> Old and new fortrabbit pricing side by side. Component-based plans replace the old stack tiers and come out cheaper for most projects.


## Product changes affecting pricing

The following structural changes in the new platform directly affect pricing:

### Component based pricing model

The new platform adopts a component-based pricing structure, similar to the former Pro Stack. This allows for individual scaling of resources, enabling you to pay only for what you need.

| Platform               | Model      |
| ---------------------- | ---------- |
| Old platform Uni Stack | 3 plans    |
| Old platform Pro Stack | Components |
| New platform           | Components |

Each app books what it uses, from a CMS on a LAMP stack to a flat-file site without a database.

### No more company plans

The old platform had [company plans](https://www.fortrabbit.com/old-platform/company-plans): lower rates for solo developers, higher ones for larger teams. The model confused many customers. The new platform has no company plans, and all [collaboration features](/platform/collaboration/intro) are included at no extra cost.

### New backup options

The [backup component](/platform/components/backups) adds one-click restores and backups on demand. Compared by the number of backups alone, it can cost more than before. Retention policies are planned.

### Autoscaling

MySQL, storage and traffic [autoscale](/platform/billing/autoscaling): when one of them runs full, only that component grows. On the Uni Stack, one exceeded limit meant the next larger plan. A cost cap keeps the budget predictable.

### New XS options

XS plans fit small projects such as staging environments, weekend projects and small client sites. The smallest combination starts at €2.50 / $2.50.

### Traffic is a component

On the old platform, 50 GB of traffic were included, and each additional 5 GB cost €1, often unexpectedly. On the new platform, [traffic](/platform/components/traffic) is a component with plans that can be capped or autoscale.

## Universal Stack mapping

The following new platform plan combinations roughly match former Uni App plans. Uni Apps included 50 GB of traffic: Light and Plus use the 64 GiB traffic plan, Standard the 32 GiB plan to stay near its old price. Standard and Plus included cron jobs, so their combinations add the [jobs component](/platform/components/jobs).

### Light plan equivalent

Formerly €5 per month.

| Component | Spec | Price |
| :--- | ---: | ---: |
| PHP XS | 128 MiB memory | €1 |
| MySQL SM | 256 MiB storage | €2 |
| Storage SM | 1 GiB storage | €1 |
| Traffic SM | 64 GiB traffic | €1 |
| Backups XS | 1 backup | €0.50 |
| | **total** | **€5.50** |

Smaller MySQL and storage plans lower the entry price further.

### Standard plan equivalent

Formerly €15 per month.

| Component | Spec | Price |
| :--- | ---: | ---: |
| PHP SM | 256 MiB memory | €2 |
| MySQL MD | 512 MiB storage | €4 |
| Storage LG | 4 GiB storage | €4 |
| Traffic XS | 32 GiB traffic | €0.50 |
| Backups SM | 3 backups | €4 |
| Jobs XS | 128 MiB memory | €1 |
| | **total** | **€15.50** |

Most apps need less than the exact equivalent. A smaller combination costs less.

### Plus plan equivalent

Formerly €30 per month.

| Component | Spec | Price |
| :--- | ---: | ---: |
| PHP MD | 512 MiB memory | €4 |
| MySQL LG | 1 GiB storage | €8 |
| Storage XL | 8 GiB storage | €8 |
| Traffic SM | 64 GiB traffic | €1 |
| Backups MD | 6 backups | €8 |
| Jobs XS | 128 MiB memory | €1 |
| | **total** | **€30** |
