| Free tier | No free tier; a 7-day trial with a paid ChatGPT subscription. Minimum monthly spend USD 15. unit none; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
The pool model means the bill is a floor plus hourly overage, not a machine price. |
| Binding | volume-quota The binding constraint is the USD 15 minimum monthly spend, which no shape reduces; bandwidth is the metered wall behind it. |
| Identity | card A paid plan implies a card; the pricing page states no card, hold or debit terms. The 7-day trial is gated on a paid ChatGPT subscription. Unverified. |
| Egress | 200 GiB of network bandwidth included on Personal; additional bandwidth USD 0.05/GiB. free allowance: 200 GiB |
| Retention | Persistent disks are included; 100 GiB of filesystem usage per 2 vCPUs, and additional disk at USD 0.08/GiB/month. |
| Interface | ssh, cli SSH into the VM as root, with apt and systemd; sign-in is through a Google account in the browser |
| Tooling | ssh, apt, systemd, and a web agent named Shelley for coding; a pool of vCPUs is reserved and shared by the VMs |
| Composes with | the pool model is the unusual part: 50 VMs share one 2 vCPU / 4 GiB reservation, so a fleet of idle sandboxes costs the same as one. It composes with a scheduler that starts many short-lived workers |
| Reliability | No reliability event observed; the trial is time-boxed at 7 days. |
| Notes | USD 15 a month is the floor and it buys 2 vCPU / 4 GiB spread over up to 50 VMs, so the per-VM cost is near zero but the bill is three times the budget. Standalone VMs are priced at USD 0.105/hour per 2 vCPU / 4 GiB for accounts above the minimum, which is USD 76.65 at 730 h. Egress arithmetic: USD 0.05/GiB x 1000 GB = USD 50 per TB beyond the 200 GiB allowance. Not established: the payment method and hold. |
| Evidence note | documented Plan price, pool size, VM count, disk and bandwidth allowances and the additional-disk and bandwidth rates are quoted from the pricing page read. Payment method and SSH details beyond the table are not on that page. |
