Questions
Contact usWhat’s included in the free Sandbox?
Up to $20 a month of free resources on Northflank Cloud, across 2 services, 2 jobs, and 1 database. You can also connect one BYOC cluster and use up to 12 vCPU and 48 GB of memory on it; your cloud provider still bills you for that infrastructure.
Do you charge per seat?
No. Every plan includes unlimited users, deployments, and workloads. You only pay for the compute you run.
How is bring your own cloud billed?
Northflank bills only for the vCPU on the nodes it manages in your cluster, by the second. Your cloud provider bills the infrastructure directly, so your existing credits and commitments still apply.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Payments are handled by Stripe and we accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
How does consumption based pricing work?
You’ll be billed at the end of your monthly billing cycle based on your configured resources and instances, prorated to the second of usage. Read our terms of service for more details. Estimates are exclusive of VAT and GST.
Will taxes be included in my monthly invoice?
We’re required by law to collect taxes in some countries.
Am I charged when I enter my credit card?
No — when you enter a card we only verify the card. Your card is only charged at the end of the billing cycle.
What currency will I be charged in?
You will be charged in US dollars.
