Pricing // per-second compute · $5 credit to start

Pay for execution,
not for seats.

Compute is metered per second with no rounding: you pay for the exact vCPU-seconds and GB-seconds a sandbox uses, and a paused sandbox bills storage only. Every run's exact cost appears in your history. Start free with a $5 usage credit and no card — a paid plan adds a workstation that persists between sessions.

Every plan is bring-your-own-key: we sell the machine, never model usage. Your agent runs against your provider account, with your rate limits and your bill — so the price above is the whole price we charge you.

Rule of thumb: a 2 vCPU · 2 GB sandbox costs about $0.13 / hour — and a paused sandbox bills storage only. Exact per-run cost appears in your history.

FAQ

How exactly is a run billed?
Per second of allocated resources: vCPUs × $0.0000140/s plus RAM GB × $0.0000045/s while the sandbox is running, plus $0.15 per GB-month of storage. Pause a sandbox and compute billing stops immediately — only storage continues. Every run's exact charge is itemised in pilldrops history and the dashboard.
What does the $5 free credit cover?
About 37 hours of a 2 vCPU · 2 GB sandbox, or roughly 8,000 Playwright verdicts — enough to build and test a real integration. No card required; nothing is charged when the credit runs out.
What does a paid plan actually add?
A workstation: a machine that persists between sessions instead of expiring. Free sandboxes are leased and end after 4 hours — good for running code, no good for an agent you come back to. Personal and Pro each hold a permanent machine that pauses when idle (billing storage only) and resumes exactly where you left off. Both are self-serve; talk to us for Enterprise.
Can I avoid usage billing entirely?
Yes — self-host the platform. The control plane, node agent and dashboard are open source; run them on your own metal or VPC and compute costs you whatever your servers do.
