Pricing & Plans

Parslinks billing combines a plan (what you're entitled to) with usage-based credits (what you consume). Exact prices and limits are shown live in the dashboard — this page explains the model so you can predict your bill.

The model

• Your workspace is on exactly one plan at a time.
• Plans set entitlements: how many projects/services you can create, replica limits, build concurrency, storage caps.
• Running resources generate usage events (replica-hours, builds, stored GB, traffic) that consume workspace credits.
• Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance; you can top up any time.

What consumes credits

Idle things cost little: stopped instances don't burn replica-hours, and artifacts of old deployments are garbage-collected once nothing retains them.

Free tier

New workspaces start on the free plan: enough entitlement for a personal project with a production environment and previews, plus a starter credit allowance. Quota errors surface clearly when you hit the ceiling — upgrade or free up resources to continue.

Upgrading & downgrading

• Upgrade: new entitlements apply immediately; running workloads are unaffected except that new actions can now exceed the old quota.
• Downgrade: running resources keep running, but anything beyond the new limits blocks new creations/scales until you're back within quota.
• Plan changes prorate per the terms shown at checkout.

Checking your usage

The billing page shows live aggregates per project and service, plus the credit ledger. Because metering is event-based, every number on that page traces to recorded events — see Billing & Usage.

Tips to keep costs predictable

1. Pause preview/custom environments you're not actively using
2. Right-size placement intent — replicas you don't need still bill while ready
3. Let artifact retention clean up superseded deployments instead of hoarding
4. Set up low-credit awareness among admins (notifications cover it)
