Kubernetes pricing - Raff

_{Updated August 27, 2026} The single-master control plane is free. You pay per worker node, plus $30/month for the optional HA control plane. Persistent storage is not part of the cluster price — PersistentVolumeClaims are billed per GB as you create them. Prices below are per node; live values come from the pricing API.

Worker node plans

Two CPU tiers, same convention as VM plans: Shared for general workloads, CPU-Optimized with a much higher CPU commitment for steady, compute-heavy workloads (databases, CI runners, batch processing).

Shared CPU

Plan	vCPU	Memory	$/month	$/hour
K8s Starter	1	2 GB	$9.99	$0.013875
K8s Standard	2	4 GB	$13.99	$0.019431
K8s Performance	4	8 GB	$30.99	$0.043042
K8s High Memory	8	16 GB	$59.99	$0.083319
K8s Large	8	32 GB	$115.99	$0.161097
K8s Scale	16	64 GB	$229.99	$0.319431

CPU-Optimized

Plan	vCPU	Memory	$/month	$/hour
K8s CO Standard	2	4 GB	$27.99	$0.038875
K8s CO Performance	4	8 GB	$49.99	$0.069431
K8s CO High Memory	8	16 GB	$89.99	$0.124986
K8s CO Large	8	32 GB	$146.99	$0.204153
K8s CO Scale	16	32 GB	$183.99	$0.255542

Every worker has a 25 GB NVMe root disk for the OS, container images, logs and ephemeral storage. Persistent volumes are Raff Volumes provisioned by your PVCs, priced below.

Add-ons

Item	Price
HA control plane (3 masters, 2 gateways)	$30.00/month
Persistent volume storage (`raff-block` PVCs)	$0.08/GB/month, billed hourly (10 GB–10 TB per volume)

You pay for exactly the storage your claims request — every GB billed is a GB you can use. Pay-as-you-go bills hourly per existing node; subscriptions commit the node set monthly, with PVC storage always billed hourly on top — see Billing model. Kubernetes itself uses about 1 GB of memory per node — prefer fewer, larger nodes over many small ones.
