Pay once, deploy forever

Correct. Your first website project and first backend database are free forever, and each additional project is a one-time $19 — you never pay again for that slot. Re-deploys, rollbacks, SSL certificates, and preview deploys are always free. The only recurring prices are optional: a $29/mo dedicated managed server and the $9/mo Mail Boost email upgrade.

One website project (deploy from GitHub or any public repo URL, custom domain, automatic HTTPS, unlimited re-deploys) and one backend database instance — a managed Postgres with an instant REST API, row-level security, end-user authentication, edge functions, file storage, realtime subscriptions, and 200 transactional emails per day. Every platform feature is included; nothing is paywalled.

Each slot permanently adds one more website project. Buying any slot also marks your account as paid, which raises your backend limit to 5 database instances and unlocks bigger instance sizes (512MB and 1GB). Slots never expire and re-deploys never cost anything.

A dedicated server provisioned and operated for you — your deploys and databases run on isolated hardware instead of shared capacity, with more headroom (2GB RAM). Cancel anytime; your projects migrate back to shared capacity.

Email runs on Pulsar’s own mail servers with DKIM signing — no third-party email service involved. Free accounts send 200 emails/day, paid accounts 1,000/day, and Mail Boost ($9/mo) raises it to 5,000/day. Verified custom sending domains are included on every tier.

Full-stack apps end to end: push a GitHub repo (or any repo URL) for a live HTTPS site in under 60 seconds with preview deploys and rollbacks, and attach a managed Postgres that ships an instant REST API with row-level security, end-user auth (password + email OTP), realtime change feeds over websockets, edge functions, S3-compatible storage, and transactional email — the website and its whole backend on one platform, one bill.

Nothing happens to one-time slot purchases — they are permanent. If you cancel the managed server or Mail Boost subscriptions, you keep everything else; your workloads move back to shared capacity and email reverts to your base daily limit.

No. There are no metered charges of any kind — no bandwidth bills, no build-minute packs, no per-seat fees, no overage surprises. The price on this page is the whole price.

Pulsar is built to run on a single VPS and the code lives on GitHub. The hosted platform at pulsardeploy.com is the zero-setup way to use it; self-hosting docs are evolving alongside it.
