Hidden costs to watch for	Machine prices vary by region -- the reference/base rates in this dataset are for the Amsterdam (ams) region; several regions carry a price premium Extra RAM beyond a preset's base allocation is billed separately (~$5 per 30 days per additional GB, prorated per-second) Stopped Machines still incur a rootfs storage charge of $0.15/GB per month Volume snapshots are billed at $0.08/GB per month above the first 10GB free per month Dedicated (non-shared) egress IPs are billed hourly (~$0.005/hr, ~$3.60/mo) in addition to the free shared IPv4 Cross-region private networking traffic is billed per GB and varies sharply by region group (Africa/India up to $0.12/GB egress) Wildcard/extra SSL certificates beyond the first 10 free per org are billed monthly	Usage above the plan's included credit is billed per-second at metered CPU/RAM/volume rates and can exceed the flat subscription fee quickly under load Network egress billed separately at $0.05/GB Pro plan is priced per-seat ($20/seat/month), so team cost scales with headcount on top of usage Business Class (priority) support is a paid add-on on the Pro plan
