Cost calculator

Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

Pipe Network started with distributed content delivery and now offers a broader infrastructure workspace.

  • Firestarter object storage and the PipeBox file manager.
  • Ubuntu virtual machines and WebAssembly website hosting.
  • Persistent application state and a restricted-access KV cache.

AI inference uses a separate account and bill. Choose the storage, hosting or delivery product your application needs and budget its own usage meters. Public CDN coverage and a current delivery tariff need separate confirmation.

Network

Ask for current delivery locations before planning a CDN accelerator deployment. Check current production coverage and test performance with your actual audience.

Confirm storage endpoints, hosting locality, failover and audience performance for your product. Confirm the storage location with the supplier rather than relying on the region configured in your S3 client. Older accelerator claims should be checked against the current service contract.

Hosting and application data

Hosting serves static files and Spin-compatible WebAssembly HTTP apps with SQLite. Workers sleep when idle; requests have a fifteen-second deadline and no general outbound networking. Check the hosting location and delivery path before deploying a latency-sensitive application.

Durable Objects provides JSON, SQL and file primitives. It does not run application classes, WebSockets or alarms. KV is a disposable, restricted-preview cache with a subset of RESP2 commands, rather than full Redis compatibility.

Storage and delivery

Firestarter supports scoped S3 credentials, byte ranges and multipart uploads. Confirm its limits before migration; versioning, lifecycle rules, managed KMS and object lock are unsupported. For a CDN accelerator, ask about required protocols, purge controls, logs and protection separately from storage.

Pricing

Prepaid service rates

Prices below are USDC; 1 TB means 1,000 GB.

ServicePublished meter
Object storage3 USDC/TB read; 15 USDC/TB written, including replication
KV preview1 USDC/million key operations plus read data
Durable Objects1 USDC/million accepted commands plus 5 USDC/TB of full checkpoints

Checkpoint charges include reads and are rounded per command; they are not a monthly capacity price. Restricted availability and limits matter.

Hosting and VMs

Hosting costs 0, 5 or 19 USDC per thirty-day cycle, with increasing site, request, transfer and SQLite allowances. Paid terms require manual renewal; a purchase does not reset the usage cycle. VMs start at 20 USDC per calendar month and require capacity confirmation.

The handbook calculator uses USD and delivery requests. Use a USD delivery quote in the calculator and add separate service charges as extras. Do not substitute a token-sale price, storage-write rate or checkpoint meter for CDN delivery. AI inference is billed separately.

Developer tools

Existing tools

Firestarter supports AWS CLI, boto3 and JavaScript S3 clients with path-style addressing and SigV4. It implements a defined subset of S3, so test checksums, large objects and unsupported bucket features.

Deployment and state

Hosting has account-scoped deployment keys for CI, bundle uploads, migrations and publishing. Code rollback does not reverse database migrations. Current KV clients use the documented command subset; Durable Objects uses a namespace API and request identifiers for safe recovery.

Terraform, a general CDN SDK and an Akamai-compatible API are unconfirmed. Use the current guides instead of the former promised SDK release date.

When it fits

  • Projects evaluating prepaid S3-compatible storage with the documented limits.
  • Small WebAssembly HTTP applications that fit hosting runtime and renewal constraints.
  • Teams separating storage, state, compute, inference and delivery budgets.

Before you choose

  • Test the supported S3 and RESP2 commands before migrating storage or state. KV provisioning is restricted.
  • Hosting is unsuitable for long-running jobs or workloads needing unrestricted outbound networking.
  • Get service-specific delivery coverage and support terms before relying on a CDN accelerator.
  • Budget storage, hosting, compute and delivery using their separate meters.

History

In September 2024, Multicoin announced a USD 10 million Series A investment in Permissionless Labs, the maker of Pipe Network. Its announcement described forthcoming private beta and node testnet access.

Current Pipe offerings span storage, hosting, compute and application state. Use the current product documentation and service terms when planning a deployment.
