Our notes
Choosing Smallest pod (0.25 CPU, 0.25 GB)
Who it suits
Lightweight self-hosted apps that need very little memory, such as a password manager, a link shortener or a small dashboard, and anyone trying PikaPods with the $5 new-account credit.
Compared with other PikaPods plans
This is the floor of PikaPods pricing: 0.25 CPU and 0.25 GB of memory for about $1.80 a month. Each app has its own minimum size; app pods in our catalog run from $1.80 (Vaultwarden) to $6.80 (Nextcloud). Larger pods cost more on a sliding scale of CPU, memory and storage.
Before you sign up
0.25 GB of memory is not enough for most databases or PHP apps, so check the app’s minimum before choosing the smallest size. Prices exclude VAT. Billing is hourly from prepaid credit, so a pod you stop after a week costs about a week.
