Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the free tier?

The free tier includes 1 database instance with up to 5 database clones, full access to the Supabase Studio interface, Git-style branching capabilities, and community support.

How does BYOC pricing work?

With Bring Your Own Cloud, you pay only for the Vela software license at $19/vCPU/month. Your cloud infrastructure costs are separate and billed directly by your cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure).

Can I change plans anytime?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes take effect immediately, and billing is prorated for the current month.

What about data egress costs?

Unlike cloud providers, Vela doesn't charge for data egress. Since you control your own cloud infrastructure, you only pay your provider's standard rates.
