Pricing

Ubicloud provides IaaS cloud features on bare metal providers, such as Hetzner, Leaseweb, or AWS Bare Metal. You can set it up yourself on these providers or use our managed service.

The pricing information below is for our managed service. Billing is based on the resources provisioned, pro-rated for the time they are provisioned. We calculate resource consumption at per minute granularity and bill monthly.

At a high level, our prices are 3-10x lower than comparable offerings. For example, 2 vCPU instance prices for different services are:

• GitHub Actions: $0.0008/min on Ubicloud vs. $0.008/min on GitHub
• Compute (VMs): $26/month on Ubicloud vs. $90/month on AWS Germany
• Managed PostgreSQL: $65/month on Ubicloud vs. $200/month on AWS Germany
• Burstable VMs start at $6.65/month and Burstable Managed PostgreSQL starts at $12.40/month

​

GitHub Actions

Ubicloud runners come with dedicated CPU, memory, local block storage, and a public IPv4 address. Our GitHub Managed Runner Application allocates virtual machines (VMs) across data centers in Germany to provide high availability. Every account gets a $1/month credit that’s equivalent to 1,250 minutes of Ubicloud runner time.

The tag ubicloud-standard-2 defaults to Linux x64 2 vCPUs. Given Ubicloud’s price advantage, we recommend trying 4 vCPUs or more if your pipeline benefits from parallelism.

When you enable premium runners, we automatically route your jobs to premium machines. If capacity’s full, you seamlessly fall back to standard runners with no extra wait time. You are billed by the minute based on the type of runner you’re using.

Concurreny Limits

By default, all Ubicloud for GitHub Actions accounts can run a total of 128 concurrent vCPUs. This concurrency limit represents the maximum number of vCPUs that can be active in parallel across all runners and enables faster completion of queued workflow runs.

For example, with the default concurrency limit of 128 vCPUs, you can run 64 x ubicloud-standard-2 instances in parallel. Or, you can concurrently run 16 x ubicloud-standard-4 and 8 x ubicloud-standard-8 instances.

If your project requires additional concurrency beyond the default limits, you can add Concurrency Extensions to your account. Each extension increases your capacity by 64 vCPUs for an additional fee. To learn more or buy additional Concurrency Extensions, please contact us at [email protected].

Compute

Ubicloud virtual machines (VMs) come in standard and burstable flavors. The following tables display our VM pricing in Hetzner’s Germany region.

• You can choose extra storage in the portal at additional cost.
• Ubicloud prices in our LeaseWeb US region is 25% higher than in Germany.

​

Standard VMs

Standard VMs come with dedicated CPU, memory, and local block storage. You can think of the standard family as our general purpose instances.

​

Burstable VMs

Burstable VMs come with shared CPUs. Each VM can utilize host cpu capacity up to 50% of the allocated vCPU and additionally burst up to 100% of the allocated vCPU at micro-intervals. Memory and block storage is currently dedicated to each VM. Burstable VMs are best suited for low-traffic websites, development and testing workloads, and AI agents.

​

Networking

Ubicloud creates each VM in a private subnet. For free, each VM gets a private IPv4 and IPv6 address. The VM also gets a public IPv6 address for free. For a public IPv4 address, we charge $3.00/month pro-rated per minute. You can opt out of getting a public IPv4 when creating the VM.

Each VM has a monthly egress quota of 0.625TB per 2 vCPUs. If you exceed this limit, we will charge you $3 per TB of egress traffic. We don’t charge for ingress traffic or traffic between your resources within the same cloud region.

​

Managed PostgreSQL

Ubicloud Managed PostgreSQL comes in standard and burstable flavors. The following tables display our pricing in Germany.

• We calculate usage at per minute granularity and bill you at the end of the month for usage.
• We retain backups for 7 days for disaster recovery purposes. You can restore from backups at per-minute granularity.
• You can choose extra storage in the portal at additional cost.
• Ubicloud prices in our US region are 20% higher than in Germany.

​

Standard PostgreSQL

Standard Managed PostgreSQL comes with dedicated CPU, memory, and local block storage.

​

Burstable PostgreSQL

Burstable Managed PostgreSQL comes with shared CPUs. Each VM can utilize host cpu capacity up to 50% of the allocated vCPU and additionally burst up to 100% of the allocated vCPU at micro-intervals. Memory and local block storage are currently dedicated to the database.

​

Managed ParadeDB

ParadeDB is an Elasticsearch alternative built on Postgres. ParadeDB instances managed by Ubicloud team and ParadeDB team jointly.

​

Managed Kubernetes

Managed Kubernetes comes with dedicated CPU, memory, local block storage, and public IP address for each node. With Ubicloud Kubernetes, you only pay for the nodes you use and there are no hidden costs for networking, load balancers or egress fees. The following table display our pricing in Germany:

We calculate usage at per-minute granularity and bill you at the end of the month for usage.

Ubicloud prices for worker nodes in our US region are 20% higher than in Germany. Control plane pricing is the same in US and Germany.
