Free tier	USD 200 in free compute included, one time. The signup flow states 'Sign up for a free trial - no credit card required'. Free credits are 'not available for GPU sandboxes'. Tier 1 needs a verified email and gives 10 vCPU / 30 GiB storage; Tier 2 needs a linked credit card and a USD 25 top-up. unit mixed; metered on wall-clock; one-time trial credit, not a monthly allowance. No page read states an expiry; the wallet has a 'See breakdown and expiration' control, so an expiry exists but its duration is undocumented.
Price	none stated
Limits	volume-quota USD 200 one-time free compute; no expiry stated on any page read source per-object-cap 4 vCPU, 8 GiB RAM, 10 GiB disk per sandbox source volume-quota Tier 1 pool 10 vCPU / 30 GiB storage (Limits table gives 20 GiB memory, Tiers table 10 GiB) source retention-clamped (binding) 15-minute idle auto-stop by default; internal processes do not reset it source per-ip-shaping Tier 1 and Tier 2 outbound is restricted to an unpublished essential-services policy and cannot be overridden per sandbox source 24/7 needs auto_stop_interval=0 and no ttl_minutes; a non-ephemeral VM class defaults to a 60-minute auto-pause when auto-stop is disabled, and auto-pause and auto-stop cannot both be non-zero. The published maximum lifetime of a sandbox is absent.
Binding	retention-clamped The 15-minute idle auto-stop binds first: it fires while processes run, only an external interaction resets it, and it must be set to 0 at create time to keep a machine up.
Identity	email The signup form at auth.daytona.io/sign-up asks for an email address plus 'Continue', or 'Continue with Google', or 'Continue with GitHub'. No phone field and no card field. The pricing page states 'Sign up for a free trial - no credit card required', so no hold exists. Two contrary signals are recorded in notes: the dashboard bundle carries a suspension reason 'Payment method required' that renders the non-dismissible banner 'Add a payment method to start creating sandboxes.', and a preview build of the billing docs says 'Personal organizations receive a one-time grant of free credits when the first card is connected.' The trigger for either is not established.
Egress	Network limits are applied by tier and are not a metered egress charge. Tier 1 and Tier 2: 'Network access is restricted and cannot be overridden at the sandbox level ... Essential services remain reachable.' Full internet access starts at Tier 3.
Per-object cap	One sandbox is capped at 4 vCPU, 8 GiB RAM and 10 GiB disk on every tier: 'Organizations get a maximum sandbox resource limit of 4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM, and 10GB disk'. The default VM snapshot daytona-vm-large is exactly that shape.
Retention	Container sandboxes keep their filesystem on the runner while stopped and occupy disk quota until archived; VM sandboxes offload filesystem state to storage on stop and free the quota. Nothing is deleted on a timer that the docs publish.
Interface	rest, cli Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go and Java SDKs over a REST API; SSH access to a sandbox
Tooling	Daytona SDKs, the CLI, SSH; snapshots and a toolbox API
Composes with	sub-90 ms sandbox creation makes it the cheapest option per short run, and the 15-minute idle stop is what caps it
Reliability	The dashboard bundle carries an 'EMAIL_ACCESS_DENIED' path whose screen reads 'Daytona accounts need a validated work email', so a personal-domain address may be refused at sign-in.
Notes	Arithmetic, recomputed today: 4 vCPU x USD 0.0504 + 4 GiB x USD 0.0162 + 5 billed GiB x USD 0.000108 = USD 0.26694 an hour. USD 200 / 0.26694 = 749.2 h = 31.2 days of a 4 vCPU / 4 GiB / 10 GiB VM at 24/7, and a 730-hour month costs USD 194.87, so the credit covers a full month with USD 5.13 to spare. At the maximum shape, 4 vCPU / 8 GiB / 10 GiB, the hour is USD 0.33174 and a 730-hour month is USD 242.17, which the credit does NOT cover: 602.9 h or 25.1 days. The operator's claim is therefore true at 4 GiB of RAM and false at 8 GiB. GPU trap confirmed for this class: the billing page states the free credit balance is 'not available for GPU sandboxes', so the USD 200 buys no GPU minute at any price on the pricing page (H100 USD 2.27/h, RTX 5090 USD 0.74/h). Windows is priced separately at USD 0.0858/vCPU/h and is not excluded by any sentence read. Not published anywhere: the credit's expiry, the sandbox's maximum lifetime, and the contents of the Tier 1 destination allowlist. Also unresolved: the bundle's 'Daytona accounts need a validated work email' screen, which would refuse a personal-domain address. Two tables on the limits page still disagree on Tier 1 memory, 10 GiB against 20 GiB; plan for 10.
Evidence note	documented Rates, credit, tier table, per-sandbox cap, default VM snapshots, SSH and the Tier 1 network policy were each read on a first-party page and quoted. The pricing page says no; the app bundle and a preview docs build imply a payment-method gate.

Notes	Extends the existing daytona.json record, whose category is dev environment and which carries no GPU lane at all.

The vendor's billing page says 'Free credit balance: the amount of free credits; not available for GPU sandboxes', and the same credit is priced elsewhere as 'sandbox compute, no GPU'. The 88-hour ceiling therefore does not apply, not even conditionally. The free allowance for GPU sandboxes is zero, and the verdict is paid-only rather than trial-only.
