Plans & Subscription Tiers
What’s included in Forgeon’s free trial and paid plans, how usage is measured, and what happens when limits are reached.
Forgeon runs your apps close to your users. This page explains our 7-day Free Trial and the paid tiers you can upgrade to as you grow.
You can add a payment method from the dashboard at any time. Upgrading lifts resource caps immediately — no redeploy needed.
Free Trial (7 days)
The trial gives you enough room to get a real app online and explore the dashboard.
Included during the trial
- Up to 1 Project, 2 Services (e.g.,
web+worker) - 2 vCPUs total (shared across services), 4 GB RAM total
- 1 database via mdx-service (e.g., Postgres or Redis)
- 20 GB persistent storage (volumes) across your services/databases
- Preview URL with SSL (auto-provisioned)
- Builds & logs (standard retention)
- 1 custom domain
Not included in the trial
- Dedicated IPv4 addresses
- Performance-optimized vCPU classes
- GPU instances
- Cross-region backups and long-term metrics retention
- SSO/SAML, audit logs, or role templates
Hitting any trial limit before day 7 exhausts the trial. Your apps pause until you add a payment method.
Checking usage
Open Billing → Trial Status to see what you’ve used and what remains.
- Compute (vCPU/RAM) is tracked per second while services run
- Storage and database count are tracked per hour
- Builds count toward a fair-use bucket (visible in the panel)
What happens when the trial ends?
- If you don’t add a payment method by day 7 (or you exhaust the limits early), your apps pause.
- You can’t deploy, scale, or attach volumes until billing is set up.
- Add a card to lift caps and resume without redeploying.
Adding a card ends the trial and usage starts counting toward your bill from that moment.

- 5 databases, cross-region read replicas where supported
- 200 GB persistent storage
- 10 custom domains, redirects, HSTS
- Rollbacks, approvals, branch rules, Preflight checks
- Daily backups (30-day retention) + optional PITR (where available)
- Extended logs/metrics retention, alert webhooks

Scale
For fast-growing workloads.
- Organization-wide pools with custom vCPU/RAM mixes
- Unlimited Projects, per-service autoscaling policies
- Managed GPUs (on request), performance-optimized vCPUs
- TB-class storage options, cross-region replication
- Hourly backups, configurable retention & cross-region copies
- SSO/SAML, audit logs, org-level policy controls
- Premium support & architecture advisory
Enterprise
Tailored controls & SLAs.

- Contracted SLOs, 24×7 on-call
- Private connectivity, VPC peering, IP allowlists
- Custom compliance packs and data residency
- Named support engineers
GPU, high-performance vCPU classes, and dedicated IPv4 addresses are paid features (Scale/Enterprise). Ask sales to enable them on your org.
Easy Deploy + safety features
Regardless of tier, you get the same safe flow:
- Branch selection (e.g.,
main,release/*) - Preflight (detect blockers before deploy)
- Preview URL with SSL
- Approval gate (optional)
- Instant rollback to last healthy version
Backups & metrics by tier
- Starter: daily snapshots, 7-day metrics/logs
- Pro: daily snapshots (30-day), optional PITR, 30-day metrics/logs
- Scale/Enterprise: hourly + cross-region, custom retention, export to your Grafana/Prometheus
Need longer retention on Starter? Enable Metrics Exporter to stream OpenMetrics to your own stack.
Billing basics
- Compute is billed by vCPU-second and GB-second (RAM) used by running services.
- Storage by GB-month on attached volumes and snapshots.
- Data transfer is included within fair-use; excessive egress may incur overages.
- Databases are billed per engine instance + storage + backups.
FAQs
Can I keep the trial running by adding a card later?
Yes, but when you add a card the trial ends and billing starts immediately. Apps resume where they left off.
Will I lose data when the trial pauses?
No. Volumes and databases remain intact. Compute is paused. Add a card to resume.
Can I exceed vCPU/RAM briefly?
On Pro and above, bursts are allowed within pool limits. Scale/Enterprise can reserve dedicated capacity.
Do you support annual billing?
Yes (Pro and above). Contact support to switch.
