Ubicloud Price Adjustment

Ubicloud is an open source alternative to AWS. We offer managed cloud services that build on top of PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, vLLM, and others.

Since we set our prices in 2024, we saw a notable increase in our infrastructure costs. As a result, we’re increasing prices for most cloud services by 26%. New deployments will see this price increase on May 1, 2026. Existing resources will be charged at the new rate starting June 1, 2026.

If you’re using our GitHub Actions product, premium runner prices will remain unchanged.

Why prices are changing

Ubicloud uses infrastructure providers such as Hetzner, Leaseweb, and AWS for its non-AI services. Over the past two and a half years, we saw our costs increase by 35.3% due to a combination of reasons.

  • Increase in RAM add-on prices by 5x
  • Increase in server setup costs by up to 7x
  • Increase in server lease prices by 12-17%
  • US dollar depreciating against the Euro. We pay part of our bill in Euros and sell our services in USD

We started by absorbing some of these costs, but this became unsustainable with recent changes in RAM prices. To continue investing in the Ubicloud platform, we decided to apply a 26% increase to virtual machines (VMs), PostgreSQL databases, Kubernetes clusters, and GitHub Actions standard runners. GitHub Actions premium runner prices remain unchanged.

New deployments will be charged at the new rate starting in May. For existing resources, the price change will be effective in June.

This price change affects our Germany, Finland, and Virginia regions. Our regions powered by AWS won’t observe a price change. Additionally, we're aligning Finland pricing with Germany. Below, you can find examples of price updates. We calculate resource consumption at per minute granularity and bill monthly.
