# 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 Ultimately compute has real costs, and they are typically reflected in USD. 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 --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
