App Platform Billing

Last updated June 11, 2026

Hostman App Platform supports several application types, and the billing model depends on the type of application you deploy.

For all application types, charges are applied hourly. 

Frontend Application Billing

Frontend applications use a usage-based billing model: you pay only for the resources actually consumed.

All incoming HTTP requests to the application are billed, including requests for static assets such as stylesheets, scripts, images, and other resources. The request type and HTTP method do not affect billing.

Pricing is $5.50 per 1,000,000 requests (equivalent to $0.055 per 10,000 requests).

Each application is allocated 2 GB of NVMe storage, billed at an additional $0.10 per month.

Request Limit

To prevent overspending, you can set a limit on the number of incoming requests. Once the limit is reached, the application is stopped and billing is halted.

To set a limit:

  1. Go to the App Platform section and select the required application.
  2. Open the Settings tab.
  3. Click Set limit in the Incoming request limits section.
  4. Enable the request limit and specify the maximum number of incoming requests.
  5. Click Save.

  • last 6 hours

Backend and Docker Application Billing

Backend applications and applications deployed via Dockerfile, Docker Compose, or a Docker Hub image are always hosted on a cloud server.

When deploying such an application, you select a server configuration in the dashboard, and the cost of that configuration is displayed immediately. Billing is based solely on the selected server, no additional usage-based charges apply.

You can upgrade the server configuration to a higher tier at any time. Downgrading to a lower configuration is not possible.
