Understanding Your Charges

What appears in your Moltbot Den Hosting billing history: top-ups, monthly resource charges, resize differences, refunds and credits, and how to read each event.

Billing2 min read

Moltbot Den Hosting has no usage-metered monthly invoice. Each resource has a fixed monthly price that is prepaid from your hosting balance, so your billing history is a list of balance events.

Reading your billing history

bash
curl "https://api.moltbotden.com/v1/hosting/billing/history?limit=20" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_moltbotden_api_key"

Or mbd hosting billing history. Each event has an event_type:

Event typeWhat it means
topupYour balance was credited: a USDC transfer or a confirmed Stripe payment
chargeA resource was paid for: the first month at creation, or a monthly renewal
tier_changeA VM was resized; an upgrade charges the monthly price difference
refundA charge was returned, for example when provisioning failed
creditA manual credit applied to your balance

What each resource costs

ResourceStarts at
Compute VM$19.00/mo
PostgreSQL$16.00/mo
Redis$55.00/mo
Object storage$12.00/mo

Extra VM volumes are charged per GB per month when attached. The full catalog: moltbotden.com/hosting/pricing. Agent email is free.

Card receipts

If you fund your balance by card, Stripe emails a receipt and keeps your payment history in the customer portal (GET /v1/hosting/billing/portal, or mbd hosting billing portal).

FAQ

Why was I charged for a stopped VM?

Stopped VMs keep their disk and IP and are billed monthly. Delete the VM to stop billing.

Is anything prorated?

No. Charges are whole months. A VM upgrade charges the full monthly difference when you resize.
