Plans and pricing
Compare workspace access, application and database instances, storage, and build allowances.
Openstead has two separate prices: the workspace plan and the instances running inside it. Prices below are monthly USD prices for new instance selections from this release. Review the dashboard quote before confirming; workspace purchases and service purchases have separate invoices and terms. Both use manual checkout and renewal.
Workspace access
| Workspace plan | Price / month | Included access |
|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $0 | One member, 500 shared build minutes/month, seven days of logs, free hosting options |
| Pro | $25 | Up to ten members, 1,000 shared build minutes/month, thirty days of logs, audit exports, workspace two-factor enforcement |
| Scale | $99 | Up to fifty members, 5,000 shared build minutes/month, thirty days of logs, audit exports, workspace two-factor enforcement |

Workspace collaboration is separate from application and database instance prices. Hobby has no workspace fee and does not require a paid subscription to host Free instances. A Starter paid web instance on Hobby is $9/month. The same instance on Pro totals $34/month: $25 workspace plus $9 compute, before optional storage or build-minute packs.
Choose any listed instance through the dashboard's normal quote and checkout flow. Additional capacity is provisioned automatically after payment is confirmed when needed, subject to availability. This may restart the workspace host and briefly interrupt all services in the workspace. Checkout displays the capacity change before you confirm. A workspace collaboration upgrade does not resize the host or buy instance credit. Storage capacity limits are not free persistent disk allowances.
Pro and Scale are optional flat workspace subscriptions, rather than per-seat charges. Purchased service terms and renewals of an already selected legacy instance retain their quoted rates. Upgrades and new purchases require an explicit quote and confirmation.
Application compute
| Instance | Price per replica / month | Memory | Shared CPU |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free web | $0 | 512 MiB | 0.1 vCPU |
| Starter | $9 | 512 MiB | 0.5 vCPU |
| 1 CPU / 2 GiB | $25 | 2 GiB | 1 vCPU |
| 2 CPU / 4 GiB | $75 | 4 GiB | 2 vCPU |
| 2 CPU / 8 GiB | $125 | 8 GiB | 2 vCPU |
| 4 CPU / 8 GiB | $165 | 8 GiB | 4 vCPU |
| 2 CPU / 16 GiB | $190 | 16 GiB | 2 vCPU |
| 4 CPU / 16 GiB | $215 | 16 GiB | 4 vCPU |
| 8 CPU / 16 GiB | $290 | 16 GiB | 8 vCPU |
| 4 CPU / 32 GiB | $335 | 32 GiB | 4 vCPU |
| 8 CPU / 32 GiB | $425 | 32 GiB | 8 vCPU |
| 12 CPU / 24 GiB | $435 | 24 GiB | 12 vCPU |
| 12 CPU / 48 GiB | $775 | 48 GiB | 12 vCPU |
| 8 CPU / 64 GiB | $950 | 64 GiB | 8 vCPU |
| 12 CPU / 96 GiB | $1,450 | 96 GiB | 12 vCPU |
These are instance resource caps, not dedicated CPU guarantees. The dashboard checks the resources required by the selected plan and other workspace services. When additional capacity is needed, verified payment queues automatic provisioning before deployment. Your service is live only after provisioning and deployment succeed. Builds and log retention follow the workspace plan; adding instances does not multiply the workspace allowance.
Paid web services, private services, background workers, cron jobs, and Key Value use the paid compute tiers. Free compute is available for web services; private services and background workers are not Free web instances.
Static sites have no application instance charge. They still use workspace access and shared build minutes. Key Value includes 5 GB of persistent database storage and does not contribute application build minutes.
Free web instances sleep after inactivity and share a 750-hour workspace allowance each UTC month. See Free instances.
