Per-service + AWS cost
Flightcontrol charges per-service and then you pay AWS the raw usage costs. This is similar to other PaaS where you pay per-user + usage costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are services counted? In Flightcontrol, a service is any server, static site, database, or cache. In other words, each square service card that shows in your Flightcontrol environment is counted as a service. The billable service count accumulates across environments. For example, 2 environments with 3 services each equals 6 billable services.
How are preview environment services counted? They are counted only once. If you have a server and a database in the preview environment, you are billed for 2 services regardless of how many pull requests are deployed
Does Flightcontrol cost include AWS cost? No, Flightcontrol cost is in addition to AWS cost. You pay your AWS costs directly to AWS. Flightcontrol provides a live display of AWS cost in our dashboard, so you can easily monitor these costs.
Can I use AWS credits? Yes! Your AWS credits can fully cover your AWS costs. We're working on consolidated billing, but in the meantime credits can't be used to pay the Flightcontrol cost. Here's a guide to get free AWS credits.
