Paid plans start at €3/mo.
UpCloud starts at €3/month for Starter, while Premium is €5/month and Cloud Native is €12/month, according to its pricing page checked November 7, 2026. Those are listed monthly prices, but Cloud Server plans are billed hourly from the first hour, up to 28 days per month; no annual billing is listed. Add storage, public IPs or Windows licensing to the server price. GPU servers are separately priced by the hour, with some model prices unpublished.

03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Development and cost-conscious workloads | Starter | Starts at €3/month and lists 1–16 GB memory, 1–4 CPU cores and 10–50 GB standard storage. |
| Production and business-critical workloads | Premium | Starts at €5/month and lists a 99.999% SLA, 1000 Mbps internet and IPv4 included. |

04Is UpCloud worth the money?
UpCloud is competitively easy to enter at €3/month, and the grid includes production-oriented and split compute/storage options. But the headline price is not the full bill: storage tiers, IPs and Windows licensing are separate, and hourly billing can make comparisons with fixed monthly or annual cloud quotes less direct. The listed 99.999% SLA applies to Premium, Cloud Native and the priced GPU options; Starter lists 99.99%. We’d compare a workload-specific estimate before moving.
