koigrid vs Vercel Spend Management
Cap your monthly spend and get alerted before the bill surprises you — the egress-included alternative to Vercel Spend Management.
Vercel Spend Management lets you set a monthly amount, get notified as you approach it and pause when you hit it. koigrid gives you the same control — threshold alerts and an optional hard stop that blocks new paid resources — on top of a platform with a public price per reserved resource and zero egress fees, so the usual surprise — a traffic spike — cannot grow your bill in the first place.

What koigrid improves
A bill traffic can’t spike
The best spend control is a bill that doesn’t move with traffic — koigrid charges for what you reserve with egress included, then adds a cap on top.
Alerts you can act on
Configurable % thresholds email the owner and fire a platform event (so a webhook can page you).
Agent-native
An agent sets or raises the limit via the API — spend control as code.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Vercel Spend Management?
It depends on the workload. koigrid charges for the RAM and disk you reserve, by the hour, shared vCPU included, from a public price list — with bandwidth included and no per-request fees. Egress-heavy setups usually come out well ahead; see the estimate above.
Can I migrate from Vercel Spend Management without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
