How do I know upfront what hosting will cost per month?

On the Website and App plans the answer is one number: € 10 or € 15 a month, no VAT added, with the domain, email forwarding, SSL, backups and monitoring inside that number. There is no traffic bill, no build-minute bill and no surprise. On the Platform plan you pay for what you use, and there a spending cap you set yourself (default € 50 a month) is the ceiling.

Website€ 10only add-ons you switch on yourself: an extra domain (€ 1, or € 2 for a premium extension)
App€ 15"Always on" for € 9 if you want no cold starts; an extra domain as above
Platform€ 10 baseusage at the rates on /rates, never above the cap you set (default € 50, up to € 250)
Trial€ 0 for 14 daysnothing; the trial ends by itself if you do nothing

Two things keep the App plan predictable: traffic is included up to 10 GB a month and the database up to 1 GB, and we do not charge per request or per build. Reach a limit and you get an email with what to do; nothing is added to the invoice on its own.

On Platform every building block shows a cost card before you switch it on: the meters, the rate, the minimum per month and an example. At 80% of your cap you get an email; at 100% your containers pause until you raise the cap. Every day is a line in your portal with a CSV export, and you get an email with the exact amount at least one day before every direct debit.

Prices are also machine-readable, if you want a script or an agent to check them:

Domain prices per extension are on the domains page; a premium extension costs only the difference above what the plan covers, shown before you choose.

Not for

Anyone who needs a fixed price for a large workload: on Platform the bill follows usage, and the cap protects you from a runaway, not from a busy month. Not for VAT-registered businesses expecting to reclaim VAT; we charge none, so there is nothing to reclaim.
