Pricing

There is one plan. The fee is a share of revenue you actually collected, which means Lath costs nothing in a month where you earn nothing.

The rate falls as you grow

One percent to $100,000 collected in a month, then half a percent above it. The rate falls as you grow rather than as you negotiate, and the tiering is applied to the account rather than to any single project.

Infrastructure is billed at published rates

Every infrastructure line shows its quantity, its unit rate and the product of the two. The unit is an industry measure — a GB-second, a GB-hour, a message — so the rate is directly comparable against any provider’s published list price for the same unit.

We publish the rate so you can check it. We do not publish what we pay, because that number would change without your price changing.

That is a narrower claim than it might first appear, and the narrowness is deliberate. What you can verify is the arithmetic and the rate. What you cannot verify from us is the margin between the rate and our cost — so we do not ask you to take a word for it, and the comparison against the market is yours to make rather than ours to assert.

With no revenue collected

The fee is one percent of nothing. Infrastructure you are running is still billed, because it is still running — a dormant project with a database costs what the database costs.

Limits refuse growth, never operation

A spending limit blocks new billable resources — a new service, a new database, a deploy that increases spend. It never stops serving what is already running, and neither does a failed payment. Production keeps serving while we retry, contact you, and give you dates in advance.
