Pricing Overview

RepoCloud is built on the principle that cloud hosting should be powerful, flexible, and affordable. Our pricing model is designed to provide significant cost savings compared to major cloud providers while delivering enterprise-grade performance and reliability.

​
Elastic Hourly Autoscaling

Our signature pricing feature is Elastic Hourly Autoscaling, available for managed application deployments. It allows you to pay only for what you actually use.

Traditional Cloud Pricing

With traditional cloud providers, you pay for peak capacity 24/7, even when your server is idle, leading to wasted resources and higher costs.

RepoCloud Autoscaling

Our system dynamically adjusts resources based on actual usage, scaling up instantly when needed and down when not required, with per-hour metering.

​
How Autoscaling Works

  1. Your application starts with minimum necessary resources
  2. As demand increases, resources scale up instantly without downtime
  3. During periods of low activity, resources scale down automatically
  4. You’re billed hourly based on actual resource consumption
Example Savings: Instead of allocating a fixed 16GB RAM instance at $48/month, RepoCloud might adjust your actual usage down to an average of 1GB RAM at $3/month during low-traffic periods, potentially resulting in up to 93% cost savings.
Autoscaling is available for Container Apps only. VPS Apps use fixed resource tiers with a dedicated IPv4 address included at no extra charge.

​
Resource Tiers

VPS Apps use fixed resource tiers. Container Apps can choose between autoscaling and fixed tiers:
The $3/month tier (1 GB RAM) is only available for Container Apps. VPS instances start at $6/month (2 GB RAM). All tiers include Intel vCPU, NVMe SSD, DDR4 ECC RAM, SSL certificates, custom domain support, and 1 Gbps connections.

​
VPS Deposit Gate

VPS Apps (and the API/MCP) require a one-time minimum deposit of $1 to unlock access. Additionally, deploying a VPS instance requires a balance greater than $3 at the time of deployment. These thresholds apply to all VPS deployment methods: dashboard, AI Deploy, and API.

​
Additional Resources

Beyond the base resource tiers, you can also add:
  • Dedicated IPv4 Address: Included at no extra charge with every VPS instance
  • Snapshots: $0.10 per GB per month — point-in-time backups, up to 5 per instance
  • Additional NVMe SSD storage: $0.10 per GB per month
  • Data Transfer In: $0 per GB (free)
  • Data Transfer Out: $0.10 per GB beyond the tier-specific free allowance (1 TB for Tier 1, scaling up to 10 TB for Tier 7)

​
Billing Model

RepoCloud operates on a simple, transparent, credit-based billing model:
  • Prepaid Credit: Your account carries a credit balance, visible at the top of your dashboard and in the Billing tab
  • Hourly Metering: Resource usage is metered hourly and deducted from your balance
  • Auto Recharge: In the Billing tab, you can enable Auto Recharge to automatically purchase a set amount of credit whenever your balance drops below a threshold you choose (requires a payment method on file)
  • Usage History: Download a detailed usage history from the Billing tab at any time
  • Paused Instances: Pausing an instance reduces its billing to 25% of the normal rate; deleting it stops billing entirely
  • Baseline Cost: The smallest tier is $3.00 per month, so an instance that runs continuously all month costs at least that much
  • No Hidden Fees: What you see is what you pay
  • No Long-term Contracts: Pay as you go with no lock-in
When you sign up, new customers receive free credit for their first 30 days to test and run applications. Once this is exhausted, standard pricing applies.

​
Cost Comparison

RepoCloud’s pricing is designed to be approximately half that of major cloud providers:
Competitor prices reflect each provider’s cheapest comparable on-demand plan (same RAM, closest vCPU, US region, no commitments), last verified in July 2026. See the full price comparison for plan names and additional providers.

​
Choosing the Right Plan

When selecting a plan, consider these factors:
  1. Application Requirements: Different applications have different resource needs
  2. Expected Traffic: Higher traffic requires more resources
  3. Usage Patterns: Variable usage benefits most from autoscaling
  4. Budget Constraints: Fixed plans offer predictable monthly costs
For Container Apps, we recommend starting with autoscaling enabled (it is the default). This allows your application to find its natural resource usage pattern. VPS Apps use fixed tiers only — choose a tier that meets the application’s minimum requirements.

​
FAQ

Container Apps with autoscaling adjust tiers automatically. Fixed-tier Container Apps and VPS Apps can be manually resized from the manage page. VPS disk cannot be shrunk when resizing down.
Yes, new customers receive free credit for their first 30 days to test the platform.
With autoscaling, we measure your resource usage hourly and charge the hourly rate of the resource tier your instance used during that hour. You can see exactly which tier was used each hour in your instance’s usage chart.
No, RepoCloud operates on a prepaid, pay-as-you-go model with no long-term contracts.
You purchase account credit through the Billing tab of your dashboard using a credit or debit card, where you can also enable Auto Recharge to top up your balance automatically.
