Fly.io price (October 2026) and how to cancel
In the US (as of 2026-10-18), Fly.io pricing is pay-as-you-go for new organizations (no monthly platform fee). The smallest always-on Machine is about $2.19/month in low-cost regions; Managed Postgres and optional Support (from about $29/month) add more. Stop charges by scaling to zero / destroying Machines and volumes, then remove the payment method or delete the organization (Fly.io Docs: billing).
Legacy Hobby subscriptions are discontinued for new customers. Uninstalling the CLI does not cancel billing.
Organization admin required. Snapshot/export data before you destroy volumes.
