Sign up How it works

€5

A month for your static sites. A pod, with its databases, is €15 a month. Flat prices: no credits, no usage to watch. Pricing details

  • Static sites

    From a zip or the CLI. Your domains and HTTPS.

  • Pods

    A dedicated virtual server for your app. Deploy from a Dockerfile, an image, or the CLI.

  • Databases

    On your pod, at no extra cost.

From a push to running

One command, or one upload, and it is live.

  1. 1

    Bring your code

    A zip of your static site, a Dockerfile, or an image you already built. Or push from the CLI, on your machine or in CI.

  2. 2

    Add a database, if you need one

    It runs on your pod, next to your app, and costs nothing extra.

  3. 3

    Attach a domain

    HTTPS is included. Manage environment variables in the dashboard.

How a deploy works

No surprise bills

Fewer moving parts, so fewer ways for a bill to grow.

  • Flat monthly prices

    €5 for static sites, €15 for a pod. Nothing is metered.

  • Start and stop freely

    One day or thirty, one restart or ten: the month costs the same.

  • No overage charges

    Outgrow your static sites plan, and we invite you to upgrade. We never bill you for it on our own.

Where it runs

Made for humans. Agents are welcome.

Use the dashboard, the CLI, or the API. Deploy from CI with your own rules, or let an agent run the boring parts.

  • Dashboard
  • CLI
  • API

A few things, done well. What we leave out:

  • no AI features
  • no serverless workers
  • no edge network
  • no analytics
  • no Kubernetes
  • no add-on marketplace

Compare with Heroku, Vercel, and Cloudflare

Questions

What does it cost?

Static sites are €5 a month, for 1 GB of storage and 100 GB of egress. A pod is €15 a month, with its databases included; for more vCPU, RAM, or storage, email us. Prices exclude VAT.

Who is PodBy for?

Businesses and individuals, anywhere. EU businesses add their VAT ID when they sign up.

Is my data backed up?

Yes. Pods are backed up automatically, databases included, with two daily and three weekly restore points. How to restore a backup.

How do databases work?

You add PostgreSQL or MySQL to a pod. The database shares the pod's CPU, RAM, and storage, so it adds nothing to the price.

How do I get help?

By email at help@podby.com or, once you are a paying customer, on Signal. A person replies within 24 hours, during business hours.
