You pay for deployment workflow, not rented compute
Connect GitHub, deploy from one dashboard, and keep the build, routing, and release flow visible instead of stitching tools together by hand.
Pricing
Deploy to your own server.
With full visibility.
GitHub deploys, managed databases, automated backups, and live logs — all running on a server you already own. Pay for the control plane, not the compute.
Pro gives you unlimited projects and team access on 1 server. Scale adds up to 5 servers when you outgrow one.
Free
Start free, no card required

Everything in every plan
The platform value does not disappear behind higher tiers.
Every plan keeps the same core product story: you own the runtime, nouva gives you the workflow, guardrails, and visibility to run it well.
- Bring your own server and keep runtime ownership
- Run multiple projects on one connected server
- GitHub deploys with stack auto-detection
- Provided app URLs and direct custom-domain routing
- App services plus managed PostgreSQL and Redis
- Backup workflows and staged restore flows
- Live build and runtime logs, plus service metrics
- Deployment history for app and database changes
Why nouva
Why pay for nouva if you already own the server?
Because the hard part is not renting compute. The hard part is deploying safely, keeping state visible, and recovering cleanly when something breaks.
You get safer defaults on the server you already trust
Backups, staged restores, and explicit storage planning help you ship changes without treating recovery like an afterthought.
You get visibility without hosted-platform black boxes
Logs, metrics, deployment history, and server-aware controls make it easier to see what is running, what changed, and what needs attention.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before they buy
The pricing model stays simple on purpose. These are the questions that usually matter most before a team moves a server or a workload into nouva.
Yes. nouva is the control plane and your connected server is the runtime. You keep ownership of the machine, networking, local Traefik, and where workloads run.
The Free plan lets you connect one server, create one project with up to three services (apps and databases), and deploy real workloads with no time limit. Storage, scheduled backups, and team invites require a Pro plan.
Yes, on Pro and above. nouva is built around one connected server hosting one or more projects and services with optional per-service limits when you want guardrails.
Storage and log metering are part of the next billing phase. The current self-serve launch only hard-enforces connected-server count, with buckets, backups, and logs moving to explicit metering later.
Yes. Start on Pro, validate the workflow on one server, and move to Scale when you need more connected servers, more storage, or longer log retention.
Yes. Scale supports up to 5 servers, whether you want them as individual nodes or as a Docker Swarm cluster.
Annual billing saves 20% on Hobby, Pro, and Scale. The plan still shows a monthly-equivalent rate, but billing is charged yearly.
Next step
Start free. Upgrade when you need more.
Pro is the fastest way to validate nouva on your first server. Scale is the self-serve tier for teams that need up to 5 servers, storage across buckets, backups, and logs, and optional Docker Swarm support.
Start with one server if you want the simplest path. Move to more nodes only when the workload actually needs it.
