Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Pierrr: deployment, data, pricing, self-hosting.
General
Pierrr is a deployment platform (PaaS): you connect a GitHub repository from the dashboard and get a live app with HTTPS, a managed database and automated backups, without ever touching a server.
No. Pierrr handles servers, networking, SSL and deployments for you. You connect your repository and push your code, the rest is automatic.
Yes. The free plan lets you try Pierrr. Its projects hosted by Pierrr sleep every night from 00:00 to 08:00 (UTC), and are switched off after 30 days without a deployment or an action from a member, until a member wakes them up from the console. Data is kept, and paid plans are always on. The Pro plan offers a 14-day trial, once per organisation: your card is collected at signup but nothing is charged before the trial ends. The Business plan adds higher limits.
Deployment and apps
You connect your GitHub repository from the dashboard, pick the branch, and Pierrr builds then ships your app. On paid plans, every push redeploys automatically.
Yes. You can attach your custom domain to your app; the HTTPS certificate is issued and renewed automatically.
Pierrr auto-detects most modern stacks (Next.js, Node, containerized apps via Dockerfile, and more). If your project ships a Dockerfile, it is used as is.
Data and backups
On European infrastructure. Your data stays within the European Union.
Yes, at rest and in transit. Backups are encrypted by default, and your secrets are stored in a per-project encrypted vault.
Yes. Your code stays yours and lives in your GitHub repository. You can export your database and leave at any time, with no lock-in.
Pricing and billing
You are warned before reaching your limits. Depending on the case, you can upgrade or adjust your usage; nothing is billed silently for overage.
Billing runs through Stripe as a monthly subscription. The Pro trial collects a card at signup, charges nothing before day 15, and you can cancel anytime.
Self-hosting
Yes. Pierrr Agent is a binary you install on any Linux VPS (Hetzner, OVH, Scaleway, on-prem). Once installed, your servers show up in your Pierrr dashboard with the same deployments, logs and monitoring as the managed PaaS.
From 6 to 15 € per server per month depending on your plan, with unlimited apps on your own servers.
