Billing and plans
Cosmic Warp plans are the software: Warp View, swaps, archives and the rest. Your servers run on your own machines or in your own cloud account, so we never charge for RAM.
- Your own machine costs us nothing.
- A server in your own cloud account (Hetzner, DigitalOcean or Vultr) is billed by that provider, directly to you.
- Servers we run for you aren't offered yet. They're coming soon.
The plans
Free, Pilot and Commander are for players and friend groups. Host is for running your own game-hosting business. Just playing with friends? You don't need Host: Pilot or Commander has everything you need.
| Plan | Price | Machines | Game servers | Cosmic Warp storage | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 | 1 | 2 GB | Try it on your own box |
| Pilot | $8/mo | 2 | 3 | 25 GB | For you and your friends: game swaps, world archives and restore |
| Commander | $18/mo | 5 | 10 | 50 GB | For bigger groups and communities: everything in Pilot, plus mod pinning |
| Host | $79/mo | 50 | 25 included, then $1.50 per server per month | 250 GB | For hosting businesses: everything in Commander, plus white-label branding and sub-accounts |
Paying yearly saves 20%. See Pricing for the full, current list, and "Which plan is right for me?" there if you're not sure.
Need more than 50 machines on Host? Contact support@cosmicwarpview.com. Host subscribers who joined before the $79 price keep the price they signed up at for as long as their subscription runs.
The 7-day Pilot pass
Want Pilot for a weekend without subscribing? The pass is a one-time $3.50 for everything in Pilot for 7 days. It isn't a subscription and doesn't renew: when it ends, the account moves to Free by the usual rules (nothing is deleted). Warp View shows the date it ends. One pass runs at a time, and you can buy another after it ends. It's offered to accounts without a plan; with a subscription you don't need it.
On Free, game swaps and restoring a world aren't included. Your 2 GB of storage still keeps a world safe if its server is stopped (for example by a plan change), so you can bring it back after upgrading.
Choosing or changing a plan
Choose a plan under Plans in Warp View. Payments go through Stripe.
- A bigger plan starts now, and the prorated difference for the rest of the period is charged at once.
- A smaller plan starts at the end of the period you've paid for.
- Either way, the amount is shown before you confirm.
Moving to a smaller plan never deletes anything. Servers over the new limit are archived, then paused, and kept for 30 days; upgrade again within that window and they come straight back.
Cancelling and refunds
Cancel any time from Plans in Warp View. You keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for; then the account moves to Free. We don't refund partial periods unless the law requires it. If you were charged by mistake, we'll refund the mistaken charge. The Refund Policy has the details, and questions go to support@cosmicwarpview.com.
Founder plans
While spots last, a Founder plan is a one-time payment for a prepaid year of Pilot, Commander or Host, plus a founder renewal rate you can keep. Spots are limited; the home page shows how many are left. Section 9 of the Terms covers how it works.
