Vercel pricing examples

Vercel offers a mixed billing model: you subscribe to a specific plan and then pay for any resources you consume each month.

There are three plans available, including a free tier available which is generous enough to host smaller projects:

  • Hobby: $0/mo
  • Pro: $20/user/mo
  • Enterprise: custom pricing

In addition to that, you pay for the resources you consume each month (eg. bandwidth, serverless functions, image optimizations).

Below are some example configurations and their estimated costs:

Example configuration Estimated cost
Managed PostgreSQL $151.38 / mo 1440h compute, 50 GB storage, 10 GB read/mo 5 GB write/mo
Managed Redisยฎ* $90.72 / mo 10 req/s @ $0.35 per 100k reqs
