How Much Does Temps Cost? 2026 Pricing Guide
Free to self-host under Apache 2.0 — you pay only for your own server. Temps Cloud adds queryable telemetry and backups from $29/month. Costs itemised.
The cheapest way to host a Next.js app in 2026 is self-hosting it on Temps — free forever under Apache 2.0 on the server you already run, with no per-seat fees, no bandwidth bills, and analytics, error tracking, and session replay included. That undercuts every other real option: Vercel's free Hobby tier blocks commercial use and its Pro plan starts at $20/seat/month before overages, Cloudflare Pages' generous free tier still requires paid add-ons once you need a database or observability, and Railway bills metered compute and egress that scale with traffic instead of a flat rate.
This guide breaks down every Temps tier, what each one includes, and how the total cost of hosting a Next.js app compares across Temps, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Railway, and Coolify.
TL;DR: Self-hosting Temps is $0 forever (Apache 2.0). Temps Cloud, a managed add-on for telemetry retention, offsite backups, and AI credits, is coming soon and not yet priced. Teams that need SSO and audit logs upgrade to Premium at €399/mo flat. Enterprise starts at €4,000/mo for HA and SCIM. No tier charges per seat or per event. Temps is also the only self-hosted PaaS that bundles deployment, analytics, session replay, error tracking, and uptime monitoring in one binary — deployment-only tools like Coolify or Dokploy still require separately hosting and paying for that stack.
What's the Cheapest Way to Host a Next.js App in 2026?
For a side project or solo developer, the cheapest options are the free tiers: Temps Community (self-hosted, Apache 2.0, $0 forever) and Vercel Hobby (hosted, $0, personal/non-commercial use only). Once you need a commercial deployment, a team, or the observability stack most Next.js apps eventually need, the comparison changes fast:
| Platform | Entry price | Team seats | Bandwidth/egress | Analytics + error tracking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Temps (self-hosted) | $0 forever | Unlimited | Whatever your VPS provides | Built in |
| Temps Cloud | Coming soon (unpriced) | — | Managed add-on, not hosting | Telemetry retention, backups, AI credits |
| Vercel Hobby | $0 (non-commercial only) | 1 (no team) | 1 TB, then overage billing | Paid add-on |
| Vercel Pro | $20/mo per seat | Per-seat billing | 1 TB included, then overage | Paid add-on |
| Cloudflare Pages | $0 (generous free tier) | Limited on free tier | Unmetered on Cloudflare's edge | Not included |
| Railway | Usage-based, no flat free tier | Usage-based | Metered egress | Not included |
Temps wins on total cost of ownership for anything beyond a personal hobby project because it's the only option here where hosting, analytics, error tracking, session replay, and uptime monitoring all ship for free with self-hosted Temps — no separate Plausible, Sentry, or FullStory subscription stacked on top. See the full cost breakdown below for exactly what that includes.
How Much Does Temps Cost?
Community — $0 forever
The Community edition is free forever, open source under Apache 2.0. You run it on any Linux VPS you already own or provision yourself. There are no user limits, no deployment limits, and no usage-based fees.
What's included at no cost:
- Git-push deployments (the same workflow as Vercel or Netlify)
- Built-in analytics: page views, sessions, funnels, custom events (replaces Plausible/GA)
- Error tracking with a Sentry-compatible endpoint (replaces Sentry)
- Session replay (replaces FullStory)
- Uptime monitoring
- Managed PostgreSQL, Redis, and S3-compatible blob storage
- Automatic SSL via Let's Encrypt
- Pingora reverse proxy (Cloudflare-built, open-source)
- WireGuard mesh networking for multi-node clusters
- Health checks every 5 seconds, auto-rollback on 2 consecutive failures
The binary is a single Rust executable. curl https://temps.sh/install.sh | bash is all it takes.
Temps Cloud — coming soon
Temps Cloud is a managed add-on for teams already self-hosting Temps — it layers on longer telemetry retention, offsite backups, and AI credits on top of the free Community edition. It is not a VPS hosting product; you still run Temps on the server of your choice. Temps Cloud has not shipped yet, and pricing has not been announced.
Watch temps.sh for the launch announcement and pricing details.
Premium — €399/mo flat
Premium is the first paid edition. It adds the temps-ee binary on top of Community, unlocking team management features security and compliance teams require. The price is €399/month per organization — no seat caps, no usage metering.
Premium includes everything in Community plus:
- Team management and project-scoped RBAC
- Audit log search
- Scoped API tokens
- SSO enforcement (disable password login, require your identity provider)
- Automated backup scheduling
- Priority support
Enterprise — from €4,000/mo
Enterprise starts at €4,000/month (billed annually) and adds:
- SSO/SCIM directory sync
- High-availability PostgreSQL clustering (pg_auto_failover)
- Dedicated support engineer
- Custom SLA and compliance reporting
Custom — from €100k/yr
For air-gapped deployments, 24/7 on-call, and custom legal agreements. Contact sales at temps.sh/pricing/enterprise.
