Salad.io requires an active, valid credit card on file for most accounts. This is primarily a means to prevent abuse and ensure that payment can be collected at the end of the month. Charges are calculated based on the hardware resources that are dedicated to your application while your container is running on one of their machines. The current rate for each type of hardware can be found on their pricing page.

Salad.io bills for the time that the selected hardware resources are dedicated to your application. Usage is tracked per second. You only pay for the time that the hardware is available to be used by your application, you will never pay for Cold Boot time.

Salad.io will charge the payment method on file each time your bill reaches $200. This helps mitigate fraud on the platform. If you use a high volume of compute and have an account in good standing, this requirement may be waived. If a payment fails, you will be notified by email. If a valid payment method has not been added to your account, your deployments will be terminated. Any remaining balance will be billed at the end of the month.
