# Deployment Resources and Limits (/docs/account-billing/deployment-resources)

> Understand the Cloud app, database, and persistent storage included with your Verdent plan



Publishing a Verdent Cloud app uses deployment resources included with your account plan. Verdent checks these allowances before a new publish starts and displays the current usage when a limit blocks publishing.

## Resources tracked [#resources-tracked]

| Resource               | Unit | Applies to                                              |
| ---------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cloud apps**         | Apps | The number of apps your account can have published      |
| **Database storage**   | GB   | Database data used by a Cloud project                   |
| **Persistent storage** | GB   | Files and other persistent data used by a Cloud project |

## Limits by plan [#limits-by-plan]

| Plan        | Cloud apps per account | Database per app | Persistent storage per app |
| ----------- | ---------------------: | ---------------: | -------------------------: |
| **Free**    |                      1 |           500 MB |                      10 GB |
| **Lite**    |                      2 |             2 GB |                      20 GB |
| **Starter** |                      2 |             2 GB |                      20 GB |
| **Pro**     |                     10 |             8 GB |                      30 GB |
| **Max**     |                     50 |            32 GB |                      80 GB |

These allowances are current as of August 10, 2026. Deployment resources are included at no additional charge for a limited time and may change. See the [Verdent pricing page](https://www.verdent.ai/pricing) for the latest plan details.

The Cloud app limit applies across your account. Database and persistent storage limits apply separately to each published Cloud app.

<Note>
  Deployment resource limits are shown separately from model-credit usage. For model requests, top-ups, and your credit balance, see [Credits and Plans](/docs/account-billing/credits-and-plans).
</Note>

## What happens at a limit [#what-happens-at-a-limit]

Verdent runs a resource check before publishing. If a resource is full, the **Publish blocked** dialog identifies the limit and shows the available next step.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud app limit">
    Upgrade to a plan that includes more Cloud apps, or archive an existing app before publishing a new one. Releasing changes to an existing deployment does not consume another Cloud app slot, but its database and persistent storage limits still apply.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Database storage">
    Upgrade before publishing again. A full database can also disable adding or editing rows and may prevent the live app from working correctly.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Persistent storage">
    Upgrade before publishing again. If the current plan is already the maximum available plan, use the dialog to contact support.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

When both the Cloud app limit and a storage limit are reached, Verdent reports the combined block. Resolve both resources before retrying.

## Check the current allowance [#check-the-current-allowance]

The publishing limit dialog shows:

* your current plan
* resource usage and limit
* the suggested next plan, when available
* an **Upgrade** or **Contact support** action

Use the numbers shown in Verdent as the source of truth for your account. They reflect your current plan and the latest available allowances.
