It offers a generous set of features for individual users on a **per month** basis: | Resource | Hobby Included Usage | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | | [Edge Config Reads](/docs/edge-config/using-edge-config#reading-data-from-edge-configs) | First 100,000 | | [Edge Config Writes](/docs/edge-config/using-edge-config#writing-data-to-edge-configs) | First 100 | | [Active CPU](/docs/functions/usage-and-pricing) | 4 CPU-hrs | | [Provisioned Memory](/docs/functions/usage-and-pricing) | 360 GB-hrs | | [Function Invocations](/docs/functions/usage-and-pricing) | First 1,000,000 | | [Image Transformations](/docs/image-optimization/limits-and-pricing#image-transformations) | First 5,000 | | [Image Cache Reads](/docs/image-optimization/limits-and-pricing#image-cache-reads) | First 300,000 | | [Image Cache Writes](/docs/image-optimization/limits-and-pricing#image-cache-writes) | First 100,000 | | [Speed Insights Events](/docs/speed-insights/limits-and-pricing) | First 10,000 events | | [Speed Insights Projects](/docs/speed-insights) | 1 Project | | [Web Analytics Events](/docs/analytics/limits-and-pricing#what-is-an-event-in-vercel-web-analytics) | 50,000 events / month included | | [Workflow Events](/docs/workflows/pricing) | 50,000 events / month included | | [Workflow Data Written](/docs/workflows/pricing) | 1 GB | ## Hobby billing cycle As the Hobby plan is a free tier there are no billing cycles. In most cases, if you exceed your usage limits on the Hobby plan, you will have to wait until 30 days have passed before you can use the feature again. Some usage limits have shorter pause periods: - [Web Analytics](/docs/analytics/limits-and-pricing#hobby): collection pauses after the grace period and can resume after 7 days As stated in the [fair use guidelines](/docs/limits/fair-use-guidelines#commercial-usage), the Hobby plan restricts users to non-commercial, personal use only. When your personal account gets converted to a Hobby team, your usage and activity log will be reset. To learn more about this change, read the [changelog](/changelog/2024-01-account-changes). ## Comparing Hobby and Pro plans The Pro plan offers more resources and advanced features compared to the Hobby plan.
