Keep HomePacket free
HomePacket's core app is free — and I want to keep it that way. Built and run by one guy. Not chasing profit, just trying to break even on the bills. Here's the honest math.
Vercel (hosting) App hosting, builds, bandwidth | $20/mo |
Supabase Database, auth, file storage | $25/mo |
Claude API (Anthropic) AI lookups + home assistant | $30/mo |
Resend Account + reminder emails | $20/mo |
Domain homepacket.app, amortized | $2/mo |
Sentry Error monitoring | $26/mo |
| Roughly, per month | $123/mo |
These move around. A few run on free tiers today (Resend, for one) — once HomePacket grows by another ~100 users I'll have to upgrade them to keep email and security solid, so the total climbs. The AI bill rises with usage too — a good problem to have.
Donated this month
JunChip in, if it's worth it to you
No pressure, no paywall, no nagging. If HomePacket saved you a headache and you want to cover a coffee's worth of server time, that genuinely keeps it running.
Donations open soon — the payment link is being set up.
Donations are voluntary, non-refundable, and not tax-deductible — they buy you nothing but good karma and a little less server stress. See our Terms.
