Railway waives the monthly Hobby plan subscription fee for a small set of active builders on the platform. Eligibility is automatically assessed based on several factors, including your usage on the platform, your GitHub account, and more. If you qualify, you will be notified in the Dashboard or when you upgrade to the Hobby plan.

Railway does not manually grant verification status.

If you do not already have a Railway account, you can sign up for a free Trial by clicking "Login" at railway.app.

When you sign up for the free Trial, you will receive a one-time grant of $5 in credits that you can use to try out Railway. The credits will be applied towards any usage on the platform and do not expire. If you upgrade to a plan while you still have a credit balance from the trial, the remaining balance will carry over to your new plan.

During the trial, you can access the same features as on the Hobby plan, however you will be limited to 500MB of RAM and shared (rather than dedicated) vCPU cores.

As a trial user, you can always spin-up databases. However, to deploy code, you must have a verified account. Read about verification here.

If you connect your GitHub account, and we are able to verify it against a set of parameters, you will be on the Full Trial where you can deploy both code and databases.

If you do not connect a GitHub account, or we are not able to verify your account, you will be on the Limited Trial, where you can only deploy databases.

While you're on the Limited Trial, you can initiate verification at any time by visiting railway.app/verify in order to access the Full Trial experience.

The longevity of your one-time trial grant depends on how many resources you consume. A project that uses most of the resources available on the Trial plan 24/7 will consume the credits in roughly a month, while a simple webserver may be able to run for several months before running out.

Railway charges for the resources that you consume. These include:

• RAM: $10 / GB / mo ($0.000231 / GB / minute)
• CPU: $20 / vCPU / mo ($0.000463 / vCPU / minute)
• Network Egress: $0.10 / GB ($0.000000095367432 / KB)
• (Optional Add-on) Volume Storage: $0.25 / GB / mo ($0.000005787037037 / GB / minute)

Refer to railway.app/pricing for additional details and a calculator you can use for estimating your costs.

With Railway, you are only billed for the resources you consume at any given time. If you want to approximate the cost of running your app, try our pricing calculator.

Your Hobby plan subscription includes $5 of usage per month. If your total usage at the end of your billing period is $5 or less, you will not be charged for usage. If your total usage exceeds $5 in any given billing period, you will be charged the delta.

Included usage is reset at the end of every billing cycle and does not accumulate over time.

Usage limits are now in beta, you can read more about them here.

There are two main components to your bill:

• Subscription: Cost of the plan you're on ([cost per seat] x [purchased seats])
• Usage: Cost of the resources you've consumed ([cost per unit] x [used units])

Subscription is a flat fee you pay monthly for the tier you're subscribed to, and Usage varies according to your resource consumption for the month.

To view and manage your subscription, visit the billing section of the Railway dashboard.

When you make a payment, you will receive an email with your invoice and receipt attached. You can also find your billing history in the billing section of the Railway dashboard.

Head to the billing section in your dashboard and click "Manage Subscription." From there, you can update your billing information, including billing address and Tax ID.

Railway accepts credit cards for plan subscriptions, usage, and to purchase prepaid credits. We support invoice payments for customers on the Enterprise plan.

Yes. You can use prepaid credits as a payment method on Railway if you prefer to prepay for Railway's services. You will still need to pay a monthly subscription fee, as well as for any usage. Those amounts will be deducted from your credit balance.

If you are using credits as a payment method and your credit balance reaches zero, you will no longer be able to deploy to Railway and we will stop all of your workloads. You will have a grace period to add new credits before we purge your data.

You can upgrade any time, and when you do, you will get to the features of your new plan, as well as access to more powerful resources, immediately. When you downgrade, the changes will take effect at the beginning of your next billing cycle.

When you cancel your subscription, if you're on Hobby, Pro, or Enterprise, your plan will remain active through the end of your current billing period, and any usage will be charged at the end of the period.

If you are on the Hobby plan and using prepaid credits as your payment method, your subscription will be canceled immediately and any credit balance you may have will be forfeited.
