## RemoteHost

- `compute/remotehost` | trial-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category container and VM sandbox
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-04T02:24:16.350Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-05

- free tier: Starter is USD 20 per month and includes 610 machine-hours, 35 concurrent sandboxes rising to 1,200, and 24-hour sessions, self-serve with a 7-day free trial. A small machine (2 vCPU / 4 GB) counts 0.5 machine-hours per hour and a default machine (4 vCPU / 8 GB) counts 1, so the Starter allowance is 1,220 hours at 2 vCPU / 4 GB. Overage is USD 0.64 per standard machine-hour, metered by the second. | unit: hours | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: trial

- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): The 610 machine-hour allowance is the binding term: a 4 vCPU / 8 GB sandbox running continuously needs 730 machine-hours a month and spends 120 hours of overage at USD 0.64, while a 2 vCPU / 4 GB box fits 24/7 inside the allowance. [1]
- limits note: The 610 machine-hour allowance is the binding term: a 4 vCPU / 8 GB sandbox running continuously needs 730 machine-hours a month and spends 120 hours of overage at USD 0.64, while a 2 vCPU / 4 GB box fits 24/7 inside the allowance.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: REST API (OpenAPI), remote CLI, SSH via the RemoteHost gateway, TypeScript SDK @remotehost/sdk and a web console
- tooling: the `remote` CLI (alias `rh`), the TypeScript SDK `@remotehost/sdk`, and the REST API
- composes with: At 0.5 machine-hours per hour for a 2 vCPU / 4 GB box, USD 20 a month covers 1,220 hours, which is a 24/7 sandbox plus 490 spare hours for a second box part-time; that turns a per-hour sandbox into a fixed monthly cost, which is the shape a persistent agent service needs.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: This is the cheapest way found to keep a 2 vCPU / 4 GB sandbox alive every hour of the month: USD 20 buys 1,220 machine-hours at the 0.5x multiplier against a 730-hour month. It is recorded as trial-only because the free lane is a 7-day trial and the plan itself needs a card at checkout. The 24-hour session cap on Starter is the term that matters for a long-running service, since a session has to be recreated daily. Disk is not priced separately on the page; the repo-large and long-running profiles carry 80 GB and 160 GB disks. Checkout requires acknowledging that usage is measured from allocated resource-time.
