Questions.

Why is self-hosting free?

A self-hosted install never touches our infrastructure — no account, no relay, no registry. It costs us nothing, so charging for it would be charging for nothing. It also means you can run the whole IDE without us and see that nothing is held hostage.

What am I actually paying $15 for?

The address and everything behind it: TLS on your own name, the gate that keeps everyone else off your machines, the registry and picker that make every box one address, and the cross-machine agent fleet. Your hardware does the computing, so there are no compute fees.

Is bandwidth metered?

No. The paired plan carries a fair-use allowance of around 50 GiB a month through the relay — comfortably above what a heavy month of daily use actually measures. If something looks unusual we will email you first; there is no surprise overage bill.

When can I rent a machine?

Soon. Flowa machines are billed by the hour, stop automatically when idle with your disks preserved, and include the paired address in the rate rather than stacking it on top. Shapes and prices will be published when the tier ships.

Bring a machine. We’ll do the rest.

Sign in, pair a box you own, and pick up the IDE at your own address in minutes.
