Budget cloud VMs, no free tier. As of 2026-10-07 hetzner.com marks every Cost-Optimized plan — CX23, CX33, CX43, CX53 and the Arm CAX11–CAX41 — "not available". The cheapest orderable plan is CPX02 at €6.49/month (1 vCPU AMD, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB NVMe), which Hetzner added on 2026-10-06 in the EU and Singapore (€7.99 there). CPX12 is €11.99 (1 vCPU, 2 GB, 40 GB) and CPX22 is €19.99 (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 80 GB). All three include 20 TB of traffic a month in the EU and less in Singapore (0.5 TB for CPX02 and CPX12). Dedicated-vCPU CCX13 is €43.49/month in the EU and $51.59 in the US. These are hetzner.com's displayed prices and include the €0.50/month primary IPv4. Two 2026 increases: April 1 across all lines, then June 15, which applies to new orders and rescales only — existing contracts keep their terms. The June standardization renamed dedicated server models (-1, -2 and -3 suffixes, plus a -1-Ltd limited line) and left the cloud plan names unchanged; the older CX22/CX32/CX42 names went before it. Server Auction, IPs, storage, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots and Object Storage were excluded from the June round. New accounts can get €50 of credit with Hetzner's sign-up code (hetzner.com/promo-code), valid only for the billing period in which it is redeemed.
- Hetzner blocks outgoing ports 25 and 465 on all cloud servers by default. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-04.)
- After a month and a paid first invoice, you can ask Hetzner to unblock ports 25 and 465; it decides case by case. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-04.)
- Port 587 to external mail services is open. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-04.)
- Each Hetzner account has a default limit on how many cloud resources it can run at once, shown on the Limits tab of the Hetzner Console; Hetzner does not publish the number, and no new server can be created once the limit is reached. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/general/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
- You can ask to raise the limit in the Hetzner Console only after a month with Hetzner and a paid first invoice, and Hetzner reviews each request by hand. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
- Hetzner bills a cloud server for as long as it exists, even while it is powered off; only deleting it stops the charge. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-07.)
- Cloud servers are billed by the hour, rounded up to a whole hour, and never more than the plan's monthly price. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-07.)
- Outgoing traffic beyond a server's included amount costs €1.00 per TB in the EU and the US, and €7.40 per TB in Singapore. Hetzner bills overage in 100 MB blocks. It emails the project owner when usage passes 75% of the included traffic. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
- Backups cost 20% of the server's monthly price, excluding the €0.50 ($0.60) IPv4 address. Monthly backup prices are in euros, with the US dollar price in brackets for accounts billed in USD. EU locations, Regular Performance: CPX02 €1.20 ($1.50), CPX12 €2.30 ($2.70), CPX22 €3.90 ($4.60), CPX32 €7.10 ($8.40), CPX42 €13.90 ($16.40), CPX52 €20.10 ($23.80), CPX62 €26.00 ($30.60). EU General Purpose: CCX13 €8.60 ($10.10), CCX23 €17.20 ($20.30), CCX33 €27.70 ($32.60), CCX43 €55.20 ($65.10), CCX53 €106.70 ($125.90), CCX63 €170.70 ($201.40). EU Cost-Optimized: CX23 €1.10 ($1.30), CX33 €1.70 ($2.00), CX43 €3.20 ($3.70), CX53 €5.90 ($7.00), CAX11 €1.20 ($1.40), CAX21 €2.10 ($2.50), CAX31 €4.20 ($5.00), CAX41 €8.20 ($9.70). US locations, Regular Performance: CPX11 €3.50 ($4.10), CPX21 €6.40 ($7.50), CPX31 €12.50 ($14.70), CPX41 €24.10 ($28.30), CPX51 €47.60 ($55.90). A server with backups costs its monthly price plus its backup price. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/billing/faq, read 2026-10-18.)
- Backups are automatic daily copies of the server's disk. Each server has seven backup slots; when all seven are full, the oldest is deleted when a new one is made. Backups are deleted with the server. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/backups-snapshots/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
- Snapshots cost €0.0143 per GB a month, so a 40 GB snapshot costs about €0.57 a month. Snapshots are kept until deleted. By default an account can hold up to 30 snapshots across all its projects. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/backups-snapshots/faq, read 2026-10-08.)
- Object Storage costs €6.49 a month ($7.99) for 1 TB storage (up to 744 TB-hours) and 1 TB egress. Storage beyond that costs €0.0087 per TB-hour ($0.0123), or about €6.47 per TB for a 31-day month. Egress beyond 1 TB costs €1.00 per TB ($1.20). (From hetzner.com/storage/object-storage, read 2026-10-08.)
- The base price is billed for every hour at least one bucket exists, even if it is empty. Unused quota does not carry over. Objects smaller than 64 KB are billed as 64 KB. (From hetzner.com/storage/object-storage, read 2026-10-08.)
- Volumes (block storage) cost €0.0572 per GB a month ($0.0767), billed hourly up to that monthly price, from 10 GB to 10 TB in 1 GB steps. A 100 GB Volume costs €5.72 a month. Before 1 April 2026 the price was €0.044 per GB. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/volumes/overview, read 2026-10-10.)
- A Volume can be made larger at any time but never smaller. (From hetzner.com/cloud/block-storage, read 2026-10-10.)
- Storage Boxes cost €3.20 a month for 1 TB (BX11), €10.90 for 5 TB, €20.80 for 10 TB and €40.60 for 20 TB, billed hourly up to that monthly price, with no setup fee. (From docs.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/general, read 2026-10-10.)
