The machines, plus a flat fee per service.
You choose the machines for each project and pay their monthly price. Every service on them has a flat fee of $2 a month, or $1 for the Vault. Both are billed by the second from prepaid credits.
Machines
Each includes 20 TB or more of transfer. Pick one in the EU, US or APAC, and move to a bigger one whenever you need to.

$2/mo per service
Any size, as long as it fits on the machine. Volumes and storage also pay for what they store, by the GB. The Vault is $1/mo.

Frequently asked questions
- How does billing work?
- You add credits from $5, and Appentic takes what your projects cost every five minutes, down to the second. A machine is billed from the moment you add it until you remove it. A service is billed while it exists.
- Is there a free tier?
- No. You add credits before choosing your first machine. The smallest machine with a web app and a database costs about 55 cents a day.
- What happens when my credits run low?
- We email you when your balance falls to the alert balance you choose, with a button to pay a top-up, and never charge your card on our own. When your balance only covers 20 more hours of running costs, your projects are suspended and visitors see a maintenance page. Add credits within those 20 hours and everything starts again. After that the projects are deleted.
- Does a stopped machine cost anything?
- Yes. A stopped machine still holds your data, so it is billed at its normal price. Remove the machine, or delete the project, to stop paying for it.
- Are databases backed up?
- When you turn backups on, in the database's settings. A backed-up database is saved continuously and in full once a day, outside the machine, and kept for 7 days; you can restore to a new database at any point in that window. Backups are a small flat fee per database, billed by the second while they are on.
- What if my database needs more storage?
- Add a volume. It gives one database storage of its own, beyond its share of the machine’s disk, and grows whenever you need more, without a bigger machine. The database moves onto it and keeps running. A volume costs the service fee plus its size by the GB each month, shown in the app before you create one, and billed by the second.
- Which languages can I deploy?
- Anything with a Dockerfile. Without one, Appentic detects Python, Node, Bun, Go, Ruby and Rust and writes the Dockerfile for you. You can change the build and start commands in the service settings.
- What does it cost to use my own coding agent?
- Nothing extra. Connecting Claude Code or another agent to Appentic is free, and your agent bills you wherever it already does. You pay for the machines and services it creates, at the same prices as anything else here, and it has to ask you before it buys any of them.
- What does Athena cost?
- Nothing on Appentic. Athena runs on your own Claude subscription, so its work counts towards your Claude plan. The machine and services it sets up are billed like any others.
- Do Feather apps get anything extra?
- Appentic is built on Feather, and recognises a Feather app from its repository. One step creates and connects its Postgres database, Redis store and background worker, generates SECRET_KEY, and runs migrations before each new version takes traffic. The services it creates are billed like any others.
