Pricing Tiers
Detailed information on RepoCloud’s pricing tiers and resource specifications
Resource Tiers Overview
RepoCloud offers flexible resource tiers designed to accommodate a wide range of applications and workloads. Each tier provides a balanced combination of CPU, RAM, and storage resources at a fraction of the cost of major cloud providers.

Choosing the Right Tier
When selecting a resource tier, consider these factors:
Application Requirements
Different applications have different resource needs:
Traffic Patterns
Consider your expected traffic patterns:
- Low Traffic (< 10,000 visits/month): Tier 1-2
- Medium Traffic (10,000-50,000 visits/month): Tier 3-4
- High Traffic (50,000-200,000 visits/month): Tier 5-6
- Very High Traffic (200,000+ visits/month): Tier 6-7
Data Processing Needs
Different data workloads require different resources:
- Basic Data Storage: Tier 1-3
- Data Analysis: Tier 4-5
- Large Datasets: Tier 5-7
- Real-time Processing: Tier 5-7
Scaling Between Tiers
RepoCloud makes it easy to scale your resources as your needs change:
Upgrading Resources
Navigate to Instance Settings
Go to your application’s management page
Access Scaling Options
Click on the “Scale” tab
Select New Tier
Choose your desired resource tier from the available options
Apply Changes
Click “Apply Changes” to update your instance resources
Most scaling operations occur without downtime or with minimal interruption. Your data and configuration remain intact when scaling between tiers.
Downgrading Resources
You can also downgrade to a lower tier if you find you’ve over-provisioned:
Check Resource Usage
Monitor your actual resource usage to determine an appropriate tier
Navigate to Instance Settings
Go to your application’s management page
Access Scaling Options
Click on the “Scale” tab
Select Lower Tier
Choose a lower resource tier
Apply Changes
Click “Apply Changes” to update your instance resources
Before downgrading, ensure your application can operate properly with fewer resources. Downgrading to a tier with insufficient resources may cause performance issues or application failures.
Autoscaling vs. Fixed Tiers
RepoCloud offers two approaches to resource allocation:
Fixed Tiers
- Predictable Costs: Fixed monthly pricing based on the selected tier
- Guaranteed Resources: Consistent resource allocation regardless of usage
- Simplicity: No need to monitor or manage scaling
- Best For: Applications with consistent resource needs
Elastic Autoscaling
- Cost Efficiency: Pay only for resources actually used
- Dynamic Adjustment: Resources scale up and down based on actual needs
- Optimal Performance: Automatically handles traffic spikes
- Best For: Applications with variable resource needs
For most users, we recommend starting with autoscaling enabled. This allows your application to find its natural resource usage pattern, and you can switch to a fixed tier later if desired.
Additional Resources
Beyond the base resource tiers, you can also add:
- Additional NVMe SSD storage: $0.10 per GB per month
- Data Transfer In: $0 per GB (free)
- Data Transfer Out: $0.10 per GB
