There are two measurements of a Thumbrella Cloud account.

Cache - the amount and lifetime of preserved thumbnails in the global, distributed edge caching.
Render - the amount of thumbnails processed by the server. Quotas prevent new thumbnails from generating for media. Although Thumbrella always provides placeholder thumbnails for any request, even over quota.

Each thumbnail is usually between 5kb - 10kb in size. Not all thumbnails are charged at the same rate. See the cloud pages for more details.

Other Options

Thumbrella is easy to serve and host on your own. The open source server is ready to run immediately with a single command. See the server documentation for details.
AI platforms (coming soon). Specially deployed Thumbrella servers are available on hosted platforms like fal.ai and Replicate. Run on these platforms using your existing accounts at no additional cost.
Project supporters get access to significantly higher resources and custom Docker images with custom functionality. See the supporter page for details.
The demo gallery has a collection of media and can be used as a free server for the media it hosts.
