Add-on pricing

These features are available as add-ons on the Pay-as-you-go plan:
You can check your usage in the ngrok dashboard.

Refreshing limits

Your usage refreshes on the first day of each month.

Endpoint limits

Your endpoint limit is the number of endpoints you can have online at the same time. On Free and Hobbyist, you can have up to 3 online endpoints.
This limit does not refresh at the end of each calendar month.
On the Pay-as-you-go plan, there is no limit on the number of online endpoints. An endpoint that has outgoing traffic during a clock hour is counted as an active endpoint for that hour and charged one endpoint hour. Free and Hobbyist plans allow you to use your included credit to start endpoints.

Wildcard endpoints

Wildcard endpoints allow you to create a single endpoint that receives traffic for all subdomains matching a wildcard endpoint pattern, such as *.example.com. For example, if you create the wildcard endpoint https://*.example.com, it will receive traffic for https://foo.example.com, https://bar.example.com, and any other matching subdomains.

Billing for wildcard endpoints

For any wildcard endpoint you create, you will be charged one endpoint hour for the wildcard endpoint itself, regardless of how many subdomains match the wildcard pattern or how many internal endpoints the wildcard endpoint forwards traffic to.

Wildcard Cloud Endpoints forwarding to internal endpoints

When you use a wildcard Cloud Endpoint that forwards traffic to multiple internal endpoints using Traffic Policy actions (such as the forward-internal action), billing works as follows:
  • Endpoint hours: You are charged one endpoint hour for the wildcard Cloud Endpoint. The internal endpoints that receive forwarded traffic do not incur additional endpoint hour charges, as they are internal-only endpoints.
  • Traffic Policy (TP): Traffic Policy actions executed on the wildcard Cloud Endpoint are charged according to standard Traffic Policy Unit (TPU) pricing. This includes any actions used to route or forward traffic to internal endpoints.
  • Individual endpoints vs. wildcard endpoints: If you create individual endpoints for specific subdomains (for example, https://api1.example.com and https://api2.example.com) instead of using a wildcard endpoint, each individual endpoint or wildcard endpoint will be charged separately for endpoint hours.
For more information on creating and using wildcard endpoints, see the wildcard endpoints documentation.

Pay-as-you-go FAQs

What is the Pay-as-you-go plan?

The Pay-as-you-go plan is a flexible pricing model that allows you to pay only for the resources you use, without any upfront commitment. It is ideal for production workloads that require scalability and flexibility.

How does the Pay-as-you-go plan work?

You pay a $20 per month base fee that includes $20 in usage covering data transfer, endpoints, connections, and other resources. Usage beyond the included amount is billed monthly based on actual consumption. You can scale your usage up or down as needed.

Is bandwidth generated by malicious traffic counted towards usage?

The ngrok cloud service automatically protects all Endpoints from attacks with its proprietary, out-of-the-box DDoS Firewall. Before an attack is detected, bandwidth that is generated may count towards the usage based portion of your Pay-As-You-Go invoice.
