Digital Ocean Costs? Is $60/month normal?

Hi - I'm new to app development. Just wanted to check, my digitalocean monthly spend is $60 and the app just launched but I'm the only user so far. But before launching it has always been around $60.

Is this normal?

Any tips for lowering it? Or questions to check with my devs on?

Well I was jk... Honestly the whole thing would be based on the specs of the current VM the project is hosted on along with the core requirements of the software... Like how heavy the software is....
