@DEOGEE you pay the $5/month subscription and get $5 of usage. Then you pay any resource usage over that.

On average how much does the usage cost @MantisInABox

I mean if i use the server for a whole month , what does the average pricing look like

depends on your resource usage

my directus instance for example costs me around 3-5 usd in a month, this includes a CMS panel and API

and a postgresql DB

It all depends on the language ur using and what ur doing, for example, there's a guy on the Trial plan here, he deployed a Go server that uses 16mb of ram, it will run for free for the next 2 years.

Thats a pretty good deal honestly

Wait why will it be free for the next 2 years for him

Btw i'm hosting the server for my project -> shortsauto.ai

The server generates videos so theres a lot going on but no database

I think it'll be cheaper than the $25 that i pay with render

It's also the fact that i'm only getting 2gb ram for the $25 which is ridiculous. I guess i'll be switching to railway then

Thank you all @MantisInABox @Medim

please note that if you used the full 8GB of ram 24/7 it would become very expensive

5usd free trial, his application uses so little that it will take 2 years to deplete all of those 5usd

You can look at your resource stats on render, and then match the average against the pricing calculator at http://railway.app/pricing to get an estimate

also, remember to use internal networking to communicate between your services in railway

Is there a way to schedule the server to shut down when i hit a particular usage/price

or maybe get a notification when i hit a price point

You can set app sleeping so it scales to zero when not in use (good money saver), but you can also set usage limits

That's actually smart , i'll definately do that , thanks.

The usage limits is perfect . I'll look into that . Thank you! When the app is asleep does railway have to rebuild the project everytime someone access the server ? That would make it slower right ? but save money of course

It does not rebuild when someone accesses it, but it will still have the cold start time, so it might be a tad bit slow on initial request after sleep

Got it! I'll test both. Thank you soo much

No problem
