$0 / month + compute
A zero-baseline plan with pay-per-use compute and one free web service.
- 1 user
- One free web service instance
- Additional compute billed by the second
Koyeb
Web applications, APIs, workers, AI inference, and sandboxes across global serverless infrastructure.
Koyeb runs web applications, APIs, background workers, databases, and GPU-backed workloads on managed infrastructure. Applications can be deployed from container images or source and scaled according to their service configuration. Scale to Zero is a public preview for eligible Standard CPU/GPU services exposed to the internet, while automatic regional rerouting requires redundant instances or regions. Wake-up behavior can add cold-start latency.
Best for
Containerized APIs, web applications, background workers, managed PostgreSQL databases, and GPU-backed AI inference that need managed deployment and autoscaling.
Watch out for
Koyeb combines organization plans with separately billed compute, storage, databases, GPUs, bandwidth, and other resources. The free instance is restricted and unsuitable for production.

Infrastructure & Availability
Where workloads run, how deployment is scoped, and what underlying infrastructure the platform depends on.
Koyeb currently lists six active core regions: five Koyeb-operated locations and one AWS-hosted region. San Francisco is preview-only. Koyeb's separate global edge network routes incoming traffic to deployed core regions rather than serving as additional application deployment regions.

FAQ
Does the Koyeb Free Instance sleep?
Yes. The Koyeb Free Instance scales to zero after one hour without incoming traffic. You cannot disable scale-to-zero or change the idle period on the Free Instance.
Is Koyeb free?
Koyeb has a $0 Starter workspace plan and allows one free web-service instance per organization for testing and hobby projects. The free instance has resource and feature restrictions, and other compute or usage is billed separately.
Does Koyeb require a credit card for the free tier?
Yes. Koyeb currently requires a payment card for the Starter account path that includes the free web-service instance.
What are the Koyeb free instance limits?
Koyeb allows one free web-service instance per organization. The current free instance provides 0.1 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, and 2 GB SSD, and it has restrictions on features such as workers, scaling, and volumes.
How much does Koyeb cost?
Koyeb combines workspace-plan fees with per-second compute and metered usage. The current plans are Starter at $0 per month plus compute, Pro at $29 per month plus compute, and Scale at $299 per month plus compute.
Does Koyeb offer managed Postgres?
Yes. Koyeb Database Services provide managed PostgreSQL databases, separate from ordinary application instances. The platform also records PostgreSQL as a supported database technology.
Is Koyeb good for Docker hosting?
Koyeb directly supports deploying prebuilt Docker and OCI images, so containerized web services and APIs are a first-class deployment path. Fit still depends on Koyeb’s instance sizes, scaling model, regions, and service limits.
