# Overview


An exe.dev bill has two parts:

- **Your plan's subscription.** A fixed monthly price, paid in advance for the
  month ahead.
- **Metered usage.** Disk and outbound bandwidth beyond your allowance,
  [standalone VMs](/docs/standalone-vms), and on Work, pool capacity beyond
  what's included. Billed at the end of each cycle at the rates on
  [exe.dev/pricing](https://exe.dev/pricing).

An active subscription is needed to create and manage VMs.

## Plans

Every plan gives you a block of CPU and memory that your VMs share, not a
fixed size per VM. One VM can use all of it, or many smaller VMs can split it.

- **[Personal](/docs/billing/personal)** is for one account. You choose one
  capacity, from 2 to 16 vCPU, that all of your VMs share. It costs $15 to
  $155 per month.
- **[Work](/docs/billing/work)** is for teams. It has a minimum spend of
  $150/month for the whole team and includes 4 vCPU / 8 GB of pool capacity.
  More capacity is metered by the hour.
- **[Enterprise](/docs/billing/enterprise)** has custom limits and dedicated
  hardware, priced by contract.

See [exe.dev/pricing](https://exe.dev/pricing) for the full comparison.

## Shelley credit

Personal, Work, and Enterprise don't include a monthly Shelley credit. Buy
credits at [exe.dev/user/shelley](https://exe.dev/user/shelley).

## Individual and Team subscribers
