# Pricing


Zerops provides a straightforward pricing structure based on your project type and resource usage.

The total cost of deploying an application includes your project's **core package cost** + the **cost of the resources** of the services inside a project. Additional charges may apply for optional features such as dedicated IPv4, extra egress, object storage, extra backup space and extra build time.

:::note Fair Billing Model
Resources are allocated per service and billed by the minute, though credit is deducted hourly based on actual usage. You're only charged for what you use, calculated down to the minute.

## Project Core Plans

Zerops offers two core types to match different needs and budgets. For detailed information on both core types, visit our [Project & Services Structure](/features/infrastructure) page.

### Lightweight Core - Free
Best for development, testing, and smaller workloads with limited redundancy.

**Included resources:**
- **Build Time**: 15 hours per month
- **Backup Storage**: 5 GB
- **Egress Traffic**: 100 GB per month

### Serious Core - $10 / 30 days
Optimized for production workloads with high availability and comprehensive failover protection.

**Included resources:**
- **Build Time**: 150 hours per month
- **Backup Storage**: 25 GB
- **Egress Traffic**: 3 TB per month

:::note Storage Limits
All projects have a technical maximum backup storage limit of **1 TiB**. Usage beyond the free tier allocation (5GB or 25GB) is billed according to the [overage costs](#overage-costs) below.

## Resource Pricing

Services in Zerops require computing resources that are billed separately from your project core. These resources are allocated per service and billed by the minute based on actual usage, with credits deducted hourly.

:::note Daily Spending Control
You can set daily spending limits in GUI for your project to control costs and avoid unexpected charges. This provides an alternative to configuring automatic resource scaling ranges while keeping your services running optimally.

## Additional Services

Enhance your deployment with these optional services to meet specific requirements for networking, storage, and data transfer.
