Billing & Resource Usage
Hubfly space uses a transparent pay-as-you-go billing model based on granular resource consumption (vCPU, RAM, and Storage per hour) alongside a generous monthly Free Tier allocation.
Free Tier Allocation
Every Hubfly space user account includes a monthly recurring Free Tier allotment:
360 Compute Hours
Equivalent to running a standard Shared Tier container continuously for 15 full days or multiple containers on demand.
1 GB NVMe Storage
1 GB of high-speed persistent NVMe volume storage for your databases, uploads, or stateful containers.
Zero Multiplier
Shared tier workloads receive a 0x price multiplier during free tier allocation.
Resource Pricing Matrix
Beyond the free tier, compute resources are billed per second at hourly base rates:
| Resource | Base Unit Cost (USD) | Measurement Unit |
|---|---|---|
vCPU | $0.004 / hr | Per vCPU allocated per hour |
RAM | $0.002 / hr | Per GB RAM allocated per hour |
NVMe Storage | $0.00001536 / hr | Per GB storage allocated per hour |
Storage Performance Tier Multipliers
| Storage Tier | Multiplier | Target Workloads |
|---|---|---|
standard | 1.0x | General application data, static assets, temp files. |
balanced | 1.5x | Production SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL). |
high_performance | 2.0x | High-IOPS real-time analytics, vector DBs, cache nodes. |
Auto-Sleep & Usage Savings
Shared Tier containers automatically enter Auto-Sleep mode after periods of inactivity. While a container is sleeping, compute billing stops completely—you only pay for attached persistent storage.
