--- title: Discontinued Plans layout: docs sitemap: false nav: firecracker author: kcmartin date: 2026-08-14 --- ## Overview Fly.io no longer offers plans to new customers. If you purchased a Launch or Scale plan before October 7, 2024, you can remain on those plans unless you convert to Pay As You Go, delete your payment method, or otherwise stop using Fly.io. This page covers what those discontinued plans include and how they're billed. If you're not on a legacy plan, see [Pricing](/docs/about/pricing/) and [Billing](/docs/about/billing/) instead. --- ## Legacy free allowances Fly.io has deprecated plans as of October 7, 2024, but is still honoring them for users who purchased them prior to that date. The following resources were included for free on the Hobby (deprecated), Launch, and Scale plans, and are still honored for any organizations that were on these plans before we sunset them: * Up to 3 shared-cpu-1x 256mb VMs * 3GB persistent volume storage (total) Outbound data transfer: * 100 GB North America & Europe * 30 GB Asia Pacific, Oceania & South America * 30 GB Africa & India If your plan includes free allowances, we subtract them off the top of your usage total. Once your usage exceeds the free allowance for any given resource, we start metering usage of that resource for billing purposes. --- ## Legacy plan billing <div class="note icon"> Customers who received a $5 free trial usage credit when signing up for the $5/mo Hobby plan will be billed monthly after that credit is used up. </div> Legacy plan billing, and any included usage, is pro-rated over the month. For example, if you signed up for a Scale plan on September 15th, then you'd be charged $14.50 (half of the $29/mo plan cost) right away and you'll have $14.50 of usage included up to September 30th. Then you'll be charged $29 at the start of October and have $29/mo of usage included for that billing cycle. --- ## Paid Hobby plan with Free Trial credit If you signed up for the now deprecated $5/month paid Hobby plan prior the release of the Pay As You Go plan, you got a one-time $5 free trial credit to let you test-drive Fly.io at no cost. When the free trial credit was used up, we automatically placed your organization on the $5/month Hobby plan, which included $5/month of usage and free allowances. There are no free allowances during the free trial. We'll send you an email when your free trial credit is used up and you won't be charged before that. The free trial credit doesn't expire and applies only to the default (“personal”) organization that we created for you on sign-up. To change your plan to the Pay As You Go plan, go to the [**Organizations** page](https://fly.io/organizations) in the dashboard, click the organization name to change, then click **Choose Pay As You Go**. If you change your plan, you won't be able to return to the paid Hobby Plan. --- ## Legacy (Free) Hobby plan If you were on the free Hobby plan at the time that the paid Hobby plan became the default for new organizations, your plan is now called the Legacy Hobby plan. Your costs stay the same as they were, with no monthly subscription fee, and no included usage beyond the free resource allowances. If you change your plan, you won't be able to return to the Legacy Hobby Plan. --- ## **Related reading** - [Fly.io Resource Pricing](/docs/about/pricing/) What Fly.io charges for compute, storage, and network today. - [Billing for Fly.io](/docs/about/billing/) How invoicing, payment methods, and usage tracking work. - [Cost Management](/docs/about/cost-management/) Best practices for estimating, monitoring, and controlling your spend.
