Billing
Droplet bills per application through Paystack. A plan must be paid before the application is provisioned.
Plans
| Plan | Price | Included credit | Compute |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | ₦3,000 / month | ₦3,000 for the first application, valid 30 days | Pages for frontend/full-stack apps |
| Standard | ₦5,000 / month | Same ₦3,000 first-application credit | Pages or Workers, depending on the repository |
First payment and activation
- Create or import the application and select a plan.
- Continue to Paystack checkout using the billing email on the account.
- The ₦3,000 credit is applied to the first application payment. The amount due is ₦0 on Starter or ₦2,000 on Standard.
- After Paystack confirms payment, Droplet provisions the application and starts its first deployment.
Paystack may show a temporary ₦50 card verification charge when a card authorization is saved. That verification amount is refunded after authorization.
Recurring billing
The successful first payment authorizes recurring monthly billing. The next payment date and current subscription status are shown in the application's Billing settings. Subscription states include pending, trialing, active, failed, cancelled, and expired.
Payment methods and permissions
- Up to three active payment methods can be saved per application.
- One payment method can be marked primary for billing.
- The application owner, administrators, and billing-role members can manage billing.
- Billing profile and billing-address editing are not currently available.
- Changing plans while an active subscription exists is not currently available.
Failed, cancelled, or expired subscriptions do not provide active paid entitlements. Contact support if a payment succeeded but the application has not been provisioned.
