Free plan clarification

Questions / Help
1

Hi, I read some posts and I’m not sure about something. Here is an example:
I have a machine that is shared-cpu-1x@512MB that gets billed 3.19$ every month
Would I be able to use this setup for free forever or the 5$ credits are one-time

  1. No, it is not free forever, as there is no free tier.
  2. There is a one-time $5 credit.
  3. The lowest plan is the “hobby” plan which is $5/month. The “launch” plan is $29/month.
  4. The “hobby” plan includes $5 of usage. The “launch” plan includes $29 of usage.
  5. There is some free usage included in each plan also.
  6. Edit: There is also a “legacy hobby” plan which is $0/month and also includes the free usage stated in 5 which would give a free tier to grandfathered users.

If you have an older account, there is a “legacy-hobby” account which does have a free tier.

Hi @andie i cannot really understand. can i start paying for usage on fly.io or am i locked in to always free, until i downgrade my plan and then upgrade. i just want to pay for usage and not 5$/month. i do hobby projects so i cant really start paying right now

(sorry for my bad english)

If you have the Legacy Hobby Plan, then you do not pay a monthly subscription fee. You’ll be charged for any usage over the free allowances. So yes, you can pay just usage, and not $5/month.

(BUT if you create a new organization, then the new organization will be on the $5/mo Hobby plan.)

That’s nice

This question comes up a lot. There has to be a better way to communicate it. Maybe something like:

  1. All plans are based on usage, but indicate a minimum spend. A minimum spend of $29/month gets email support, etc.
  2. Other than the legacy hobby plan, there is a minimum of $5/month for each organization.
  3. There is free allowance of 3x256MB machines for each organization.
  4. There is a one-time $5 credit to try out the services.
