Netlify Functions pricing
Netlify · FaaS (invocations + GB-hour, credit-based) · snapshot captured June 2026
Netlify Functions is priced as faas (invocations + gb-hour, credit-based). Credit-based: compute is 10 credits per GB-hour of function runtime; the Free plan gives 300 credits/month (~30 GB-hours) and 125,000 invocations. There is no clean published $/1M-request rate, so we mark per-request cost as credit-metered. It scales to zero, so you pay nothing while idle. Egress: Bandwidth counts against the monthly credit allowance.

| Pricing model | FaaS (invocations + GB-hour, credit-based) |
| Per 1M requests | Not request-priced |
| Per GB-second | n/a |
| Free tier | Free plan: 300 credits/month ≈ 125,000 invocations + ~30 GB-hours compute (10 credits per GB-hour). Default memory is 1024 MB. Usage is credit-metered rather than a clean per-million rate. |
| Scale to zero | Yes (no charge when idle) |
| Egress | Bandwidth counts against the monthly credit allowance. |
| Regions | Global CDN + regional function execution. |

Worked example
A small API doing 1,000,000 requests/month, each running ~200 ms at 256 MB of memory (≈50,000 GB-seconds/month):
Netlify Functions is not billed per request — it uses faas (invocations + gb-hour, credit-based), so a per-request figure is not comparable. Credit-based: compute is 10 credits per GB-hour of function runtime; the Free plan gives 300 credits/month (~30 GB-hours) and 125,000 invocations. There is no clean published $/1M-request rate, so we mark per-request cost as credit-metered. Use the platform's own model for this workload.

Cost pros & cons
Where Netlify Functions saves money
- Tight integration with Netlify CDN, builds and edge
- Free plan good for low-traffic JAMstack sites
- Background and scheduled functions included
Watch-outs
- Credit-based billing makes per-request cost hard to compare
- 1 GB default memory inflates GB-hour usage
- Function timeout limits on lower tiers

Frequently asked questions
How much does Netlify Functions cost?
Credit-based: compute is 10 credits per GB-hour of function runtime; the Free plan gives 300 credits/month (~30 GB-hours) and 125,000 invocations. There is no clean published $/1M-request rate, so we mark per-request cost as credit-metered. Snapshot June 2026 — verify on the vendor's pricing page.
Does Netlify Functions have a free tier?
Yes — and it renews every month, not just for the first year. Free plan: 300 credits/month ≈ 125,000 invocations + ~30 GB-hours compute (10 credits per GB-hour). Default memory is 1024 MB. Usage is credit-metered rather than a clean per-million rate.
Does Netlify Functions scale to zero?
Yes — Netlify Functions scales to zero, so you pay nothing while it is idle (you are billed only for actual usage). Free plan: 300 monthly credits ≈ 125,000 function invocations + ~30 GB-hours of compute.
What does Netlify Functions charge for egress?
Bandwidth counts against the monthly credit allowance. Egress is one of the most overlooked serverless costs, so model your outbound data when comparing platforms.

Source & accuracy
Figures are a dated snapshot from Netlify's pricing page (snapshot captured June 2026). The worked example is a transparent calculation over those inputs (see methodology). Serverless pricing is volatile and varies by region, memory tier and discounts — verify current prices on the vendor's page before relying on them. This is an informational comparison, not a quote.
