Four steps. No markup on compute.

1. 1

   Pick a plan

   Stay on Free (1 server, 1 app, 2 vCPU / 2 GB) or pick Starter ($9.99), Pro ($19), or Scale ($39). Paid plans cover the dashboard, deploys, API, and MCP. They are not a bucket of compute hours.

2. 2

   Connect a server

   SSH into a box you already own, or connect AWS with your own IAM. You own the cloud account. CloudPloy deploys onto it.

3. 3

   Point at a repo and deploy

   Nixpacks detects the stack and builds. Or use a WordPress / Laravel preset. SSL and routing come with the deploy.

4. 4

   Hand it to your agent (optional)

   Create a scoped token, connect over MCP, and deploy from Claude Code or Cursor without leaving the editor.

Credits only when we pay the provider

If your credit balance hits zero on a server we provisioned, we stop it, then destroy it after a 7-day grace period if you don't top up. Servers you brought yourself keep running; we only drop CloudPloy-side service if the plan lapses.
