Hobby is free for non-commercial, personal use only. Pro is a US$20/month platform fee with one deploying seat and US$20 of usage credit; extra deploying seats are US$20/month each.

On Pro, CDN requests and data transfer are covered by Flat Rate CDN tiers: Pro includes the lowest tier (1M CDN requests, 1 TB data transfer per month); paid tiers are $20/mo (10M requests, 50 TB), $100/mo (50M, 50 TB) and $300/mo (150M, 50 TB).
