Built to pay for itself.
We absorb the low-level work that has teams fighting infrastructure instead of shipping.Predictable, transparent platform pricing, paid back in engineering hours.
We'll cover your first month to give you a chance to see the platform in action.

We'll cover your first month.
Get into the weeds. The only way to know if a platform holds up under your actual workloads is to run your actual workloads. So we give you 30 days to see for yourself.
Your engineers get direct access to ours throughout. Whether that's walking through migration patterns, reviewing your architecture, or just mapping how the pieces fit together.
Private Slack Channel
A dedicated channel between your team and Cycle's engineers. Ask questions, share logs, and work through issues in real time.
Public Slack
Chat with the Cycle team and other users, follow announcements, and get quick answers.
Join SlackCycle Community
Searchable discussions, guides, and answers from people building on Cycle.
Visit the community
A direct line to our engineers.
Customers get their own Slack channel with the engineers who build Cycle, so questions get answered by people who can actually fix things. Anyone can join our public Slack or the Cycle community to meet other teams running Cycle, swap notes, and talk shop.

Scale on your terms.
Standard is built to grow with you. There are no hard caps on servers or team members. Need 50 extra nodes for a launch or a holiday traffic spike? Spin them up, run them as long as you need, and pay only for the hours they were running.
Overages bill by the hour, prorated. A node running for 6 hours costs you 6 hours, not a full month. If you reach a point where custom pricing fits better, Scale / Enterprise is there, but nothing on Standard forces the switch.
"Cycle was instrumental in our transition away from Kubernetes. Essentially, Cycle became our DevOps team, allowing us to focus on growth and delivery."
Frequently asked questions.
How am I charged?
You pay a predictable monthly price for the tier that fits your team. Each tier includes a set number of seats, servers, and image storage.
What is a seat?
A seat is one login. Anyone who signs into Cycle counts as a seat, whether it's a CTO, an engineer pushing code, or any other member of the team.
How are "Servers" counted?
A server is any Virtual Machine or Bare Metal node that is actively connected to the Cycle control plane and running CycleOS. If you delete a node from your provider, it is instantly removed from your Cycle billing count.
How many containers and VMs can I deploy?
As many as your underlying infrastructure can support. Cycle does not place a hard limit on container or VM count, only on the number of servers running them.
Do you charge for bandwidth or compute?
No. Cycle is an orchestration control plane, not a hosting provider. You bring your own infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Bare Metal) and pay them directly for compute and bandwidth. Cycle charges only for the platform itself, never for your compute or traffic.
What happens if I exceed my tier's limits?
Servers beyond your included allotment are billed hourly. Additional seats cost $50 per month on Standard and Scale plans.
Can I upgrade or downgrade at any time?
Yes. You can change tiers with a single click from the billing portal. Changes take effect immediately and are prorated for the remainder of the month. Our team is available to help you pick the tier that fits.
How am I charged for support?
Support is included on every Cycle plan. Every team gets a direct line to our core team for day-to-day questions and incident response.
Do you offer flexible billing?
Yes. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks. We can work with you to establish a billing schedule that fits your finance team's process.
Do you offer any discounts?
We provide proof-of-concept credits for teams evaluating Cycle. Longer-term discounts are available with an annual commitment. Contact our sales team for details.
