Comprehensive Guide to Judoscale Pricing Plans and Features
Overview
Judoscale has a number of pricing tiers depending on the platform and details.
The Free Plan (White Belt)
Judoscale will always have a free plan that includes all of our features. It is only be limited in how many scale events will be issued for the app. For smaller apps that just want protection against “going viral” or that just need occasional scaling, this plan will cover you.
If your app needs to scale dynamically more than 20 times per month, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.
Heroku Pricing
Our Judoscale and Rails Autoscale heroku add-ons are billed automatically via Heroku. Our pricing plans are based on the maximum number of Standard and Performance dynos you need to run at any given time. We also support Private and Shield dynos, which are priced the same as Performance dynos.
Use our pricing calculator to determine the right plan for your team.
An Example
Let’s take an app that has three processes:
| Process | Dyno Type | Autoscale Dyno Range |
|---|---|---|
| web | Perf-L | 1–3 dynos |
| worker-1 | Std-2X | 2–20 dynos |
| worker-2 | Std-2X | 1 dyno (not autoscaled) |
This setup has 20 max Standard dynos and 3 max Perf dynos. The app would need the Green Belt plan, which supports up to 20 Standard dynos and 10 Performance dynos.
Note that “worker-2” is not counted since autoscaling is not enabled. Enabling autoscaling on worker-2 would bring max Standard dynos to 21, exceeding the 20 Standard dyno limit of the Orange Belt plan. This would require either an upgrade to the Blue Belt plan or reducing the max dynos of worker-1.
Regardless of your plan, you can still manually scale your app higher via the Heroku web UI or CLI, but Judoscale will not let you set a dyno range that brings your max dynos beyond your plan limit.
Legacy Heroku Plans
Some customers may still be on a legacy plan such as “bronze-std” or “silver-perf”. These plans will continue to work, but if you need to upgrade or downgrade, you will need to choose one of the “belt” plans.
Direct account pricing
Teams using any platform other than Heroku will be billed directly by Judoscale.
We have several monthly plans based on your maximum scale across all services with autoscaling enabled. Services without autoscaling enabled do not count toward your maximum scale.
