What's included

Two entitlements bundled into one $1 charge.

Unlimited deploys for 24 hours

The standard free-tier deploy cap (5 deploys per 12 hours) is bypassed for the pack's lifetime. Push as many commits as you need.

Always-On for one Small container

Pick any Small (512 MB) container — it stays awake for the full 24 hours. No 30-minute auto-sleep, no cold starts, no waiting for a wake.

One-time charge

Never auto-renews. Pay $1 today, owe $0 tomorrow. We don't store a payment method for recurring use.

Stackable to 48 hours

Buy two Sprint Packs in one session and the duration extends to 48 hours total. Stacked packs share the same container assignment.

Who Sprint Pack is for

The Weekend Hacker

Hackathons, demos, side projects

You're building something for the weekend, the demo on Monday, or the interview portfolio on Friday. $5/month for 48 hours of actual use is wasteful. $1 for 24 hours is right-sized.

The Heroku Refugee

Free-tier replacement

Heroku killed its free tier in 2022. The Eco dyno at $5/month auto-renews whether you use it or not. Pay-as-you-deploy with Sprint Pack and never see another idle-month bill.

The Skeptical Pre-subscriber

Try-before-you-subscribe

Considering $12/month Always-On but don't want to commit without load-testing? Buy a Sprint Pack, run your real traffic for a day. If it works, upgrade. If not, you're out a dollar.

Heroku discontinued its free tier on 2022-11-28. Fly.io has no flat-tier "Hobby" plan since October 2024. Hetzner (€3.79/mo) and Vultr ($2.50/mo IPv6-only) are VPS, not managed PaaS — not directly comparable. Pricing verified against official pricing pages on 2026-05-13.

Stack two for 48 hours — $2 total

Need more than 24 hours? Buy a second Sprint Pack while the first is active. The expiry extends by another 24 hours on top of what's left — same container assignment, same Always-On entitlement.

Maximum 2 stacked packs per session. For longer durations, the $12/month Always-On Mini subscription is the right tier.

When Sprint Pack is the wrong choice

Honesty section. Skip this part if you like surprises.

Medium or Large containers. Sprint Pack is locked to Small (512 MB) only. For Medium (2 GB / 1 vCPU) or Large (4 GB / 2 vCPU), use the regular Always-On subscription at $25/mo or $45/mo.

GPU workloads. GPU containers (T4, A10G) bill per GPU-hour through the separate GPU credit system. Sprint Pack is CPU only.

Recurring uptime. If you need Always-On every month, the $12/mo Mini subscription costs less than 12 Sprint Packs and never expires. Sprint Pack is for impulse-window usage, not steady state.

Refund expectations. Sprint Packs are non-refundable for unused time. If the platform fails to activate your pack due to a system error, contact [email protected] within 7 days and we'll fix it. See the refund policy.

Sprint Pack FAQ

What exactly is the Sprint Pack?

A one-time $1 purchase that gives you 24 hours of unlimited deploys plus Always-On for one Small (512 MB) container. It's the first managed container PaaS to offer a one-time 24-hour Always-On pass under $5.

How long does it last?

24 hours from the moment of purchase. You can stack two Sprint Packs in one session to extend the duration to 48 hours total. Stacked packs extend the existing expiry — they don't create new entitlements.

Does it auto-renew?

No. Sprint Pack is a one-time purchase. You will never be charged again unless you explicitly buy another pack.

What container sizes are eligible?

Small (512 MB) only. Medium (2 GB) and Large (4 GB) containers need a regular monthly Always-On subscription at $25/mo or $45/mo. GPU containers use a separate per-hour credit system.

What happens at the 24-hour mark?

Your container reverts to auto-sleep (sleeps after 30 minutes of no traffic) and your deploy limit returns to 5 deploys per 12 hours. The container itself stays deployed — there's no data loss. You can buy another Sprint Pack any time.

Can I get a refund?

No, Sprint Packs are non-refundable for unused time. If a Sprint Pack fails to activate due to a system error, contact [email protected] within 7 days and we'll issue a full refund or grant the entitlement.

How is this different from Heroku Eco or Railway Hobby?

Heroku Eco ($5/mo) is a recurring monthly dyno subscription. Railway Hobby uses a $5/month minimum-usage credit model with a 30-day trial credit for new accounts. Both auto-renew. Sprint Pack is a one-time $1 charge for 24 hours — pay only when you actually need to deploy. SnapDeploy is the first managed container PaaS to offer a one-time 24-hour Always-On pass under $5.

Ready for 24 hours of Always-On?

Pay $1 once. Deploy unlimited. Never auto-renew.
