Northflank

Northflank has no intro price and no renewal price: each compute plan has one monthly price, prorated to the second, with no minimum term on pay-as-you-go. The smallest plan (0.1 shared vCPU, 256 MB) is $2.70/mo, and custom sizes cost $0.01667 per vCPU and $0.00833 per GB of memory an hour. Disk costs $0.15 per GB a month and outbound traffic $0.06 per GB, with free ingress. The pricing FAQ says you're charged at the end of each monthly cycle, that estimates exclude VAT and GST, and that tax is collected in some countries.

The terms say you sign with Northflank Ltd, under the laws of the United Kingdom, with the courts of England and Wales. The site footer gives company number 11918540 and the registered office at 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU. The About page names Will Stewart as co-founder and CEO and Frederik Brix as co-founder and CTO. We didn't see a founding year; the homepage says teams have used Northflank since 2019.

A public status page tracks 11 components, such as the app, the API, builds, networking and certificates, each with a 90-day uptime bar. On 21 Oct 2026 it showed all systems operational, with 99.95% uptime for the platform group and 99.82% for the app. Its notice history listed four resolved incidents from 5 Aug to 20 Oct 2026, including a partial control plane degradation of 6 hours 50 minutes on 20 Oct, with older pages behind it. The terms promise only commercially reasonable efforts to stay available; an SLA is listed for Enterprise.

The pricing page lists basic email support on all plans, and the docs give support@northflank.com. The contact page gives contact@northflank.com and a contact form. The plan table lists support levels from "Best effort" to "Proactive", and Enterprise adds 24/7 support with an SLA and a dedicated Slack channel. We didn't see support hours or response times for the self-serve plans, or a phone line or live chat, on the pages we read.

The terms say all purchases and resource use are non-refundable, so there is no money-back period. They also say Northflank may change prices at any time, without a stated notice period, and we didn't see auto-renewal rules. Usage is billed monthly and the Sandbox plan is free. The docs explain how to delete a team or account from its settings and say any pending invoice and remaining usage are billed on deletion; the terms themselves don't describe how to cancel.

For databases (addons) you can set up to three backup schedules, hourly, daily and weekly, plus manual backups. You choose how many days each backup is kept, or keep one forever. You restore a backup yourself from the Backups page, and database dumps can be downloaded as .gz or .zst files; global backups can be restored or forked into another project or region. Volume backups are manual only, and we didn't see a price for backup storage or restores. The pricing page lists backups on pay-as-you-go.

TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt are created automatically and renewed before they expire, including wildcard domains; the docs don't say whether they cost anything. You can turn on two-factor login with an authenticator app in your account settings, and the security page says organisation admins can require it. The control plane and paid clusters sit behind Google Cloud Armor for DDoS protection, Snyk checks code dependencies, and the site lists SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA. We didn't see malware scanning on the pages we read.

The docs list 17 managed-cloud regions, some by city (Frankfurt, Zurich, Ohio, California, Delhi) and others only by area, such as Europe West or Asia East. You pick the region when you create a project and can't change it later; with bring-your-own-cloud, workloads run in your own cloud account. The security page says the control plane runs on Google Cloud in London or Amsterdam. The privacy policy mentions an EEA representative without naming it, and we didn't see a GDPR data processing agreement on the pages we read.

Every compute plan lists vCPU and memory as numbers next to its monthly and hourly price, from 0.1 shared vCPU and 256 MB for $2.70/mo up to 32 dedicated vCPU and 488 GB. The quotas docs give default limits such as 8 vCPU and 16 GiB per instance, 2 GiB of temporary disk, 100 projects and 500 services. Disk is $0.15 per GB a month. The free Sandbox includes 2 services, 1 database and 2 cron jobs; the plan table uses "∞" for counts such as projects and users, and the docs give the default quotas.

You can download database dumps from the Backups page, and the docs explain how to copy files off containers and volumes with the CLI, rsync, curl or wget. Services build from your own Git repository or container image, so your code stays with you. The account deletion guide tells you to export your data first and says deletion is permanent. Northflank connects domains you already own and we didn't see domain registration, so there is no domain to transfer out. We didn't see a fee for leaving.
