Billing and pricing

You manage your payment settings in the Cloudfleet Console. To open them, go to the payment settings page.

Billing cycle

Cloudfleet Kubernetes Engine (CFKE) plans are billed monthly. Each plan has a flat monthly base fee that includes a set number of vCPUs, plus a per-vCPU fee for usage above that allotment. Billing cycles follow the calendar month. Cloudfleet issues each invoice on the 1st of the month for the previous month’s usage. If you start mid-month, your first invoice covers only the days since you started.

You need a payment method at signup. Every new account receives €200 in credit, valid for 30 days and applied to your entire bill.

Organization types

Every Cloudfleet organization has a type, which you choose during signup:

• Personal: for individuals. Invoices use your name.
• Business: for legal entities. Invoices use your company’s legal name. You can add a VAT or tax ID so that taxes are handled correctly. Business organizations can also pay by SEPA Direct Debit.

The organization type determines your invoicing details and which payment methods are available. It does not restrict which platform features or cluster tiers you can use.

Payment methods

To create an organization, you need a billing address and a payment method. You can add, change, or remove payment methods on the payment settings page. Cloudfleet accepts:

• Credit and debit cards: available to all organizations.
• SEPA Direct Debit: available to business organizations, for payments in euros within the SEPA area.

Promotional credits

As part of customer support initiatives, such as the Migration Acceleration Program, we offer promotional credits to help users get started and grow on Cloudfleet.

Two types of credits are currently available: credit and discount. The credit type applies a fixed euro amount to each monthly invoice. The discount type applies a percentage reduction to the invoice. Both types can span multiple months. For example, a code with a €100 credit over 3 months reduces each monthly invoice by €100, for a total credit of €300.

Credits may be limited to specific products, such as the control plane fee, the per-vCPU fee for Fleets and self-managed nodes, or Cloudfleet Container Registry storage.

Users can redeem promo codes in the Cloudfleet Console. Unused or remaining credit from a given month does not carry over to the next billing cycle. You cannot stack multiple promotional codes that include percentage discounts within a single billing cycle. The system automatically rejects them.
