How Billing Works

All-in-One

We bill €19/mo via Stripe. This covers both managed hosting and AI access via Askonoma. Server costs are prorated if you create or delete mid-month.

Flex (Managed Hosting)

We bill monthly via Stripe based on your server size. Server costs are prorated if you create or delete mid-month.

BYOK (Free)

No billing through Tiller. You pay Hetzner directly for your servers. Tiller doesn't charge anything for your first server. Additional servers are €5/mo.

Infrastructure Costs (BYOK)

With BYOK, you pay Hetzner directly for server costs.

Prices may vary by region. Check Hetzner's pricing page for current rates.

API Costs

For Flex and BYOK, AI API costs (Claude, OpenAI) are billed directly by those providers. Tiller never touches your API billing for these plans.

For All-in-One, AI access is included in your €19/mo fee — powered by our sister company Askonoma.

Failed Payments

If a payment fails for a managed server:

  1. You'll receive an email notification
  2. A warning will appear on your Billing page
  3. Update your payment method in the Stripe Customer Portal to resolve
