Dear Python Anywhere Team

I have been using the platform recently to perform modelling and back-testing procedures. I am therefore not running a website application and my sole requirement is speed of execution of my python scripts in the console.

I have recently been using the Hacker Plan. My query is whether upgrading to a higher plan would improve the speed of execution.

I understand that there is a limit on CPU-seconds per day for each plan but would a higher plan make a difference when I'm still within the limit?

Thank you

Your processes run in a shared infrastructure -- if the speed issue is not related to the fact that you run out of the CPU seconds and your processes end up in the tarpit, the execution speed will rather stay similar (although we have multiple console servers and some of them may end up being more busy than others). If you have particular requirements we can show you an offer for a private console server where only you would run your code -- if you're interested in that, please contact us at support@pythonanywhere.com.
