## Caveats

- Free prototype; Starter $20/mo includes 1 production instance; Pro $100 includes 5. App Builder $20/$100 credits are LLM credits, not compute credit. Containers 4/8 $0.24/h, 4/16 $0.28/h; included-instance shape not explicit so total cannot be accurately netted. Hourly charges stop when environment stopped.
- 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.

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Free prototype; Starter $20/mo includes 1 production instance; Pro $100 includes 5. App Builder $20/$100 credits are LLM credits, not compute credit. Containers 4/8 $0.24/h, 4/16 $0.28/h; included-instance shape not explicit so total cannot be accurately netted. Hourly charges stop when environment stopped.

## 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.

Gross 4/8 container runtime 8,800×$0.24=$2,112. Subscription adds $20 or $100, but includes 1 or 5 unspecified production instances: exact net bill cannot be derived until included shape/hours and 50-instance eligibility are known. AI builder credits do not offset runtime.

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.
