Frequently asked
- What kind of platform is Render?
- App platform: it takes your code or an image and runs a container of it for you. 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.
- What is the cheapest Render plan?
- 0.5c-512mb · 0.5 vCPU · 512 MB at $7/mo, which is 0.5 vCPU · 512 MB RAM, and it stays on. There is also a tier that costs nothing: Free web service, which stops the app when nothing calls it. Checked 1 Nov 2026.
- Does Render stop your app when nothing calls it?
- On 1 of its 17 plans, yes: the app is stopped while idle and the next request waits for it to start again. The other 13 it states stay on.
