Pricing

Simple pricing. The hard parts included

Start free for 15 days. Then pay per app — $15 a month while it is still your own, $49 once real people depend on it. Deploys, backups, monitoring and security are in both, along with a matching allowance of monthly usage. Working with other people is $25 a month for the organization, however many of you there are.

Is the free trial really free?

Yes — 15 days on the full platform, no credit card needed to start. It’s one 15-day trial per account, shared by up to 3 apps you build in it, and you can move to a paid plan whenever you’re ready.

What counts as an “app”?

One deployed application — its own web address, database and environments. You pay per app you run: $15 a month on Hobby, $49 on Pro. Working with other people is separate and priced per organization — $25 a month for Team, however many of you there are.

What’s the difference between Hobby and Pro?

Hobby runs a real production app on a softkiln.com address — deploys, backups, secrets, monitoring and a status page. Pro is for apps other people depend on: it puts the app and its status page on your own domain, adds priority support, and private EU language models. The rule of thumb is the moment a client, a customer or an auditor is looking at it, you want Pro. Sharing access with colleagues is not part of it — that is Team, on the organization.

How do I add other people?

Team, at $25 a month for the whole organization — no per-seat cost and no minimum. Everyone you add can be given access per app, so a client sees only their own. It sits alongside the per-app price rather than replacing it: three Hobby apps and two colleagues is $45 for the apps and $25 for the organization.

What happens if I go past the included usage?

Your monthly price for an app includes the same amount of usage — $15 on Hobby, $49 on Pro — covering compute, storage, bandwidth and backup storage. Most apps never reach it. If one does, you pay only for what it uses above the allowance, at cost. Your dashboard shows the running total and a per-resource breakdown at any time, so it’s never a surprise on the invoice.

What is automatic penetration testing?

Continuous, automated security review on every deploy — OWASP Top-10 checks and dependency issues — returned as fix-ready findings. It is in progress and ships to Pro when it lands. What runs today is automatic secret scanning, which blocks a deploy that would expose credentials, and that is on every plan.

Do the prices include VAT?

No — the prices above are exclusive of VAT. If your billing address is in Norway, 25% MVA is added and shown as its own line on the invoice, so $15 is billed as $18.75. Anywhere else, no VAT is added and the listed price is what you pay.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plans are monthly with no lock-in — cancel whenever and you won’t be billed again.

Do I need a technical person?

No. Running the technical side is the product.
