Running sandboxes are billed per second, including idle time. A successful pause stops compute charges; Persistent Volumes storage is billed separately.

Monthly prices assume 730 hours of running time. You pay per second.

Common questions about Lizard pricing

Pro costs $19 a month and includes $19 of usage for the whole platform: apps, databases, Sandboxes, storage and egress. Pro 5x ($99) and Pro 20x ($499) work the same way, include $99 and $499 of usage, and raise the sandbox limits. Beyond the included usage, pay as you go at the rates above. Enterprise is pay as you go, invoiced monthly, and billing follows your contract.

You pay for what runs, not for a box you reserve. The plan covers the first $19 of usage each month. Past that, each resource costs the rate above, metered per second. This suits side projects, tests and workloads that change over time.

Yes. Pro starts with a 7-day trial that includes $5 of usage. You need a card to start it, but we charge nothing during the 7 days, and you can cancel before the trial ends. If you keep Pro, we charge $19 when the trial ends and then each month.

Running apps, databases and Sandboxes pause, and you cannot create new ones. We keep your data. To keep going, start Pro now: the trial ends and we charge $19.

Apps and databases use the per-GB egress rate shown above, which counts toward the $19 of included usage. Sandbox egress has no separate per-GB charge; the included allowance is 2 TB per account over a rolling 30 days. Incoming traffic is free, and there is no per-request fee.

An idle app can still use CPU and memory, so it can still cost money. Stopping it stops its compute usage. Persistent Volumes and Managed Object Storage continue to accrue storage charges while you keep data, even when the app is stopped.

You pay for the extra usage at the rates above, on top of the $19. We charge it to your card automatically as it builds up. The Usage page shows what you have spent so far this month.

Pro is $19 a month with $19 of usage included and no seat fees. Compare the same app and database using measured CPU, memory, storage and egress. Include each provider’s plan fees, included usage, payment fees and other charges. A lower unit rate alone does not establish which provider costs less for your workload.

Yes. In Billing you can move to a higher Pro tier at any time: we charge the prorated difference at once, and your included usage and limits rise right away. A move to a lower tier starts with your next billing period. Only Pro has a free trial; Pro 5x and Pro 20x are paid from day one.

No. Inviting team members does not add a seat fee. Their usage counts toward the workspace owner’s plan.

They use the same CPU, memory and storage rates as other resources and count toward the $19 of included usage. There is no separate subscription for the database. A running database can use memory and storage even when it has no requests.

Sandboxes come in three sizes, priced per hour and billed per second while they run, including idle time: Small (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) at $0.0162/hour, Medium (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) at $0.0324/hour, and Large (8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM) at $0.0648/hour. Medium is the default. CPU and memory are included, and so is sandbox egress up to 2 TB per account over a rolling 30 days; Persistent Volumes cost extra. A successful pause stops compute charges; Persistent Volumes storage continues to be billed.

Limits count vCPU of running sandboxes, not sandboxes: Small uses 2 vCPU, Medium 4 and Large 8. Pro runs up to 40 vCPU at once, Pro 5x up to 220 and Pro 20x up to 1,200. During the free trial you can run up to 4 Small Sandboxes (8 vCPU), Small only; Medium and Large start after your first payment. Limits count across all your workspaces, and paused sandboxes hold no vCPU. For more, contact us about Enterprise.
