We launched with metered everything pricing, primarily because it makes it really easy to offer every feature to individual dev. Like “Custom SSL”, which certain CDNs like to charge thousands of dollars per month for. However, pricing like this is very unpredictable and opaque. It causes a handful …

[image] pier: Do you get discounts when you go over say 50TB? Yep! That’ll come in a future pricing update. I imagine we’ll be adding / tweaking this for the next decade or so.

Hey @kurt any news on the pricing of the global Redis offering you mentioned in some other thread?

The plan is to keep the one we have free for lightweight usage, and then have people move to dedicated Redis (billed like any other app) when that gets to be too much. We’re working on VMs with more RAM specifically for this.

Hey! Sorry we’re a bit late to this discussion. Lots of great ideas though. Our notes: 100% agree with eliminating the free plan - I wondered how y’all were handling abuse. In fact, having the free plan did not play into our decision to go with Fly (and we’re a cash-strapped startup). It even made…

Instead, we’re going to ship new VM types, lower bandwidth pricing, add “upgrade your memory” as a feature, and basically keep metered pricing in place. Some of our products will include a free tier (like bandwid…

@kurt , is there an ETA when details of the new pricing will be published?

No ETA on actually enabling new pricing yet, but here is what we’re planning. You may not hold me to these if something changes. :wink: VMs are either going to be shared CPU or dedicated CPU. Dedicated CPU VMs won’t share hardware threads, shared CPU VMs will. Shared CPU VM with 256MB RAM: ~$3/mo …

New bandwidth prices are out and effective as of December 1st: https://fly.io/blog/we-cut-bandwidth-prices-go-nuts/ Thank you all for your feedback on pricing, we’ll be rolling out new VM pricing this month as well.

I feel personally attacked by India being so much more expensive, but thanks, this looks so much cleaner. If the first India region isn’t up yet, might want to consider Hyderabad instead of Chennai - there’s an AWS region opening there as well, should be cheaper than Chennai.
