What does your stack really cost?

Count what you run, pick your servers and plan, and see the bill on Beep next to the same stack on Railway, Render, Fly.io, Vercel and Heroku, line by line.

How this is calculated.

  1. 01MemoryEach app takes 256 MB, each worker 128 MB, each cron job 64 MB while it runs, each Postgres database 512 MB, each Redis or Valkey 128 MB and each open preview 256 MB.
  2. 02ServersThe stack’s memory is divided by what each server can give it: its RAM minus 1 GB kept free for the system and the Beep agent. Round up for the fewest servers that fit, or set the count yourself.
  3. 03PlanThe cheapest Beep plan that covers those servers, your team and your open previews, billed monthly or yearly. Plans include 1 on Hobby, 5 on Developer, 15 on Team, and 50 on Business servers; Developer, Team, and Business can add more for $2 a month each. Pick a bigger plan and the total follows.
  4. 04BuildsDeploys a month times 5 minutes, against the plan’s Beep build minutes. Builds beyond the allowance can run on your own connected server, so the total adds nothing for them.
  5. 05TotalServers at the provider’s list price, paid to the provider directly, plus the Beep plan. Nothing is added per app, database, worker or preview.
  6. 06Other platformsEach platform’s published list prices and seat fees, checked October 2026. Every service gets at least the memory it has on your servers, so more or bigger servers are priced as bigger instances elsewhere; switch to the smallest per service for the lean view. The yearly figure is the monthly difference times twelve.

How accurate is this estimate?

It is a rough sizing, not a quote. It assumes 256 MB per app, 512 MB per database, 128 MB per worker and 256 MB per open preview, and keeps 1 GB free on every server. Beep plan prices are the published list prices; server and platform prices are each vendor’s list prices, checked October 2026.

Where do the other platforms’ prices come from?

Each platform’s published pricing, checked October 2026. Every app, worker, database and preview gets the cheapest always-on option with at least the memory it has on your servers, plus any seat fees; switch to the smallest per service if your services need less. Open a platform’s row to see each line. Usage beyond what a plan includes, such as bandwidth or extra CPU, is not counted on any platform.

Why doesn’t adding apps change Beep’s price?

Beep is billed per server, never per service. Apps, databases, workers and previews share the servers you already pay for, so the price only moves when the stack needs another server.
