Which BrewInTH plan should you choose? Free, Starter, Seed to Pro
Every BrewInTH plan compared: how Free differs from paid, which plan fits what you build, add-ons, and switching rules where unused days become credit.
The BrewInTH plans page lists Free, Starter, Seed, Maker, Growth and Pro, paid monthly, every 3 or 6 months, or yearly. Many people are not sure how much their site needs and worry about buying too much or too little.
This guide sums up what each plan includes, who it suits, where Free and the paid plans really differ, and the switching rules worth knowing before you pay. Every number comes from the live plans page as of October 2026.
In short
✅ Free is for a first site: 1 project, no card needed, but no own domain and the app sleeps when idle
✅ Starter / Seed are for a real site: 2 projects, your own domain and 3 mailboxes; Seed is the cheaper yearly option
✅ Maker, Growth, Pro are for several sites, more visitors, or building sites for clients
✅ Moving to a bigger plan starts today, and the unused days of your current plan become credit
✅ Add-ons such as Backups and Extra project + database come without changing your plan
What every plan includes
- Free, ฿0: 1 project, 20 MB storage, 1 GB bandwidth a month, 0.25 CPU / 256 MB RAM per app, no mailboxes
- Starter, ฿99 a month: 2 projects, 200 MB, 10 GB, 0.5 CPU / 512 MB RAM, 3 mailboxes of 100 MB
- Seed, ฿749 a year: exactly the same resources as Starter
- Maker, ฿1,499 a year: 5 projects, 1 GB, 50 GB, 1 CPU / 1 GB RAM, 10 mailboxes of 200 MB
- Growth, ฿2,899 a year: 10 projects, 10 GB, 200 GB, 2 CPU / 2 GB RAM, 25 mailboxes of 500 MB
- Pro, ฿5,699 a year: 25 projects, 25 GB, 500 GB, 4 CPU / 4 GB RAM, 50 mailboxes of 1 GB
Starter also comes prepaid: Starter Plus 3 (฿269 for 3 months) and Starter Plus 6 (฿499 for 6 months), with the same resources as Starter.
What the numbers mean:
- Projects: how many sites or apps can be online at once. Each project can have one primary database (512 MB each).
- Storage: uploaded site files plus the persistent storage of all your projects together.
- Bandwidth: data sent to visitors over the month; the count starts again each month.
- CPU / RAM: the power of each project's app (static sites need very little).
- Mailboxes: email on your own domain, such as
hello@yourshop.com.
Every plan has the same languages and databases. No plan is limited to PHP only or static only.
Where Free and paid really differ
Beyond the numbers, a few things change how a site behaves.
- Autosleep: on Free, an app with no visitors for a while goes to sleep, and the next visitor sees a "waking up" page for about 10-40 seconds. Paid plans choose the idle time or never sleep. Static sites never sleep on any plan.
- Running out of bandwidth: Free stops serving at 100%. Paid plans keep serving up to 150% of the quota, with email warnings at 80%, 100% and 150% when an email address is linked to your account.
- Own domain and mailboxes: paid plans only.
- Size of what users send to your site: 20 MB per request on Free, 400 MB on paid plans.
Pick by what you are building
A first site, learning vibe coding → Free
Free, with no card. You get a free address such as yourname.host.brewinth.net right away. Good for experiments, school work, or a small static site such as a portfolio.
A real shop or personal site → Starter or Seed
When you want your own domain, email at @yourshop and an app that never makes visitors wait. Starter and Seed have the same resources; only the payment differs:
- Starter, ฿99 a month, for when you want to try a single month first.
- Seed, ฿749 a year, about ฿62 a month, ฿439 less than paying Starter for 12 months (฿1,188).
Several sites, or an app with a database and regular users → Maker
5 projects, 1 GB storage, 50 GB bandwidth and twice Starter's CPU/RAM per app, about ฿125 a month.
Sites for clients, or heavy traffic → Growth or Pro
Growth has 10 projects, Pro 25, with storage and bandwidth in the hundreds of GB. Need more? The plans page has an Enterprise card: Talk to the team.
Add-ons: top up only what is missing
No need to upgrade the whole plan for one thing:
- Backups, ฿99 a month: daily database backups plus backups on demand, restored from the console.
- Extra project + database, ฿299 a year: one more project with one more database.
- A shorter site address, paid once, yours forever: ฿49 for
name.w.brewinth.netor ฿99 forname.brewinth.net.
Buying and switching rules
- Auto-renew or one-time: on Plans & billing there is a box "Renew and charge automatically each period"; untick it for a one-time purchase.
- Buying the same plan again extends it from the current end date. No days are lost.
- Moving to a bigger plan starts today. The unused days of your current plan become your Credit balance, applied automatically to your next purchase.
- Moving to a smaller or cheaper plan is not possible while the current one runs; the card says "Below your current plan". Stop renewal and wait for the period to end.
- Discount or invite code: enter it on the same page before you buy; the discount shows on the payment page.
A receipt is issued automatically after payment. If you need a company name or tax ID on it, fill in Receipt / tax invoice details before buying.

Frequently asked questions
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. Your sites and data stay where they are; buy a plan on Plans & billing and the new resources apply to your existing projects straight away.
How much bandwidth does my site use?
The console's Usage page shows it. Roughly, a page with a few pictures is 1-3 MB per view, so 10 GB a month covers several thousand page views, depending on the size of your images and videos.
Why is my free site slow on the first visit?
Apps on Free sleep when nobody visits. The first visitor waits about 10-40 seconds while it wakes. Static sites do not sleep, so they are not affected. For a fast first visit every time, use a paid plan and turn sleep off.
Does my site disappear when the plan ends?
The safest path is auto-renew, or buying again before the date shown under "Valid until". If you are unsure about your own case, ask the team on the support page.
Are longer periods cheaper?
Yes. Starter Plus 3 works out at about ฿90 a month, Plus 6 about ฿83 and Seed (yearly) about ฿62, against ฿99 on the monthly plan.
Summary
Start on Free to see how your site works. When it goes live with your own domain, move to Starter or Seed, and look at Maker, Growth or Pro once you run several sites or get a lot of visitors. Moving up never wastes what you paid, because the unused days become credit.
