We run on the cheapest Hetzner VPS we can, which is about $8 USD/month. Pictrs are on cloudflare R2. Pictrs storage hovers around 14GB and we have yet to get a non-zero invoice.
Our active users are super low (I think). I don't think the lemmy interface tells you the number of active users for in instance, just for communities, but since it's a niche instance I can safely say it's around 10 people.
So that's a little less than a dollar per month per user. On the existing VPS I think we could safely add a bunch of users without needing to upgrade.
I think what you see on the main page (at the bottom right, just below the instance description/rules) is the instance's specific stats.
Oh that's cool. I was right, only 9 monthly users.
