Billing and Pricing

Overview

Oblax uses a usage-based billing model. You pay for what you consume — API requests, storage, compute time, and data transfer. There are no upfront commitments or reserved capacity fees. The platform tracks your usage in real time and makes it available through the billing dashboard and CLI.

Pricing is organized into tiers that bundle common usage patterns. Each tier includes a base allocation of resources, and overages are billed at the tier’s per-unit rate.

Usage Tracking

You can monitor your usage through the CLI or the platform dashboard.

Dashboard

The platform dashboard provides real-time usage graphs, historical trends, and cost projections based on current consumption rates.

Billing and Projects

Each project has its own billing record. Usage is tracked per project, and costs are aggregated at the organization level. An organization with multiple projects sees a combined billing statement with per-project breakdowns.

Organization
  ├── Project A: $45.20 (120K API requests, 5GB storage)
  ├── Project B: $12.80 (30K API requests, 1GB storage)
  └── Total: $58.00

Free Tier Limits

The free tier enforces hard limits. When you reach the limit, the platform returns a 429 Too Many Requests response with a Retry-After header. No charges are incurred beyond the free allocation.

To continue using the platform beyond free tier limits, upgrade to a paid tier through the dashboard or CLI:
