Keep my content
USD 0.15 / GB / month
Paid ahead based on the pod's disk size. It keeps content during an empty-balance stop for the paid period. It does not keep the app online.
Use what your app needs.
An hour, a day, a week or longer. Add credits and start your pod. Running time is counted by the minute, with daily, weekly and monthly caps.
Every pod size
Your app, backend and database share the capacity you choose. These caps cover the running pod, not separately paid options.

Displayed hourly rates are rounded to the cent. Billing uses accumulated running time and catalogue caps, not a multiplication of the rounded hourly figure. Launch rates are under validation.
Backups
USD 0.10 / GB / month
Separate from disk retention. Designed for nightly backups with 14-day retention; restore tests must pass in the pilot before launch.
What your app gets
An HTTPS URL on apps.appcities.run. You can also connect a domain you already own. No domain name is supplied or sold.
Stopping a pod takes the app offline, but retained storage can still cost money. At zero credits, content is deleted unless Keep my content covers the period. Read these rules before storing important data.

How do credits work?
Add prepaid credits before running a pod. Usage is metered by the minute with hourly, daily, weekly and monthly caps. The dashboard shows the current prices. Capacity changes and paid options require your approval; an AI must not approve spending on your behalf.
Are data retention and backups included?
They are separate paid options. At zero credits, the pod stops and its content is deleted unless Keep my content is paid. A running database volume is not a backup. Review retention and backup settings before storing important data.
