YC company page confirms webapp.io (YC S20, Toronto, founders Colin Chartier and Lyn Chen) is the same domain as the hinted YC directory entry, status 'Acquired'. Company blog (Colin Chartier, Feb 2025) confirms acquisition by Harness and that the webapp.io platform itself was shut down on June 1, 2025 even though the marketing/pricing site was still live as of this audit (2026-09-29/30) with stale pricing. Company was originally branded 'LayerCI' (same YC S20 batch/founders) before rebranding to webapp.io; footer credits 'Layer DevOps Inc.' as the legal entity. No funding amount, round type, or revenue figure could be confirmed or estimated from available sources in the time budget.

## Caveats

- Discontinued or closed to new customers, confirmed on the live site 2026-09-29. The stale pricing page still renders: Starter $0/member (free for 3), Pro $15/member/mo (up to 10, 6 parallel VMs, 100GB bandwidth, 7 VMs hosting), Team $39/member/mo (up to 50, 12 parallel VMs, 1TB bandwidth, 12 VMs), Scale/Enterprise custom, annual 20% off; card had per_seat null although fees are
- Starter $0 up to 3 members; Pro $15/member/mo up to 10; Team $39/member/mo up to 50; annual 20% off, Enterprise quote. VM pool quotas and retained previews tied to plan, but CPU/RAM pool shape not verified. Twelve parallel VMs shown for Team; 50 concurrent benchmark requires custom service. YC acquired status does not equal shutdown.
- 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.
- Status: the homepage banner says 'Webapp.io has joined Harness'; signup reportedly returns 404 and status.webapp.io no longer resolves, so the still-live pricing page (Starter $0 / Pro $15 / Team $39 per member) should be treated as stale. Shutdown date (2025-06-01 per audit) not verified on the live page.

## Verified billing facts and gotchas

1. Starter $0 up to 3 members; Pro $15/member/mo up to 10; Team $39/member/mo up to 50; annual 20% off, Enterprise quote. VM pool quotas and retained previews tied to plan, but CPU/RAM pool shape not verified. Twelve parallel VMs shown for Team; 50 concurrent benchmark requires custom service. YC acquired status does not equal shutdown.

## 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.

Downloaded docs do not imply every feature was verified; unsupported assertions remain null.
