Do I need to have an account on a cloud provider to use Wodby?

You can connect your own managed Kubernetes provider or a dedicated server with K3S. Alternatively, you can use Wodby Cloud when you do not want the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Can I use Wodby with a dedicated server?

Yes. Wodby supports dedicated servers by installing a lightweight Kubernetes distribution like K3S.

I couldn't find my specific application stack, how do I start?

Start with the closest pre-configured stack and customize it, or build a stack from managed services. You can also contact Wodby to request a new stack.

Will I be vendor locked-in to Wodby?

No. Wodby is built on open standards like Kubernetes. You can disconnect your cluster and keep running your apps, but Wodby-managed tasks stop.

I have a small website (PHP, MySQL). How much would it cost? What if I deploy 10 of them?

Pricing is based on total app services. One site with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL is 3 services and falls under the $48/month minimum tier. Ten such sites total 30 services and cost $60/month. Extra CI/CD minutes and registry storage are billed separately.

Simple pricing for self-hosted and managed Kubernetes

Pricing built around the services you actually run.

Start free for development, move to usage-based pricing for production, and add managed cloud capacity only when you need it.

Billing explained

An app service is a single running service in your stack.

Every enabled non-paused service in your stack counts toward billing, including web servers, runtimes, databases, and background workers.

Example

Node.js + Redis + PostgreSQL = 3 billable app services.

Learn more about available services and how they fit into your stack architecture.

Add-ons

Extend the platform only where you need extra capacity.

Optional services follow the same model as the main plans: low-friction defaults, clear unit pricing, and no extra bundles.

Transparent costs

Stop overpaying for hidden PaaS infrastructure costs.

Wodby keeps its service pricing separate from compute, so you can see what you pay for the platform itself and what you pay for infrastructure capacity.

No bundled infrastructure markup

Your Wodby bill stays focused on the platform itself, not on hidden compute margins.

That makes costs easier to understand, easier to explain, and easier to optimize over time.

Pause what you do not use

Coming soon

A paused app instance keeps its deployment setup and configuration, but app service charges stop and the compute resources it used are freed. When needed, you can unpause it quickly without redeploying or reconfiguring everything.

Optimize further with K3s

Run many apps on a powerful dedicated server with K3s when cost efficiency matters more than managed cluster convenience.

Wodby Cloud

Hosted cluster capacity without bringing your own infrastructure.

Deploy to Wodby Cloud and pay-as-you-go with compute credits when you do not want the cluster in your own cloud account or on your own server. Rates are based on cluster base cost, CPU, RAM, and persistent storage.

See what our customers say about their experience with Wodby.

We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.

Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
