Droplet Pricing
DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.
The base price of a Droplet depends on its plan. You can learn more about Droplet plans on the Droplet features page or on Choosing the Right Droplet Plan.
This page has tables of prices by Droplet plan, as does the main pricing page. These prices are also visible when you create a Droplet from the control panel.
Droplet Billing Details
Droplets are billed hourly with a minimum charge of one hour. If you create a Droplet and destroy it less than an hour later, you are still charged the minimum charge of $0.01.
Billing for all Droplets begins when you create them and ends when you destroy them. You are still billed for Droplets that are powered off because the compute resources for the Droplet stay reserved on the hypervisor, even when they are not in use. To end billing, destroy the Droplet.
Droplet Bandwidth
Each Droplet includes free outbound data transfer, starting at 500 GiB/month and scaling up. Outbound data transfer is shared between all Droplets each billing cycle. Additional transfer is billed at $0.01 per GiB, but most users don’t exceed the amount included with their Droplets.
You can view your accumulated monthly transfer allowance on your account’s billing page in the Droplet transfer section. For an in-depth description of how data transfer accrual works, read our detailed bandwidth billing page.
Pricing by Droplet Plan

GPU Droplets
Note
If you are a newer DigitalOcean customer, we may charge your team’s primary payment method partway through the monthly billing cycle when you create GPU Droplets, but your total cost is not increased. This is a precautionary measure to prevent abuse of our platform.
You can retrieve these same values programmatically using the DigitalOcean API and CLI.
