Frequently Asked Questions

PlayFlow Cloud meters your server usage to the exact second. When you start a server, we begin counting the usage time and stop the moment the server is terminated. At the end of your billing cycle, we calculate your total usage time and charge accordingly. This provides maximum cost efficiency compared to services that round up to the nearest minute or hour.

There is no minimum usage requirement for server instances. Whether you run a server for 30 seconds or 30 days, you’re only charged for the exact time it was running.

No, PlayFlow Cloud is entirely pay-as-you-go. There are no contracts, minimum spending requirements, or termination fees. You can start or stop using our services at any time without penalty.

Each PlayFlow account includes a generous monthly allowance for data transfer. For most indie and small-scale games, this allowance is sufficient to cover all bandwidth needs. For games with high bandwidth requirements, additional data transfer is charged at competitive rates. Detailed information on bandwidth pricing will be available soon.

Yes, for large-scale deployments or games with specific requirements, please contact our sales team to discuss custom plans and potential volume discounts. We can tailor solutions for studios of any size and games of any scale.
