Netlify pricing update: Introducing credit-based plans
September 5, 2025
We’ve simplified our pricing to make it more transparent and predictable.
Our new credit-based plans are now available for new accounts.
Current customers: You can stay on your legacy plan with no action required. The ability to optionally update to new plans will be available soon.
What’s new
Credit-based billing replaces complex metrics. Instead of tracking 15+ separate metrics, add-on packages, and usage tiers, you now have a single credit balance to monitor. Check your credit usage at a glance and dive into Account usage insights for details.
Three plans
| Plan | Monthly credits | Price | Team size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 300 | $0 | 1 Team Owner |
| Personal | 1,000 | $9/month | 1 Team Owner |
| Pro | 5,000 | $20/member/month | Unlimited members |
New Personal plan benefits
- Purchase additional credits as needed
- 7-day project analytics and Real User Metrics
- Priority email support
- Smart secret detection to prevent credential leaks
- Option to add concurrent build capacity
Controlling costs
While the free plan is still always free, our paid credit-based plans also offer you control over what happens when your site or app runs out of credits.
You can keep costs predictable by waiting till your monthly credits refresh at the start of your billing cycle or you can set up auto recharge, which allows you to buy more credits in smaller increments as your web project needs them. Auto recharge is turned off by default and as a Team Owner you can turn on or off at any time.
Paid plans have the option to purchase additional credits in these increments:
- Personal plans: 200 credits for $5 USD
- Pro plans: 1000 credits for $20 USD
Simplified metered billing Here is how credit usage is calculated by Netlify’s metered billing at a high-level. For more detailed and technical explanations, check out our docs on How credits work.
