Storage and bandwidth

50GB of database storage is included in your membership. Storage past 50GB is $1/GB per month. Bandwidth is unlimited — no data-transfer or egress fees, ever.

Two numbers people ask about before they scale up: how much data can I store, and will heavy traffic hit me with a bandwidth bill? Here's the straight answer on both.

Storage: 50GB included

Your membership includes 50GB of database storage. That's a lot of room — most apps never come close, even with plenty of users and records.

If you ever go past 50GB, the extra is billed at $1 per GB per month. It's a simple, predictable rate on the storage you actually use over the included amount — not a surprise, and not something a normal app runs into.

Bandwidth: unlimited

Bandwidth is unlimited. Serve as much traffic as you want — there are no data-transfer fees and no egress charges. This is a real advantage over hosts that meter every gigabyte your app sends out and quietly grow your bill as your app gets popular. On Overskill, a viral day doesn't turn into a bandwidth invoice.

The honest nuance

To be precise about it: what's tiny-metered isn't the size of the traffic (bandwidth) — it's the specific backend work your app does on a request, like AI calls or sending email. Ordinary page loads, asset downloads, and users moving around your app are absorbed in your subscription. So unlimited bandwidth is accurate: moving data in and out of your app costs you nothing. See what actually uses credits for the short list of things that do meter.

A worked example

Your app stores 3GB of records and images, and gets 200,000 page views in a big launch week — a lot of data flowing out to visitors. Your storage is nowhere near 50GB, so storage costs you nothing. All that traffic is bandwidth, which is unlimited, so it costs you nothing either. The only thing that could have moved your bill that week is backend work like AI or email — not the size of the crowd.

What this means in practice

• Don't worry about traffic volume. More visitors doesn't mean a bigger hosting bill.
• Do keep an eye on storage if your app stores large files or a lot of records — but 50GB is generous, and overage is a clear $1/GB/month if you ever cross it.
• Watch AI, email, and SMS, not bandwidth — those are the usage-based costs that scale with what your app does.
