What stays free in the public beta

Serverless functions and workflows are in public beta at ₹0. A virtual machine is not. This is the line between the two, and what the beta does not include.

What stays free in the public beta

Two products are in public beta at ₹0. Everything else on the rate card is a paid plan. The beta price holds for as long as the beta lasts, and the product page is where that status is stated.

Serverless functions

Serverless runs a function in Noida. Each invocation is its own microVM. Metering is a 1ms tick. No credit card is required to try it. Use it for a short piece of work that should start when a request arrives and stop when the request is done.

It is the wrong tool for a process you SSH into, a database you operate, or anything that must stay running between requests. That is a virtual machine, from ₹1,150/mo (₹2.53/hr), with root, an OS image and L3/L4 DDoS included.

Workflows

Workflows are visual graphs, n8n-compatible, with 100+ connectors. The graphs, the credentials and the run history stay in Noida Tier-IV. The product is in public beta at ₹0 while that beta lasts.

The other way to run n8n is on a VM you administer. That is a flat monthly price with no per-execution fee, and it is not part of the beta: self-host n8n. Pick the beta when you want the hosted graph. Pick the VM when you want root and your own version of the software.

What the beta does not cover

  • A virtual machine, a game server, a load balancer, a VPC or a dedicated machine. Those have prices. The smallest VM is ₹1,150/mo (₹2.53/hr).
  • API Gateway. It is in beta, and it does not have a public rate card on this site. The console answers the price.
  • The signup credit. A new account starts with ₹1,000 in free credit on signup. That credit is separate from the ₹0 beta. It applies to the paid account, and it is the only signup offer.

Prices on the rate card exclude GST. A GST invoice is issued against a payment.
