Free. All of it, for now.

Pricing questions

Straight answers.

Why is it free?

We're in public beta and the most useful thing you can give us right now is a real site on the platform. Cycles cost real money on the Internet Computer, and we cover them for every site within a monthly budget. In return we get feedback on what breaks before we charge anyone for it.

What's the catch?

Honest limits rather than a catch. The free account runs one site today, with a monthly cycle budget sized for a small to medium site (plenty for a marketing site, docs or a portfolio). If a site burns through its budget, automatic top-ups pause until the month resets; the site keeps serving on whatever runway it has.

Need more than one site while we're in beta? Tell us what you're building and we'll raise the limit by hand.

What happens when paid plans arrive?

You'll hear it from us by email well before anything changes, and the free tier stays. Nothing will be charged to an account that hasn't chosen a paid plan. The tiers below are our current thinking so pricing is never a surprise; they're not live and there's no billing in the product.

Who pays for cycles?

We do, from a platform wallet, under a per-site monthly budget. Your dashboard shows every site's balance as runway in days rather than a raw number, and emails you if a site is running low. You never buy ICP, never mint cycles and never top up by hand.

Can I pay you anyway, or bring my own cycles?

Not yet. Self-serve top-ups and bringing your own cycle wallet are on the roadmap alongside paid plans. If you're running something important and want to fund it directly, get in touch and we'll work something out.

Free is the whole price list right now.

Create an account, connect a repo or drop a folder, and your site is on the Internet Computer in a few minutes.
