Fly.io Pricing in 2026: The Real 30-Day Bill
Fly.io pricing in 2026 is pure pay-as-you-go: you pay per second for the Machines (micro-VMs) you actually run, not a fixed plan. A small always-on app on a shared-cpu-1x 256MB Machine costs about $2.02 a month; a two-Machine production SaaS with Postgres and Redis lands near $29 a month; a three-region app on performance Machines runs about $226 a month. The old Hobby, Launch, and Scale plan names were retired in the October 2024 pay-as-you-go switch, and the biggest lever left is a machine reservation, which cuts committed compute by 40%.
