Pricing
We're still building this page out. In the meantime: RunOS is completely free today, unlimited nodes, unlimited clusters, no credit card needed.

Let's answer the obvious questions first.
Before any pitch, here are direct answers to the three things every developer asks about a "free" infra tool: will it stay free, what happens the day pricing shows up, and what happens to your workloads if you ever want out.
Will RunOS stay free?
RunOS has been 1.0 and generally available since June 30, 2026. Right now, today, it's free: unlimited nodes, unlimited clusters, no credit card required. There's no announced end date on that and no future pricing model published yet. We're not going to pretend otherwise or dress up a hypothetical as a fact.
What happens when you introduce pricing?
We don't have numbers to show you today, and we're not going to make some up. When a paid tier exists, it gets announced here first, with real pricing attached, not sprung on people already running clusters. And whatever that tier looks like, it covers RunOS itself, not your infrastructure. Your Hetzner or AWS bill is between you and them. Always. BYOC means that's never on the table for us to touch.
Am I locked in?
No. Under the hood it's standard Kubernetes, and you get your own kubeconfig from day one. Disconnect RunOS any time and your cluster keeps running exactly as it was. RunOS runs on any Ubuntu server, including boxes behind NAT with zero inbound ports open, so there's no proprietary runtime or special networking holding your workload hostage. If we vanished tomorrow, your kubectl still works.
What do I actually pay for?
Your own cloud or hardware provider, whichever you pick: Hetzner, AWS, a rack in your basement. RunOS never marks that up, not by a cent. The number you see on your provider's invoice is the number you pay. See it worked out below.

Same cluster, twelve providers. RunOS on Hetzner comes out cheapest, every time.
