Pricing and workload

Bubble uses a metric called workload to calculate how much server resources your app consumes, which in turn determines the pricing. Each plan comes with workload included, and there are different ways in which you can extend the included volume.

The article series below takes a detailed look at what the workload metric is, how it works and how the the final cost of hosting your app is calculated:

Managing your plan

Bubble plans are applied to a specific app, rather than to your account. As such, you can flexibly change the plan of one app to facilitate for different stages of development and growth.

Upgrading your plan offers more features and increases the app's included workload. Here, you can switch between plans and view the features each one entails. Additionally, any active coupons associated with your account will be visible here.

All payments are processed through Stripe.

Workload add-ons

Besides the workload that comes included in your app plan, you also have the option to add more workload to continue scaling.

• Workload overages: To meet temporary demands, you can pay-as-you-go for what your app uses. Overages are automatically enabled to ensure your app stays live during period of high user demand, but you can disable it any time by unchecking the Overages are enabled box.

• Workload subscription: Workload subscriptions offer volume-based discounts. You can add a subscription by clicking Add more workload, which will show you the different tiers available.

Workload billing timing:

While your app plan and workload tier subscriptions are billed on your regular billing date, workload overages are calculated and billed separately at the end of each calendar month.

This means you can subscribe to a workload subscription any time before the last day of the month to apply the volume discount.

Paid plugins

This section of Settings will show any paid plugins that the current app is subscribed to.
