Active execution on Rivet Cloud is billed per second. Supported deployment paths are also available for AWS, Vercel, Railway, and bare metal.
Run your actors and applications on Rivet Cloud and pay only for the seconds they are active. Costs scale with the CPU and memory you configure.
1 vCPU = half a physical core. 0.08–1 vCPU, or exactly 2, 4, or 8.
128 MiB to 4 GiB.
Sleeping Actors are not billed for active execution.
Estimate only. Or use a supported deployment path on AWS, Vercel, Railway, or bare metal and pay that provider directly.

Every model runs the same three pieces — your backend, the control plane, and storage. Choose who runs each piece.
Rivet Cloud runs the control plane and storage. Run your backend on Rivet Cloud too, or bring your own compute from Vercel, Railway, Cloudflare, AWS, or Kubernetes.
Rivet Cloud
Best for most teams shipping to production.
The whole stack runs inside your VPC, and Rivet manages it for you over an outbound connection.
Your VPC
Rivet Cloud
Best for data residency without anything to operate.
You run the entire stack on infrastructure you control, including air-gapped networks.
Your infrastructure
Best for strict compliance and air-gapped environments.
Build with agents, build for agents, and run it where your data lives.
