Render pricing.
prices as of · 17 plans · 14 sized instances
You push a repository or an image and the platform builds it, runs it and keeps it running. There is no operating system to look after and no root, which is the point: the container is replaced rather than repaired. What you size is memory and a share of a processor.
Render publishes 17 prices, from $7/mo for 0.5c-512mb · 0.5 vCPU · 512 MB, with a tier that costs nothing above it, read 17 Sept 2026.

What the monthly price includes
14 of Render's 17 prices buy a runtime of a stated size. The price buys a runtime of a stated size for a month, so two of them compare on memory, processor and money. The other 3 buy a subscription, with the compute metered on top. None of its plans includes a disk in the price, and 14 state that none is included. Its largest instance is 8c-64g · 8 vCPU · 64 GB, 8 vCPU · 64 GB RAM at $1,000/mo. It lists 5 regions: Frankfurt, DE, Ohio, US, Oregon, US, Singapore, SG, Virginia, US. Tax is extra.

What the invoice adds
The rates Render charges for what a plan price does not cover. A rate that is not published is not a rate of zero, and none of these is folded into the monthly figures above.
- Outbound transfer
- $0.15 per GB
- every gigabyte you serve past the allowance
- Build minute
- $0.0050 per minute
- one minute of CI past the allowance
- Extra member
- not published

Build minutes are the standard pipeline; the performance pipeline costs five times as much. Render charges nothing per seat.
Everything Render charges
Cheapest by the month first. A subscription row is tagged, because its price buys an account rather than a server.
