## How much does it cost?
The server cost depends on your cloud provider and server size. `obm` shows you the estimated monthly cost before you commit.
The server cost depends on your cloud provider and server size. `obm` shows you the estimated monthly cost before you commit. Generally speaking, a server that costs $5 to $8 (USD) per month will give you plenty of resources.
**Rough starting points:**
| Provider | Smallest option | Good for |
|----------|----------------|----------|
| Hetzner | €4.49/mo (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) | Most agents |
| DigitalOcean | $6/mo (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM) | Light use |

The AI model API costs are separate, and depend on your usage. Generally that's the biggest cost with an AI agent. Running this part within the server instead of using a provider, will be slower but cheaper. If low cost is a priority, set up local inference.
