Plans are the resource tiers your services run on. Every plan defines CPU, RAM, and storage limits plus an hourly price, and each plan belongs to a platform — the runtime your service will use. The Plans page is public, so you can compare options and calculate cost before you even sign in; the Create service button on any card starts the wizard as soon as you are authenticated.

The page layout
The header card carries the page title Plans, the subtitle "Select a plan and create a deployment", and two actions: Refresh reloads the catalog, and Services jumps to your existing services. Below it, the results area is split into a filter sidebar on the left (a bottom-sheet drawer on mobile) and the plan grid on the right.
The filter sidebar has two tabs that classify the catalog automatically:
:::tabs
=== Apps (n)
Application runtimes — Node.js, React, Django, Flask, Laravel, Go, and everything that is not a data service.
=== Databases (n)
Data services such as PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, and similar platforms.
:::
Under the gradient Platforms heading you can filter to one or more platforms with toggle buttons showing each platform's badge. Select all, Deselect, and Clear manage the selection in one click. On mobile, the Filters button (with a count of active filters) opens the drawer, and your chosen platforms appear as removable chips above the results.
Reading a plan card
Each card shows everything you need to make a decision at a glance.
| Card element | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Platform badge + name | The runtime the plan deploys on |
| Plan name and type line | e.g. shared · ssd — plan tier and storage type |
| CPU / RAM / Storage rows | The resource limits of the tier |
| Hourly price | e.g. $0.018/hr — what the plan costs while a service runs on it |
| Monthly estimate | ≈ $13.1/mo — the hourly rate times 730, for orientation |
| Create service button | Starts the deployment wizard with this plan pre-selected |
:::tip
You are billed for what runs. Stopping a service from the services list stops the meter — a stopped service does not consume plan resources or cost.

Browsing and filtering results
The results header shows Filtered plans or All plans with a live count. Results grow with infinite scrolling; on the unfiltered view a manual Load more plans button appears as a fallback. While pages load, skeleton placeholders keep the layout stable.
If nothing matches, the empty state explains the situation and offers two ways out: Clear filters resets the platform selection, and Refresh reloads the catalog in case new plans were published.
:::steps
• Pick the tab
Choose Apps or Databases depending on what you are deploying.
• Narrow by platform
Toggle one or more platform buttons — the grid updates immediately.
• Compare cards
Read the spec rows and the two-line price block to find the right tier.
• Start the wizard
Press Create service on the winning card and continue with [create-service.md](create-service.md).
