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.
What's included
Every workspace includes:
- 50GB of database storage — the records your apps store: users, orders, posts, bookings, everything your apps write.
- 100GB of file storage — the images, video and documents you upload.
- Unlimited bandwidth — however much traffic your apps serve.
Those allowances are for your whole workspace, pooled across every app in it. They're the same on every plan — storage isn't something we make you upgrade for.
One separate limit worth knowing: a single app's database can hold up to 10GB. That's a technical ceiling on one app, not a billing one. If one app is genuinely approaching 10GB of records, it's usually a sign the work belongs in more than one app — ask us and we'll help you split it.
If you go past the included amounts
Most apps never get close, but we'd rather publish the numbers than surprise you:
- Database storage past 50GB: $1 per GB per month.
- File storage past 100GB: $0.05 per GB per month.
Both are charged from your credits, based on the most you stored during the month — not a peak-of-a-peak, and never on storage inside your included amounts. So overage
is a real thing that exists and is priced up front; it just isn't 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 12GB of uploaded images, and gets 200,000 page views in a big launch week — a lot of data flowing out to visitors. Your database storage is nowhere near 50GB and your files are nowhere near 100GB, 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 of records and 100GB of files is generous, and the rate past either is published above.
- Watch AI, email, and SMS, not bandwidth — those are the usage-based costs that scale with what your app does.
