# Kubernetes pricing

> Worker node plans, HA control-plane fee and storage-node rates

<sub>Updated August 24, 2026</sub>

The single-master control plane is free. You pay per worker node, plus \$30/month for the optional HA control plane and per-GB fees for storage nodes. Prices below are per node; live values come from the [pricing API](/api-reference/kubernetes/list-node-plans).

## Worker node plans

| 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 |

Every worker and storage node has a 25 GB NVMe root disk for the OS, container images, logs and ephemeral storage. Persistent volumes come from [storage nodes](/products/build/kubernetes/concepts/storage), priced below.

| Item                                     | Price                                 |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| HA control plane (3 masters, 2 gateways) | \$30.00/month                         |
| Storage node data disk (Longhorn)        | \$0.08/GB/month (10–1000 GB per node) |

Pay-as-you-go bills hourly per existing node; subscriptions commit the node set monthly — see [Billing model](/products/build/kubernetes/concepts/billing-model). Kubernetes itself uses about 1 GB of memory per node — prefer fewer, larger nodes over many small ones.
