Both tiers bill by the hour against a prepaid organization balance, drawn down in credits.

Hosted machine types carry a published rate. A community node is priced by the operator running it, so rates for the same card vary by machine and by country.

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Plan figures take each provider's closest match to a common setup. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
