Plans & Usage
Understand organization plans, pricing, resource limits, and usage tracking
Every organization in Rock8Cloud is on a plan that determines how many resources it can use and is billed via Stripe. You can view your current plan, manage your subscription, and check usage on the Settings > Billing page.
Available Plans
| Pluto | Mercury | Earth | Neptune | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Price | €3/mo | €12/mo | €49/mo | €499/mo |
| Annual Price | €36/yr (€3/mo) | €120/yr (€10/mo) | €528/yr (€44/mo) | €5,388/yr (€449/mo) |
| Active Cubes | 1 | 3 | 12 | 40 |
| CPU per Cube | 250m | 400m | 500m | 1500m |
| Memory per Cube | 256 Mi | 426 Mi | 512 Mi | 1536 Mi |
| Replicas per Cube | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Build Minutes (per period) | 30 | 100 | 1,000 | 5,000 |
| AI Budget (per period) | none | €3 | €20 | €200 |
| Custom Domains | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Object Storage | 1 GB | 5 GB | 25 GB | 100 GB |
- Active Cubes - the number of running service environments (each service branch or preview counts as one cube)
- CPU / Memory per Cube - the compute resources each cube gets. A cube is one running instance of your app: a dedicated container with its own CPU, memory, and network
- Replicas per Cube - how many copies of a cube can run behind the same URL
- Build Minutes - total time spent building container images from your Dockerfiles
- AI Budget - what you can spend on AI features per period, see AI budget and spend
- Custom Domains - domains you can attach across the organization
- Object Storage - total capacity across all S3 buckets in the organization
All plans include a free trial. No payment information is required upfront.
New organizations automatically start on the Mercury plan with a free trial.
Free Trial
When you create a new organization, you get a free trial on the Mercury plan. During the trial:
- All Mercury plan features are available
- No payment method is required
- You can upgrade to a higher plan at any time
After the trial ends, you'll need to add a payment method to continue using Rock8Cloud. If you don't subscribe, your organization enters read-only mode.
Subscription Management
Go to Settings > Billing to manage your subscription:
- Subscribe - Choose a plan and complete checkout via Stripe
- Switch Plans - Upgrade or downgrade between Pluto, Mercury, Earth, and Neptune
- Manage Billing - Access the Stripe billing portal to update payment methods, view invoices, or cancel
- Monthly/Annual Toggle - Save 10% with annual billing
Upgrading
You can upgrade at any time. The new limits take effect immediately. Stripe prorates the charge for the remaining billing period. Your usage counters (build minutes, AI spend) are preserved.
Downgrading
When downgrading, ensure your current resource usage fits within the new plan's limits. For example, if you have 5 active cubes, you cannot switch to the Mercury plan (3 cube limit) until you remove services.
Read-Only Mode
When your subscription is canceled or expired, your organization enters read-only mode:
- You can view dashboards, logs, and configurations
- You cannot deploy, build, create services, or run AI agents
- A warning banner appears on the billing page and in the navigation
To exit read-only mode, subscribe to any plan from the billing page.
AI Budget and Spend
AI features are metered in euros, not in runs. Every code review, code analysis, agent session, and custom agent run charges what the underlying model actually cost against your plan's included budget for the period.
Open Settings > AI to see:
- Enable AI Features - the master switch for the organization. Off means no AI feature runs at all
- Budget - spend against the included budget for this period, with the reset date
- Spend breakdown - over time, by model, by feature, and by project, for the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days
When the included budget runs out, use Top up AI budget on the Billing page. €1 buys €1 of AI usage, from €5 up to €10,000 per purchase. Top-up balance never expires and is only spent after the included budget for the period is gone.
Pluto has no included AI budget. Buy a top-up or move to a higher plan to use AI features on it.
Usage Period
Usage counters (build minutes, AI spend) reset automatically every 30 days. The reset date is shown on the Billing page. Cube count, custom domains, and storage are always live - they reflect what currently exists, not a cumulative counter.
What Happens When You Hit a Limit
When a limit is reached:
- Cube limit - you cannot deploy new services or create new preview environments. A warning banner appears in the deployment panel. Existing services continue to run normally.
- Build minutes - new builds are rejected. Redeployments of already-built images still work.
- AI budget - AI code review, code analysis, and agents stop starting new runs until the period resets or you buy a top-up. Runs already in flight finish.
- Object storage - you cannot create a new bucket or raise a bucket's cap beyond what is left of the quota.
A badge on the dashboard shows which limits are exhausted, with a link to the Billing page.
Enterprise
For organizations with requirements beyond the Neptune plan, contact us about our Enterprise tier with unlimited resources and custom support. Enterprise plans are managed separately from the self-service billing system.
