### Prices

| Size | vCPU | RAM | Disk | Plan | Price | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 vCPU / 2 GiB | 1 | 2 GB | unknown | any | $0.0525 /h [2] | $0.0525 |
| 2 vCPU / 4 GiB | 2 | 4 GB | unknown | any | $0.105 /h [2] | $0.105 |
| 4 vCPU / 8 GiB | 4 | 8 GB | unknown | any | $0.21 /h [2] | $0.21 |
| 8 vCPU / 16 GiB | 8 | 16 GB | unknown | any | $0.42 /h [2] | $0.42 |
| 16 vCPU / 32 GiB | 16 | 32 GB | unknown | any | $0.84 /h [2] | $0.84 |

- Sizes are standalone VMs (sandboxes): $0.105 per hour per unit of 2 vCPU / 4 GiB, metered by the second from creation until stop or delete, on top of the plan. Memory is in GiB.
- Plan VMs share the plan's capacity (Personal 2 to 16 vCPU, $15 to $155 a month); one VM can use all of it, so they are not priced per VM.
- Extra disk $0.08 per GiB-month and extra outbound bandwidth $0.05 per GiB beyond the plan allowance (Personal: 100 GB disk per 2 vCPU, 200 GB bandwidth).
- A standalone VM has up to 2 GiB of memory per vCPU; Work allows up to 32 vCPUs without approval, Personal up to the plan's vCPUs.
- VM creation 'about two seconds' is a vendor claim. Cloud Hypervisor is named as an implementation detail that may change.
- Standalone VMs reach the whole internet by default; an `integrations` egress policy blocks everything but exe.dev metadata and attached integrations.
