Pricing and limits

What is billed for apps you build, how end-user seats work, where to see your hosting usage, and the quotas that apply to sites, processes and volumes.

Prices change. orkestia.dev/pricing is the only place with current numbers, and this page does not repeat them. Billing, pricing and seats explains the model.

What you pay for

PartHow it is charged
The organization's platform subscriptionPer organization; covers the console, API, MCP and catalog
Your team and AI actorsSeats (user and key seats)
People who sign in to your appEnd-user seat packs; they are your customers, not members
Running end-user workflowsThe organization's workflow-execution and request meters
LumenA separate add-on
Hosting on App Host (traffic, storage, process capacity)Not billed today. You can see what your sites use; see below

End-user seats

The cap is a hard login cap. Users over the cap can still register but cannot sign in, and they unlock when a new pack is added.

Hosting usage

Hosting is not billed today. The console still measures what your hosted sites use, so you can see it and plan ahead. Every hosting figure is labelled Not billed yet.

Cost Center → Hosting

In app.orkestia.dev, open Cost Center in the sidebar, then the Hosting tab.

SectionWhat it shows
Hosting this periodTotals for every hosted site in the organization over your subscription period
Day by dayDaily bars for edge requests and edge egress, plus reserved compute and volumes when they were measured
By siteOne row per site for the calendar month (UTC), with the biggest first. Click a site to open its page

The tiles and the table cover different periods (subscription period and calendar month), so their totals can differ.

What is measured

MeterWhat it counts
Edge requestsRequests to your site's hostnames
Edge egressData sent from those hostnames, in GiB
Site storageThe size of your published releases over time, in GiB-hours
Reserved CPU-hoursCPU reserved for launched processes, over time. This is the capacity you reserved, not what the process actually used
Reserved memory GiB-hoursMemory reserved for launched processes, over time
Volume GiB-hoursProcess volumes, over time
Hosted sitesHow many sites the organization has

Most meters also show an estimated cost in US dollars. It is for planning only, and nothing is charged.

  • Edge traffic is measured every hour, and site storage once a day. A new site's figures appear the day after you claim it.
  • A dash (—) or no data yet means the meter has not reported, which is not the same as zero.

One site

Each site's page (click the site in By site) has a Usage this month card with the same meters for that site alone and a chart of edge requests per day.

Traffic, errors, latency and uptime

The Traffic, errors and latency in Lumen button opens the Hosting dashboard in Lumen, which is a separate add-on. It shows, per site or hostname:

  • requests by status class, including 5xx errors;
  • edge latency;
  • uptime and latency from regular health probes;
  • days left on each hostname's certificate;
  • storage over time.

Quotas on App Host

As of 2026-10-19 the defaults are:

  • 32 sites per organization
  • 20 processes and 10 volumes per site

What is not priced yet

There is no separate subscription for hosted apps yet, and hosting usage is not charged. Machine sizes and App Data instance sizes are not sold as separate options.
