Will these changes impact the ability to set a spending cap (the “pause all your projects at a certain amount” option) ?
Only double checking because one of the main reasons I use Vercel as a cloud provider is that I don’t have to worry about accidentally finding myself with an astronomical AWS bill (you know — the horror stories that generally get attention on social media)
Thanks in advance! I appreciate the work you guys do
I received an email notification that I would be paying more. I’m fine with that, Vercel is a great deal for me, happy to pay more. That said, I’m trying to work out how much I will pay and it is not clear. For example, if I go to my usage for the last few days, here’s what I see:
I think what I need to do is go to Find a plan to power your projects. and then cross reference the numbers but I can’t find “Function Duration” on the pricing page. I seem to get 1K GB Hrs per month included and I can’t find any pricing items that show the 1K GB Hrs per month included either. For things that are already in on-demand usage (e.g: “Function Invocations”) I can reverse engineer it (e.g: 300k = $0.6 so 1m = $2 meaning under new pricing 1.3m would be $2.60) but otherwise I feel lost.
Could you add an additional column for people on the old pricing showing what they would pay for their previous / current usage under the new pricing? or even just display the per unit cost for items even when they’re not yet running into on-demand usage?
Thanks!
edit: ah it looks like I’m on “Legacy Pricing” which is described in the documentation, and that’s why the pricing page doesn’t match up, so perhaps I’m an edge-case and others will not encounter this confusion.
But then I can use up less than $20 in credits within a month, right? And the remaining credits of each month carry to the next and some time in the future I can skip on a monthly payment because I already have $20 in credits - does that make sense?
Every Pro plan comes with $20 in monthly credit. You can use your monthly credit across all infrastructure resources. Once you have used your monthly credit, Vercel bills additional usage on-demand.
The credit and allocations expire at the end of the month if they are not used, and are reset at the beginning of the following month.
This looks like a solid update really like the idea of flexible credits and free viewer seats, it makes the plan feel much more team-friendly. The spend management alerts are also a nice touch to avoid surprise bills. For reference, the breakdown of the monthly credit in the Pro plan is well detailed here: https://vercel.com/docs/plans/pro-plan#monthly-credit. Excited to see how this works in practice.
I switched to new plan and found out prices for raised from $20 to $60 in our example. Thats 300% increase which we are not following through with it and switching platforms.
Was there a particular area where you saw the greatest increase? I’d like to rule out any metric reporting bugs or one-time events that could have led to an increase
