Hobby & Professional Accounts
Quave ONE has two account tiers. Hobby accounts are what every new user starts with: they work immediately, no approval needed, and are perfect for trying the platform, testing, and hobby projects. Professional accounts unlock all production regions and are enabled after a quick, free upgrade review.
Users vs Accounts
In Quave ONE, users and accounts are separate concepts:
- User: Your personal login credentials and profile. You already have a user since you signed up.
- Account: A higher-level concept to organize your applications, databases, billing, and team members. One user can belong to multiple accounts.
To deploy applications, you need to create at least one account. You can create more accounts later and invite team members to collaborate.
Tiers follow trust: once you are upgraded to Professional, your accounts are upgraded with you, and any new account you create starts as Professional automatically.
What Hobby Accounts Can Do
With a Hobby account you can start using Quave ONE right away:
- Deploy applications to the Hobby region
- Test and experiment with your code and configurations
- Create supported Databases & Services that are provisioned automatically
- Experience the full platform — dashboards, MCP, agents — before upgrading
Hobby Account Limits
- Hobby region only: You can deploy to the Hobby region. Other regions require a Professional account.
- Not for production workloads: The Hobby region is designed for testing, evaluation, and hobby usage only.
- Auto-stop on container failures: If your containers repeatedly fail to start, your environment will be automatically stopped. Professional accounts don't have this limitation.
Important: Do not deploy production workloads or important applications on a Hobby account. The Hobby region is provided for evaluation and hobby usage and is not intended for production workloads.
Why Upgrade to Professional?
Professional unlocks the full potential of Quave ONE:
- All regions: Access to multiple regions worldwide
- Persistent environments: Your deployments stay up until you decide to remove them
- Databases & Services: Create and manage databases, caches, and brokers such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and ClickHouse
- Production-ready: Deploy production workloads with confidence
- Priority support: Get faster responses from our support team

Account Limits
Once you're upgraded to Professional, we'll establish resource limits for your accounts based on your needs. These limits ensure we can provide the necessary resources while maintaining service quality for all users.
