One bill for your whole backend
Start free and ship your app. Every tier bundles everything — managed PostgreSQL database, image / video / audio storage, the typed SDK, the MCP server, and the Agent Skill — for one price. Storage isn't billed separately. The MCP server isn't an add-on. No surprises.

Pricing questions
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The Free tier needs no credit card — you only add billing when you choose to move to a paid tier.
What counts as a request?
Every read, write, or file operation your app makes through the SDK counts as one request.
Is everything still one bill?
Yes. Your database, file storage, and usage are all on a single Cradler bill — there is never a separate invoice for storage or bandwidth.
Can I change tiers later?
Yes. You can move up or down at any time, and your projects, data, and keys stay exactly where they are.
