Bring your apps home to India. Apply for migration credits.

If you are running on Render, Railway, Heroku, Fly or a cloud you outgrew, moving costs you a month of two bills and a weekend you would rather spend shipping. Migration credits exist to take the first part off the table: apply, and if we approve it we put a rupee credit on your workspace that is set against your Voroa bills until it runs out.

Applications are read by a person. There is no card and no commitment.

What a migration credit actually is

A migration credit is a rupee amount we place on your Voroa workspace. It is set against every Voroa bill on that workspace - the first payment when you buy a paid service, an upgrade you make part-way through a month, and your monthly renewal. It covers services that run on Voroa machines. A service in a DigitalOcean, AWS or Vultr region is billed in full, and so is any purchase that includes one.

Each bill is taken from the credit first. A purchase or an upgrade that the credit left covers in full costs you nothing; one that costs more than the credit left is paid normally, and the credit stays for your renewals. A monthly renewal the credit only partly covers is reduced by what is left, and you pay the remainder. For a purchase or an upgrade, each credit you hold is checked on its own. When the credit runs out, or reaches its end date, your normal bill resumes at your normal price, and nothing else about your account changes.

One thing is paid normally

We would rather you heard it here than at checkout. A first payment or an upgrade is taken from the credit only when the credit left covers all of it. If you buy something that costs more than the credit you have left, that charge is paid normally, and the credit stays on your workspace for your monthly renewals.

A credit spent on a month is not given back if you later cancel or downgrade - that month is treated like any month you paid for.

Paying for cloud hosting from India

Up to ₹10,000, granted by hand

A migration credit can be up to ₹10,000. Every credit is granted by hand, after a person has read your application.

Inside that ceiling there is no automatic amount, no rate per rupee you spend elsewhere, and no published table - which is the honest way to say that applying is not the same as being approved.

It is a credit against future Voroa charges. It is not cash, it cannot be withdrawn or transferred, and it is not a discount on your plan price - your prices are the ones published on our pricing page, before and after.

Paying for cloud hosting from India

Any paid service on Voroa machines, on any Voroa bill

Compute, managed PostgreSQL, key-value, storage, add-ons. The credit is set against what you buy and against the part of your monthly workspace charge that runs on Voroa machines. Services in a DigitalOcean, AWS or Vultr region, and traffic charged at the AWS rate, are billed in full.

One bill, in rupees, with a GST invoice

You are charged in INR from an Indian entity, with a GST tax invoice on every payment you can hand to your accountant. No card in dollars, no forex markup, no invoice you have to explain.

Your account is a normal account

Same dashboard, same deploys from GitHub, same support queue. A credited workspace is not a trial and not a sandbox - it is the account you will keep once the credit is gone.

How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    You apply. The form below takes about a minute. Tell us where you run today, roughly what you spend there, and what you are moving.

  2. 02

    You verify your email. We send a code to your work email. Entering it creates your Voroa account with that email and links your application to it. You sign in later with a code sent to the same email, and no password is needed.

  3. 03

    You send your bills. Upload your last 3 months of bills from your current provider in your Voroa account, or reply to our email with them.

  4. 04

    We read it. A person reviews every application against what we can actually support. We write back either way, normally within three working days.

  5. 05

    If we approve it, we add the credit. It appears on your workspace with the amount and the date it expires, both stated up front. An unused credit expires on that date.

  6. 06

    You move at your pace. Deploy from GitHub, bring your database, point your domains. The documentation covers each step, and support answers on the same queue as every other customer.

  7. 07

    From then on, the credit meets your bills. Your first purchase, upgrades and monthly renewals are taken from the credit until it runs out, and then normal billing continues at your normal price, with no further action from you.

FAQ

Common questions

Not covered here? Read the docs or talk to us.

How much credit will I get?

Up to ₹10,000. There is no fixed amount inside that ceiling: each grant is decided on the application in front of us, which is also why the form asks what you are moving rather than only who you are. Be realistic about the scale of your move and we will be realistic back.

Does the credit cover databases and storage too, or only my plan?

Yes, for everything that runs on Voroa machines. Your monthly workspace charge covers compute, managed databases, storage and add-ons together, and the credit is set against all of it except services in a DigitalOcean, AWS or Vultr region and traffic charged at the AWS rate, which are billed in full.

Does the credit cover my first payment when I sign up?

Yes, when the credit left covers the whole payment - there is nothing to pay, and your service starts straight away. The same goes for an upgrade part-way through a month. If a purchase costs more than the credit you have left, that one payment is taken normally and the credit stays for your monthly renewals.

What happens when the credit runs out?

Your ordinary bill resumes, at the prices on our pricing page, collected the way you set up. There is no cliff and no re-negotiation. You get a renewal notice before every charge, naming the amount and the payment method it will be collected from, so the first normal charge is never a surprise.

Does the credit expire?

Yes. Every grant carries an expiry date, and we tell you what it is when we approve it. Anything left on that date lapses. It is a credit for moving, not a balance you hold.

Can I have the credit paid out, or moved to another account?

No. A migration credit is non-cash and non-transferable. It only ever reduces a Voroa charge on the workspace it was granted to, and it is never refunded as money. Our Refund and Cancellation Policy says the same thing in the same words.

Do I need to be on a paid plan to apply?

No. Start on the free tier while you apply if you like - it needs no card. If a credit is approved, it applies to the paid services you then run.

I am on AWS and spending a lot more than your prices. Is this for me?

Probably not in the way you are hoping. Voroa is a deploy platform, not a hyperscaler, and our catalogue is priced for teams running applications and databases rather than for large cloud estates. The programme lands best with teams paying a few thousand rupees a month elsewhere, where a credit is genuinely a month or more of free running. Apply anyway if you want an honest answer - you will get one.

I am moving from Netlify. Does this apply to me?

You can apply like any other team: send your last 3 months of Netlify bills and we review it by hand. To see what you pay Netlify now in rupees, including GST and the card markup, read Netlify pricing in India.

What do you do with what I put in this form?

We use it to review your application and to write back to you. We do not sell it or share it for advertising. Our Privacy Policy has the full position.
