## 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.
- Calculator counts all participants, not just participants after the first. One browser watched by three people can incur three participant streams. Headless use with zero watchers has no verified tariff.
- Embedded save states, multi-user control and WebGL are documented; no separate storage/proxy/CAPTCHA tariff found. Machine resource guarantees are unpublished.
- Graduated monthly volume discounts apply automatically: 5% from 60k participant-minutes, 10% from 300k, 15% from 600k, 25% from 3M, 35% from 6M, 45% from 12M. Not modelled.

## 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.

Assume exactly one continuously connected participant per computer. 8,800 h=528,000 participant-minutes. Base after 10,000 free: $3,626; subtract 240,000×.007×5%=$84 and 228,000×.007×10%=$159.60: **$3,382.40** native streaming subtotal. It triggers the sales suggestion, not a forced published enterprise plan. Fifty simultaneous VM availability, 4/8 hardware, snapshots and egress are not verified. Two watchers change this bill; 30% CPU does not.
