automated backup schedule | 20% of storage fee |
Cron runtime beyond the included allowance and dedicated IP pricing appear in the dashboard. Available plans and account-specific rates can differ from this standard catalog.
Good questions
Before you deploy.
How is running compute billed?
The platform meters running compute by the minute. Monthly rates describe a service running for a full billing month. Replicas multiply the running compute charge. Storage and other resource charges have their own rules.
Does stopping a service stop every charge?
Running compute stops accruing when it is stopped. Under standard metered billing, a stopped service stops accruing its service charge. Held dedicated IPs are billed separately, and account-specific flat bundles can follow different rules. Check the billing guide and your dashboard.
Can I pay in naira?
Nigerian billing accounts use NGN. The currency switch on this page uses the live USD-to-NGN rate exposed by the billing platform when it is available. Your invoice and account dashboard remain the source of truth.
Can I change the plan later?
Yes. Change a service’s plan from its settings. A compute-plan change triggers a redeploy. Review capacity, workload behavior, and the new rate before applying the change.
What does the estimate include?
The calculator covers standard shared-CPU compute only. It uses a 30-day month and the hours and instances you select. It does not include storage, backups, dedicated CPU, dedicated IPs, or fees and taxes where applicable.
