Every feature included.
Every bill predictable.

Each plan bundles a monthly pool of compute hours and add-on credits, with a discount already applied. Add-ons beyond your credits are billed to the same subscription as you use them. If you need more compute, capacity blocks of 5,000 hours are $150 each, and volume and term discounts are available through sales. Full dyno sizes and add-on pricing live in our docs.

The main difference is the amount of compute. Developer plans are smaller, hard-capped pools for solo developers and small teams. Enterprise plans carry much larger pools plus bundled add-on credits, and add premium support and engineer-led migration for more complex needs. The features are the same on both.

A dyno (or instance) runs the compute for your app inside its own isolated container: a web server, a background worker, or a scheduled job. Each runs independently, so you scale by running more of them or larger sizes. Heroku calls them dynos; AWS, Render, and others call them instances or containers. You're billed only for the hours they run, measured in dyno-hours per month.

Predictability. Metered billing tells you what you owe after the month ends; a bucket means you know before it starts. You pick a pool with headroom, the invoice stays identical every month, and if you grow toward the ceiling we right-size your plan before it becomes a problem.

Nothing breaks, and nothing surprises you. Build never meters you into a surprise overage or throttles your apps at the ceiling. As you approach your pool, add capacity in 5,000-hour blocks for $150 each, or we'll flag it early and right-size your plan with you before it's a problem.

Enterprise plans include monthly add-on credits, from $600 on Core to $12,000 on Premier. Credits apply to add-ons that run on Build infrastructure, like managed PostgreSQL and Redis. Anything beyond your bundle is billed to the same invoice as you use it. Partner add-ons are provided and billed separately by the partner and aren't covered by credits.

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately, and downgrades apply from your next billing cycle. If your usage pattern changes, we'll help you right-size your plan rather than leave you overpaying.

Yes, through our bill-beat guarantee. Send us a recent, comparable invoice from Heroku, AWS, Render, Railway, Fly.io, or any other platform. We verify it and come back with a guaranteed monthly price below what you pay today, locked for 12 months, so there is no line-item negotiation and no surprises while you migrate. A current, comparable invoice is required. Terms apply, contact us to check your invoice qualifies.

Most apps move with no rewrite. Build is compatible with Heroku buildpacks, Postgres, Redis, pipelines, and config vars, and our engineers run the migration with you, with a tested rollback path. Migrations typically take days, not quarters. See how migration works.
