## Caveats

- Starter free (5 seats, self-hosted only). Scale/Enterprise: per-seat, annual contract, contact sales; seats = unique human user accounts (agents/bots/environments not counted); overages trued-up pro-rata at contracted rate, no hard cap. Compute always runs on and is billed by the customer's own Kubernetes cluster (Self-Hosted or BYOC on AWS/GCP); no Okteto-hosted compute tariff exists.
- 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. Starter free 5 seats, Scale and Enterprise contact-sales. Customer Kubernetes/infrastructure required unless managed terms specified; platform fee is not host resource cost. Public commercial product has no list per-machine tariff.

## 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.
