# Checkly pricing explained

> Checkly costs $0/mo on the Hobby plan (10 uptime monitors), $24/mo on Starter and $64/mo on Team, with Enterprise quote-only. Paid plans also bill overage once your prepaid API and browser check runs are used up.

## Plans

- Hobby — $0/mo. 10 uptime monitors, 10k API + 1k browser check runs/mo, 2-minute checks, 6 locations
- Starter — $24/mo. 50 uptime monitors, 25k API + 3k browser runs, 1-minute checks, 6 locations, SMS alerts
- Team — $64/mo. 75 uptime monitors, 100k API + 12k browser runs, 30-second checks, 22 locations, private locations
- Enterprise — quote only. Custom monitor volume, 1-second checks, parallel scheduling, traces — quote only

## Free tier

 Hobby is $0/mo with no card required: 10 uptime monitors, 10,000 API check runs and 1,000 browser check runs per month, 2-minute checks from 6 locations.

## What to watch out for

- Checkly bills consumption, not monitors: API checks and browser (Playwright) checks draw on separate run pools, and retries plus multi-location runs multiply how fast you burn them.
- Once prepaid runs are gone you pay overage — Starter is $6.50 per 1,000 browser runs and $2.60 per 10,000 API runs; Team drops to $6.25 and $2.50 respectively.
- The free Hobby plan hard-stops when you hit 10k API or 1k browser runs — checks simply stop rather than billing overage like paid plans do.
- One-second check frequency, traces, and private or parallel location scheduling are Enterprise-only, so the fastest self-serve interval you can actually buy is 30 seconds on Team.
