Starter costs $19 a month plus additional usage costs, with $45 in build credit, one concurrency, 3,000 monthly active users, and a two-hour build timeout. Production costs $199 a month plus additional usage costs, adding $225 in build credit, two concurrencies, 50,000 monthly active users, and 10 environment-variable environments. Enterprise has no listed price and includes $1,000 in build credit, five concurrencies, and 1M+ monthly active users.
