## Caveats

- Public desktop automation API product with demo-led sales; /pricing renders only headline even in Chrome. No verified hosted OS hardware size, tariff or CPU-hour rate. Windows desktop use is lead evidence, not guaranteed purchasable Windows VM configuration.
- Null values mean unknown, not free/unlimited. No model-token cost, tax or unverified ancillary charge included.
- Native browser/device/task/credit prices with unknown CPU/RAM are deliberately non-priceable. Check regime before interpreting any partial resource estimate.
- Cyberdesk is a computer-use AGENT platform, not a machine host: every machine is customer-supplied (Cyberdriver on your own Windows PC/VM), billed per agentic/cached step at contract rates; no public price, self-serve is a waitlist. Any Windows VM cost is paid separately to the customer's own cloud. Consider excluding it from compute rankings or keeping the mode 'alt' with all rates null.
- API rate limits: dashboard JWT traffic 480 requests/user and 4,000 requests/org per 60-second window; public API-key limits separate and unpublished; raise by emailing the founders.

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Public desktop automation API product with demo-led sales; /pricing renders only headline even in Chrome. No verified hosted OS hardware size, tariff or CPU-hour rate. Windows desktop use is lead evidence, not guaranteed purchasable Windows VM configuration.

## Worked example

Requested: 4 vCPU/8 GiB, 50 simultaneous × 8 h/day × 22 days = **8,800 instance-hours**, 30% CPU; 50 GiB snapshots and 100 GiB egress. A month is 730 hours only when explicitly used in rate conversion.

**Total: unknown.** This product does not publish a verified complete 4-vCPU/8-GiB tariff and/or the service bills a different unit. Fifty concurrent instances and eight-hour sessions are not automatically supported. Neither 30% utilization nor retained snapshots can be converted into free resources. Use the native plan terms above and request the missing CPU/RAM, retention, egress and concurrency quote.

Page captures and documentation indexes/bundles are in `raw/`; provider JSON lists the evidence paths. HN query results were captured separately as `<id>--hn.txt`; they are discovery leads, not current tariff authority. Downloaded docs do not imply every feature was verified; unsupported assertions remain null.
