Upstash QStash pricing and limits
iScoreHTTP-based message queue and scheduler, priced per message with a per-day cap rather than a monthly allowance.
Upstash QStash pricing at a glance
Who it suits
HTTP-first workloads that want scheduling and delay measured in months rather than a day, without running a consumer process.
Consider something else if…
The free plan is capped per day rather than per month, so a single burst can exhaust it while a monthly allowance elsewhere would absorb the same volume.
