Diploi vs Scala Hosting

Diploi uses a prepaid, usage-based pricing model. You top up a balance, and that balance pays for everything: the hours your deployments are running, the storage they use, and your AI usage. This applies to development, testing, and production environments alike. There is no bill at the end of the month, you only ever spend the balance you have topped up.

You can top up your balance manually at any time, or enable auto top-up so your balance is refilled automatically when it runs low. The Pro and Ultra plans additionally add a fixed amount to your balance every month, and come with increased limits and extra features.

All plans use the same balance and the same usage-based rates. Pay as you go has no monthly charge, you top up whenever you like. Pro and Ultra automatically credit their full monthly price to your balance.

AI usage is metered and drawn from the same balance as your deployments, there is no separate AI subscription. This covers all the ways you can use AI on Diploi: the Prompt view, the preinstalled Opencode CLI, and the custom AI model endpoint for your own tools.