- Hetzner's prices are net, so VAT is added by the customer's country of residence: 19% in Germany, and each EU country's own rate for EU customers without a valid VAT ID. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/value-added-tax, read 2026-10-08.)
- An EU business with a valid VAT ID is invoiced without VAT under the reverse-charge procedure. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/value-added-tax, read 2026-10-08.)
- Outside the EU, Hetzner adds tax only in the United Kingdom (20%), Switzerland (8.1%), Norway, Australia, Singapore, South Africa and five US states (Texas, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico); everyone else pays none. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/value-added-tax, read 2026-10-08.)
- When you create a Hetzner account, you choose euros or US dollars. You cannot change the currency later; to change it, you must open a new account and move your products. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/payment-overview, read 2026-10-08.)
- Hetzner takes credit cards, SEPA direct debit, bank transfer and PayPal. Visa, Mastercard and Amex cards and SEPA direct debit are charged automatically; UnionPay, bank transfer and PayPal are paid by hand. SEPA direct debit is only for euro accounts. Not all methods are available in every country. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/payment-overview, read 2026-10-08.)
- Hetzner may ask a new customer to verify the account before it processes an order, with a government ID or an advance payment by the customer's own credit card. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/security-and-identify/fraud-prevention-faq, read 2026-10-07.)
- A cloud server can run with only an IPv6 address. Hetzner charges €0.50 a month for a Primary IPv4, and nothing for a Primary IPv6, so an IPv6-only server costs €0.50 a month less than the same server with IPv4. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/primary-ips/overview, read 2026-10-10.)
- A server with only an IPv6 address has no public IPv4 connectivity. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/primary-ips/faq, read 2026-10-10.)
- Private Networks, and the traffic on their private interfaces, are free. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/networks/faq, read 2026-10-10.)
- Cloud Firewalls are free. (From docs.hetzner.com/cloud/firewalls/overview, read 2026-10-10.)
- Hetzner prohibits cryptocurrency mining, farming and plotting. Hetzner may lock the customer's services or account for non-compliance. (From hetzner.com/legal/terms-and-conditions, read 2026-11-03.)
- Hetzner invoices are due immediately. You must pay within ten days. Hetzner then sends email reminders. For late payments, Hetzner may lock servers, cancel products, or lock or delete the account. Hetzner decides case by case. New accounts may have servers locked earlier for unpaid first invoices. Hetzner does not guarantee data recovery. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/billing-at-hetzner/payment-overview, read 2026-11-03.)
- Hetzner dedicated servers cancel immediately in Robot. Hetzner bills by the hour up to the monthly price cap, except for additional hardware and licenses. Windows, Plesk and cPanel licenses bill for full calendar months. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/billing-and-account-management/cancellation/cancellations-robot, read 2026-11-03.)
- Hetzner has a standard data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR, concluded in the customer account. Hetzner does not create individual DPAs. Non-cloud product data stays in the EU. Cloud data stays in the location the customer chooses; data stored on a server in the US or Singapore is transferred there. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/company-and-policy/data-protection-at-hetzner, read 2026-11-03.)
- Hetzner GPU servers are only in the dedicated GPU line, not in cloud plans. The cheapest is GEX45 with NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition and 24 GB GDDR7, billed monthly or hourly with a one-time setup fee. (From hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-gpu, read 2026-11-03.)
- Hetzner DNS zones and records are free in the Hetzner Console and API. (From hetzner.com/dns, read 2026-11-03.)
- Hetzner's experimental Inference API is free while it stays experimental. Hetzner says not to use it for production. (From docs.hetzner.com/general/company-and-policy/experiments/inference, read 2026-11-03.)

| ngrok |
Free |
Tunneling and ingress platform — 3 online endpoints, 1 GB bandwidth, 20K HTTP/S requests/month, 1 dev domain, 5K TCP connections. Includes $5 one-time usage credit.
- On the Free plan, ngrok shows a warning page to browser traffic to deter phishing; code can skip it with the ngrok-skip-browser-warning header. (From ngrok.com/docs/pricing-limits/free-plan-limits, read 2026-10-04.)
- TCP endpoints on the Free plan require credit card verification. (From ngrok.com/pricing, read 2026-10-04.)
- The Free plan's monthly quotas reset at the start of each monthly billing cycle. ngrok's docs say to upgrade to a plan with higher limits on hitting a limit or running out of credit, and to choose Pay-as-you-go for endpoints that always stay online. (From ngrok.com/docs/pricing-limits/free-plan-limits, read 2026-10-29.)
- The Free plan includes no usage beyond its credit. Hobbyist costs $10 monthly with $10 of included usage; Pay-as-you-go costs $20 monthly with $20 of included usage. Data transfer over 5 GB costs $0.10 per GB, and HTTP/S requests over 100,000 cost $1 per 100,000. (From ngrok.com/pricing, read 2026-10-29.)
- When usage credit runs out on Hobbyist, endpoints stop working until the end of the billing cycle, when the credit resets. On Pay-as-you-go, endpoints continue working and additional usage is billed at the end of the billing cycle. (From ngrok.com/pricing, read 2026-10-29.)
- With an account, you may distribute the ngrok Agent to customers for applications you create, if you maintain the account. Customers with their own accounts need ngrok's consent. The terms bar reselling or making services available standalone but do not prohibit commercial use. (From ngrok.com/tos, read 2026-10-29.)
- On the free version, ngrok may include the Agent's IP address in assigned hostnames or HTTP response headers. (From ngrok.com/tos, read 2026-10-29.)
- Free endpoints have no timeout. (From ngrok.com/docs/pricing-limits/free-plan-limits, read 2026-10-29.)
