FAQ

Questions about plans and billing.

What happens after the trial?

After your 14-day free trial ends, you'll be charged for your selected plan and billing period (monthly or annual). Your servers and apps continue running without interruption.

Can I cancel during the trial?

Yes. Cancel anytime during the trial and you won't be charged. No contracts, no commitments.

Do I need a credit card?

Yes, a credit card is required to start your free trial. You won't be charged until the trial period ends.

Can I change plans later?

Absolutely. Upgrade or downgrade from the billing page at any time. Changes take effect immediately.

What happens to my servers if I cancel?

They keep running. Your servers, apps, and databases live on your own cloud provider account. You just lose the Potions dashboard and automated deployments.

How does Potions compare to a PaaS?

PaaS platforms charge per-resource and scale your bill as you grow. With Potions, you deploy to your own VPS - you get a whole server at a fixed cloud provider price, and Potions handles the rest. No per-dyno pricing, no surprise bills, no vendor lock-in.

What if I need more than 25 servers?

Add them from your billing page at any time. Scale includes 25 servers, and each additional server is $4/month ($40/year on annual billing), prorated from the day you add it.

Do I need Docker?

No. Potions builds native Mix releases and deploys them directly. No Dockerfiles, no images, no orchestration layer.
