When you start paying
Pay when you want one of these:
- Your own domain, like bookly.com.
- A second app.
- More traffic or resources than the free plan includes.
- Scaling: more instances or bigger ones.
Everything else stays free: the plugin, every skill and agent, launch advice, name search with its monthly quota, and the launch check on every deploy.
Rates
Traffic and usage share one allowance across your account. Anything over it is overage, even if only one app is busy.
Free has no overage. It stops at its limits.
Overage and scaling rates: to be published.