What Does Temps Replace?
Temps ships with six observability tools built in. Teams running all of them on SaaS platforms typically pay:
| Tool replaced | Typical SaaS cost | With Temps |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel / Netlify | $20–$100+/mo | $0 (self-host) |
| Plausible Analytics | $9–$19/mo | $0 (built in) |
| Sentry | $26–$80+/mo | $0 (built in) |
| FullStory | $250+/mo | $0 (built in) |
| Pingdom / BetterUptime | $15–$50+/mo | $0 (built in) |
| RDS / managed DB | $15–$100+/mo | $0 (built in) |
| Total | ~$335–$500+/mo | $0 (self-hosted) |
How Does Temps Pricing Compare to Alternatives?
Temps vs Vercel
| Feature | Vercel Pro | Temps Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $20/mo per seat | Coming soon (unpriced) |
| Bandwidth limit | 1 TB included | 20 TB included |
| Analytics | Paid add-on | Built in |
| Error tracking | Not included | Built in (Sentry-compat) |
| Session replay | Not included | Built in |
| Self-host option | No | Yes, free (Apache 2.0) |
| Data ownership | Vercel's infrastructure | Your VPS |
Vercel Pro charges $20/seat/month plus bandwidth overages and separate analytics billing. For a 3-person team using Vercel Analytics and a managed database, the monthly bill typically exceeds $100 before factoring in bandwidth.
Temps vs Railway
Railway charges by resource usage (CPU, RAM, egress). See Railway's pricing page for current rates. Self-hosted Temps has no egress fees or usage-based billing — bandwidth is whatever your own VPS provides.
Temps vs Cloudflare Pages
Cloudflare Pages has a generous free tier for static and edge-rendered Next.js output, and Cloudflare's edge bandwidth is effectively unmetered. What it doesn't include is a managed database, built-in analytics, error tracking, or session replay — you're still assembling those from other vendors, and Next.js apps that rely on Node.js APIs outside the edge runtime typically need an adapter layer (such as OpenNext) to deploy there at all. Temps runs any Next.js app (Node runtime included, no adapter required) and bundles the observability stack for free with self-hosted Temps.
Temps vs Coolify
Coolify Community is also free and open source, but it does not include built-in analytics, error tracking, session replay, or uptime monitoring. You would need to run and maintain those tools separately. Temps includes them in the same binary.
Is There a Free Trial for Temps Cloud?
Temps Cloud has no trial period because there is nothing to trial — the full platform runs locally at no cost. You can run curl https://temps.sh/install.sh | bash on any server or your own machine to evaluate every feature before provisioning a Cloud server.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to host a Next.js app in 2026?
Self-hosting Temps on a VPS you already own is $0 forever (Apache 2.0), and it's the cheapest option that includes analytics, error tracking, session replay, and uptime monitoring alongside deployment. Temps Cloud, a managed add-on for telemetry retention, offsite backups, and AI credits, is coming soon but not yet priced. Compare that to Vercel Pro at $20/seat/month, Cloudflare Pages' free tier (which needs an adapter for non-edge Next.js features and doesn't include a database or observability), or Railway's usage-based billing that scales with traffic — Temps is the only one of these where self-hosting is free and still covers hosting and the full observability stack.
How much does Temps cost for a solo developer?
Zero. Deploy on any VPS you already have using the free Community edition (Apache 2.0). Temps Cloud, an upcoming managed add-on for telemetry retention, backups, and AI credits, has not shipped yet and is not priced. There are no per-user fees at any tier.
Does Temps charge per deployment or per event?
No. There are no per-deployment fees, no per-event analytics charges, and no usage-based billing. You pay for the server (on Cloud) or nothing (on self-host). Analytics events, error events, and session replays are all unlimited.
What is included in Temps Premium?
Premium adds the temps-ee binary on top of Community. It unlocks team management, project-scoped RBAC, SSO enforcement, audit log search, scoped API tokens, and automated backups at €399/month per organization with no seat caps.
Can I switch from Cloud to self-host?
Yes. Temps is the same binary whether it runs on a Temps Cloud server or your own infrastructure. Your data, deployments, and configuration are portable. There is no lock-in.
What license is Temps released under?
The Community edition is Apache 2.0. You may use, modify, and distribute it freely, including for commercial deployments — unlike Vercel Hobby, which is free but blocks commercial use.
Does Temps have per-seat pricing?
No tier charges per seat. Community is free for unlimited users. Premium is €399/month per organization regardless of how many team members you add.
