## Caveats

- Self-hosted cloud-development workspace product. Coder provisions customer-selected infrastructure; licence is not a compute price. Free open-source and commercial Premium options exist.
- Not fully priceable in ENGINE_CARD: unknown USD resource rates or machine shape. Null is not zero; do not rank as a free provider.
- Features set to null were not verified. No sandbox was purchased or tested; feature/performance statements are documentation claims. Null maximums are unknown unless a cited note explicitly states unlimited.
- A complete monthly bill requires known snapshot/egress/plan limits; do not silently treat missing ancillary charges as free.
- Coder Agents concurrency: Community and Premium allow 5 concurrently active agents per deployment (extra agents queue); AI Premium removes the cap but meters 'Agent Time' (LLM invocation time) from a purchased pool, reported hourly to Coder (tallyman-prod.coder.com) - outbound reporting required unless arranged otherwise.
- Premium seats are counted as users active in the last 90 days (dormant users do not consume seats).

## Worked workload

4 vCPU / 8 GiB; 50 simultaneous instances × 8 h/day × 22 days = **8,800 instance-hours**, **35,200 vCPU-hours**, **70,400 GiB-hours**. At 30% observed CPU:10,560 active-vCPU-hours only where the meter actually uses utilization. Assume one start/instance/day:1,100starts. Retain50GiB snapshots for a month;100GiB outbound. Active disk capacity was not specified.

Need actual provisioned VM SKU and50-workspace capacity plus any licence quote. Open-source licence$0 must never become free8,800h compute.
