How Pro pricing is built

Every Pro plan is the same simple sum. We don't mark up the hardware percentage-wise — just a small flat fee for running the managed stack on it.

1
VPS cost

The exact monthly price the server costs at Hetzner — passed straight through.

2
ichibase fee

A small flat service fee for the managed Postgres/Mongo/auth/storage/functions stack + backups.

3
+ Tax at checkout

VAT / sales tax is added by our payment provider based on your country (e.g. 19% DE, 20% TR, 0% with a valid EU VAT ID).

Why ichibase over usage-metered clouds

Supabase, Firebase, and MongoDB Atlas are great — but they bill by usage, and that means your cost scales with your success in ways you can't predict.

our stance

Why we refuse pay-as-you-go

Metered pricing optimises the vendor's revenue, not your sleep. We deliberately don't do it.

No fear of success

A front-page spike or a viral launch shouldn't arrive with a four-figure bill. Your price is the same on your best day as your worst.

You can budget

You know next month's cost today — one number, not a spreadsheet of per-read, per-write, per-GB-egress rates.

Aligned incentives

We don't earn more when your app is chatty or inefficient. We earn the same flat fee, so we'd rather it just run well.

You own the box

Pro runs on your own VPS with standard Postgres/Mongo. Export your data, or take the whole server, whenever you want. No lock-in.

Predictable backend, predictable bill.

Start free in a minute, upgrade to a dedicated VPS when you're ready.
