# Financial FAQs

### How much does StackOS Cost?

Log in to [https://app.stackos.io/](https://app.stackos.io/dashboard) and go to the Upgrade Tab (3rd tab)

Type in the amount of CPU, RAM, Disk and Bandwidth you wish to use to get a quote.

Compared to other service providers you will find savings in the following ways:

* You can buy partial CPUs
* When we give you 1 CPU, we really give you 1 CPU (and don't steal back any cycles)
* We handle the Kubernetes admin for you for free
* We handle the failover for you for free

### Is there any risk of cost fluctuation

Today, payment to StackOS is in $STACK, but other options are also in the plans.

If you need to eliminate the market volatility of $STACK, keep your funds in a StableCoin such as BUSD and convert to $STACK just prior to payment.  This will give you predictable cost with low volatility