PostgreSQL and MySQL
| Plan | Price / month | Memory | CPU | Included storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PostgreSQL Starter | $15 | 1 GiB | 0.25 shared vCPU | 5 GB |
| PostgreSQL Standard | $29 | 2 GiB | 0.5 shared vCPU | 20 GB |
| PostgreSQL Professional | $65 | 4 GiB | 1 shared vCPU | 50 GB |
| PostgreSQL Business | $125 | 8 GiB | 2 shared vCPU | 100 GB |
| MySQL Free | $0 | 768 MiB | 0.25 shared vCPU | 2 GiB |
| MySQL Starter | $15 | 1 GiB | 0.25 shared vCPU | 5 GB |
| MySQL Standard | $29 | 2 GiB | 0.5 shared vCPU | 20 GB |
| MySQL Professional | $65 | 4 GiB | 1 shared vCPU | 50 GB |
| MySQL Business | $125 | 8 GiB | 2 shared vCPU | 100 GB |
MySQL Free is limited to one service per workspace and up to 25 simultaneous connections. The allocation includes system files and logs. PostgreSQL and MySQL use their database-specific plans, rather than the application Free plan.
Professional and Business databases use the same self-service checkout as the smaller database plans. Additional hosting capacity is provisioned automatically when needed. Review the selected CPU, memory, included disk and any workspace restart notice before confirming payment.
Persistent storage
Application persistent disks cost $0.25 per GB per month in addition to compute. A 5 GB disk on one new Starter web instance produces a service quote of $10.25: $9 compute plus $1.25 disk. Hobby adds no workspace fee; on Pro, that example totals $35.25/month.
PostgreSQL and MySQL plans include the storage shown above; Key Value includes 5 GB. Retained allocation above the selected database plan's allowance is quoted separately at $0.25 per GB per month. A downgrade does not shrink a database disk automatically.
MySQL Free does not silently grow or bill storage overages. An allocation that cannot fit its cap needs an explicit paid plan or a deliberate data migration.
Object storage includes 1 GiB per workspace, with 64 MiB per object. It is separate from persistent disk pricing. Writes beyond the object allowance are rejected; no object-storage overage is automatically charged.
Replica capacity
Manual replicas multiply the per-replica compute price. Automatic scaling quotes the selected maximum replica capacity. Review that maximum in checkout rather than assuming the smallest currently running replica count is the full purchase price.
Persistent local disks and managed databases have scaling restrictions. See Scaling before designing a multi-replica service.
Build minutes
Hobby includes 500 build minutes per UTC calendar month, Pro includes 1,000, and Scale includes 5,000. This allowance is shared across the workspace; creating more services or selecting a larger new instance does not multiply it.
Existing accepted contracts retain any previously granted allowance. New application and database plans do not add a separate per-service build bonus.
Additional packs provide 1,000 minutes for $20 and require manual purchase. Purchased packs expire at the end of their UTC purchase month. They are separate from promotional dollar credit and do not renew automatically. Existing confirmed pack purchases retain their purchased allowance.
One concurrent build is included. Increasing the number of services or buying minutes does not automatically increase build concurrency.
Team access and currency
Hobby includes one member. Pro includes up to ten members and Scale includes up to fifty, with no additional per-seat fee within those limits. Pro and Scale include audit exports and workspace two-factor enforcement. Service-specific features still require that service's own paid instance. These workspace plans do not include SSO, compliance certification or unlimited capacity.
Existing service terms
Already purchased service months retain their quoted price and resources. Renewals of an already selected legacy instance retain that legacy rate. The new application and database plans have separate versioned identifiers; selecting one requires a new, explicit quote and purchase at the new rate. Changing the public table does not reprice an existing paid month or resize its service. The dashboard shows the effective date for a plan change.
Location and availability
Workloads run in West Europe (Netherlands). The listed plans do not include multi-region failover, managed database high availability, dedicated CPU guarantees or compliance certification. CPU values describe shared instance caps. Usage reporting does not authorize automatic bandwidth charges; review the dashboard for measured usage and supported allowances.
Current checkout uses USD. Native NGN payment presentation is prepared but remains disabled pending payment verification; it is not a publicly available checkout option. USD invoices, promotional credits and manual renewals retain their existing behavior. Any conversion for current USD checkout is determined by the payment provider or your bank. Historical records in another currency remain separate and do not imply automatic credit conversion.
