## Caveats

- Developer Flex $0.008/min ($0.48/h), Team Flex $0.016/min ($0.96/h). Full seats $50/150h and $200/unlimited MANUAL time; APIs/automations billed separately. Team documented 4vCPU/16GB/32GB disk. Unlimited seat runtime is not free API fleets; exact automation rates require billing docs.
- 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.

## Regime table

| Regime | When it applies | How billed | Numbers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Team Flex manual workspaces | For manual workspaces only; automated/API usage has separate billing. | sizes; CPU alloc, memory alloc | Team: 4 vCPU/16 GiB $0.96/h | https://replicas.dev |
| Team Flex | Plan limits apply | Monthly fee; credits only as stated | fee=0; included usage=$0; concurrent=None; max session h=None | https://replicas.dev |
| Retained disk / GiB-month | Lifecycle/scope must be checked | Native add-on | unverified, not $0 | https://replicas.dev |
| Snapshots / GiB-month | Lifecycle/scope must be checked | Native add-on | unverified, not $0 | https://replicas.dev |
| Egress / GiB | Lifecycle/scope must be checked | Native add-on | unverified, not $0 | https://replicas.dev |

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Developer Flex $0.008/min ($0.48/h), Team Flex $0.016/min ($0.96/h). Full seats $50/150h and $200/unlimited MANUAL time; APIs/automations billed separately. Team documented 4vCPU/16GB/32GB disk. Unlimited seat runtime is not free API fleets; exact automation rates require billing docs.

## 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.

Team Flex 4/16 raw manual runtime: 8,800×$0.96=$8,448. A $200 full seat has unlimited manual minutes, not unlimited automation, API use or 50 parallel workspaces. Workload eligibility is not established; do not quote $200 for the fleet.

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.
