No surprises
at month end.
Set a monthly spend limit, get alerted as you approach it, and optionally hard-stop new paid resources when you hit it. On a platform that’s already flat-rate with zero egress fees. The alternative to Vercel Spend Management.
Usage-based clouds turn a busy month into a scary invoice
The whole reason koigrid is flat-rate is to kill the end-of-month surprise. Spend Management adds a second safety net: set a monthly cap, pick the percentages you want to be warned at (say 80% and 100%), and we email the owner and fire a platform event as each threshold is crossed. Turn on the hard stop and new paid resources (apps, databases, caches) are blocked once you reach the limit — reads and your running services keep working, exactly like Vercel pauses new compute rather than pulling the plug. Spend is measured from your real usage ledger for the current month.
