Pricing

Muhkoo is usage-based: you pay a flat platform fee for your plan plus the usage you actually drive. The backend is serverless, so idle is $0 and egress is $0 — nothing runs (or bills) when your app is quiet.

Plans

Plan	Platform fee	Usage	For
Free	$0	Hard caps (below)	Building, prototyping, small projects
Pay-as-you-go	$15/mo	Metered, no caps	Apps in production
Small Business	$199/mo	Metered, no caps	Higher limits + support
Enterprise	Custom	Custom	Volume, custom terms, SLAs

Paid plans add the platform fee on top of the same metered usage rates — the fee buys raised limits and support, not different unit prices. Manage your plan from the developer portal.

Note

Changing plans applies to new checkouts; an existing subscription keeps its current platform fee until it’s re-subscribed.

Usage rates

Every plan meters the same axes. Usage is attributed to your app by its app key.

Axis	Price	Unit
Requests	$2.00	per million
Messages	$1.00	per million
Object storage (files)	$0.03	per GB-month
KV storage	$0.40	per GB-month
KV reads	$1.00	per million
KV writes	$3.00	per million
Database rows read	$1.00	per million
Database rows written	$3.00	per million
Database storage	$0.40	per GB-month
AI inference (agents)	per model	per neuron

A few things worth knowing so the numbers aren’t surprising:

• KV storage costs more than file storage ($0.40 vs $0.03 per GB-month) because KV is a fast, queryable-by-key store, not bulk blob storage. Put large files in client.storage, not KV.
• Message fan-out is per-recipient. Sending into a Space with N members meters as N messages — the cost really is N×. (Choosing the right primitive helps keep this intentional.)
• Operations stack. A single KV write bills a request and a KV write and KV storage-at-rest — they’re genuinely separate costs.
• AI inference is billed in neurons, a compute unit computed per call from the chosen model’s input/output rates, so each model reflects its true cost. The full catalog with per-model pricing is at GET /api/apps/agent-models.

Tip

The pricing estimator on muhkoo.com turns expected traffic into a monthly figure and compares it against running the same workload elsewhere — counting the idle compute that traditional clouds bill 24/7.

Free-tier limits

The Free plan is generous enough to build and ship a small app, with hard caps that protect you from a surprise bill:

Resource	Free cap (per month)
Requests	10,000
Messages	1,000
KV reads / writes	1,000 each
Database rows read / written	5,000 each
Storage at rest (files + KV + DB)	100 MB

When a cap is reached, the offending write is rejected with a 402 and an upgrade link — reads and deletes keep working so you’re never locked out of your own data. Agents and serverless functions are paid features and are unavailable on Free.

Free accounts during the alpha

Free accounts are offered from a limited pool during the alpha. If the pool is full you can still register and sign in; creating a new app needs a paid plan until a slot frees up. Paid plans are never gated this way.
