Free to deploy. Pay only when you need more.
A Small container is free and sleeps when nobody visits. For $1 you keep it on for a day. From $12 a month it never sleeps, runs on your own domain and has no deploy caps.
Scripts, cron jobs and uptime monitors do not wake a sleeping app; a browser visit does. Every free-tier rule is on the free-tier page.
No credit card. Nothing expires.
Keep an app on 24/7: Always-On
Per container. It never sleeps, so visitors never wait, and its daily deploy cap goes away. Medium and Large exist only as Always-On.

Questions
What is free on SnapDeploy?
Deploying a Small container (512 MB RAM, 0.25 vCPU) from GitHub, a public Docker image, a ZIP or an AI assistant: 10 deploys a day (5 in any 12 hours), 100 running hours a month across your account, up to 4 containers, a free address on containers.snapdeploy.app with HTTPS, Docker image uploads up to 2 GB. A free app sleeps after 15 minutes without visitors and wakes in about a minute when someone opens it. No credit card.
When do I have to pay?
Only in these cases: you want an app on 24/7 instead of sleeping (Always-On, from $12 a month per container); you need a Medium or Large container ($25 or $45 a month, Always-On only); you want your own domain or a WebSocket app (both need Always-On); you upload Docker images over 2 GB (up to 10 GB with Always-On); you need a managed database, Redis or RabbitMQ (from $14 a month, or $1 for 12 hours); or you need a dedicated GPU ($499 or $999 a month).
What is not included in the free tier?
Running while nobody visits (free apps sleep after 15 minutes idle), more than 100 running hours a month, more than 10 deploys a day, Medium and Large containers, custom domains, WebSockets, Docker images over 2 GB, managed add-ons and GPUs. Scripts and cron jobs do not wake a sleeping app; a browser visit does. Every rule is on the free-tier page.
What is auto-sleep and auto-wake?
A free app sleeps after 15 minutes with no visitors and starts again in about a minute when someone opens it in a browser. Always-On keeps a container running 24/7 so visitors never wait, from $12 a month.
What are the container sizes?
Small: 512 MB RAM, 0.25 vCPU, free with auto-sleep or $12 a month Always-On. Medium: 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, $25 a month, Always-On only. Large: 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, $45 a month, Always-On only. Quarterly billing is 10% off and annual billing 17% off.
What is a Sprint Pack?
Everything in Always-On Small for 24 hours on one container, for $1 (₹99 in India). One-time payment, no subscription, no renewal. The DB Sprint Pack is the same idea for databases: 12 hours of a Mini managed database for $1 (₹99).
Can I use a custom domain?
Custom domains need Always-On, because a domain pointing at a sleeping app would show errors to your visitors. With Always-On you can add as many custom domains as you like, each with automatic HTTPS.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes, a 3-day money-back guarantee on your first Always-On Medium ($25) or Large ($45) subscription. Always-On Small ($12), Sprint Packs and DB Sprint Packs are not refundable. See the refund policy for details.
What payment methods do you accept?
India: Razorpay — UPI (including Google Pay), all major cards and net banking, billed in INR. Everywhere else: credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on a secure hosted checkout page, or PayPal, billed in USD. No PayPal account is needed. Customers anywhere can also subscribe in the SnapDeploy iOS or Android app, billed by the App Store or Google Play.
Does SnapDeploy include databases?
Managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB from $29 a month, Redis from $16 a month and RabbitMQ from $14 a month, each running 24/7 whether or not your app is awake. Try any of them for $1 for 12 hours with the DB Sprint Pack.
How does SnapDeploy compare to Heroku?
SnapDeploy lets you deploy for free — 10 deploys a day and 100 hours a month, no credit card (Heroku charges from day 1). Each app runs in its own private container, not shared with other users. Always-On starts at $12 a month per container against Heroku's $7 Eco dyno, which sleeps.
Do I need Docker experience to use SnapDeploy?
No. SnapDeploy generates Dockerfiles for common frameworks. Connect your GitHub repository and deploy, or bring your own Dockerfile or a public Docker image.
