## Caveats

- Storage, snapshot GiB-month and public IPv4 prices are not published in the reviewed sources; null is not free.
- No guaranteed vCPU allocation published; browser-hour is not a verified 4-vCPU/8-GiB VM equivalent. The sizes card keeps unknown hardware null; do not coerce it to zero or auto-rank against resource-guaranteed VMs.
- Browser RAM is not published unless a specific mode overrides it.
- No current Dev/Business/Scaleup subscriptions offered; older comparisons are obsolete for new buyers. Legacy concurrency grants can be preserved.
- Concurrency is lifetime purchased-credit spend, not monthly fee. Card cannot enforce a historical spend gate; the zero-fee higher tiers must not be auto-selected without checking account qualification.
- Pricing page says $200 lifetime spend unlocks 50 sessions; docs says $100. Keep both and inspect account grant before purchasing solely for concurrency.
- V 4 agent browsers have four-hour hard timeout and roughly 20-minute idle cleanup after inactive runs. An eight-hour single session is not valid for that product; standalone browser limits may differ.
- No 4/8 guarantee; model prices are separate token meters, not compute. Managed token prices already include the 20% fee; do not add it twice.
- Browser create API reserves the full requested runtime amount up front, refunding unused duration at stop proportionally; final billing remains rounded up to whole minutes. A prepaid wallet must cover the initial reservation.
- V4 per-run spend caps scale per model up to $100 (changelog 2026-08-10); x402 (USDC on Base) pay-per-request top-ups from $0.01 to $100 with no account; BYOK cache-read overcharge fixed 2026-08-24.

## Worked example

Requested: 4 vCPU / 8 GiB; 50 concurrent × 8 hours/day × 22 days = **8,800 runtime hours**, 1,100 eight-hour starts if recreated daily; 30% CPU; 50 GiB-month snapshots; 100 GiB egress.

Native browser time: 8,800×.02=**$176**. If 100 GB means actual metered browser traffic: +$20 direct => **$196**, or +$500 residential => **$676**; excludes model fees and snapshot storage. Fifty concurrency needs the verified spend-tier grant ($100 docs/$200 page), not $200 added monthly. Four-hour agent cap means at least 2,200 starts for 8-hour workdays; long-session feasibility must be confirmed.
