## Caveats

- Pivoted: Playgent now sells finance-specific RL environments and post-training data (expert-curated tasks, verifier rubrics, environments with MCP tools) for investment-banking agents. This is a data/environment vendor sold by contact form, not a compute sandbox product. No pricing (/pricing 404), docs, console or self-serve access.
- 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.
- Buying process is sales-only: 'Contact us to discuss your use case and access our RL environments.' No self-serve signup exists (app./docs. subdomains do not resolve).

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Provides stateful simulated SaaS environments for agent tests/RL, not necessarily executable VM sandboxes. Homepage public but /pricing 404; pricing and underlying CPU/RAM unknown.

## 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.
