| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) USD 50 usage credit on a free Pro trial source
- volume-quota (binding) 3 running devboxes during the trial source
- volume-quota (binding) CPU USD 0.108 per CPU-hour and memory USD 0.0252 per GB-hour source
'Trial sandbox limits (lifted on upgrade)' means the devbox count is a trial restriction rather than a platform ceiling. |
|---|
| Binding | volume-quota The credit and the rate: at USD 0.108 a CPU-hour a two-CPU box burns USD 0.3168 an hour, so USD 50 is 158 hours, and the credit is a trial that ends. |
|---|
| Identity | email 'No credit card required' twice on the page, including on the trial call to action. No hold exists because no payment method is taken. |
|---|
| Egress | No egress charge or allowance is stated on the pricing page. |
|---|
| Per-object cap | No devbox shape is published on the pricing page; the rate card is per CPU-hour and per GB-hour, with 'Devbox CPU $0.108 / CPU-hr' and 'Devbox Memory $0.0252 / GB-hr'. |
|---|
| Retention | '100 GB Free Storage' on the Basic plan; devbox storage is billed at USD 0.00034236 per GB-hour and snapshots are separate. |

| Interface | rest, cli REST API, Python and TypeScript SDKs, and the rl-cli command line tool |

| Tooling | pip install runloop-api-client (Python SDK), npm install @runloop/api-client (TypeScript SDK), and the rl-cli terminal tool |

| Reliability | The trial ends and the limits lift only on upgrade; a devbox on the trial is capped by the credit rather than by a runtime limit. |

| Notes | At 2 vCPU / 4 GiB the hour is USD 0.216 + USD 0.1008 = USD 0.3168, so USD 50 is 158 hours, five and a half days. Boat's comparison table independently prices Runloop at 'USD 0.634' an hour for a 4 vCPU / 8 GB machine, which is exactly double this figure and consistent with the same rate card. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented The credit, the no-card statement, the trial concurrency and the rate card are first-party. The per-hour figure is arithmetic on a 2 vCPU / 4 GiB shape the page does not name, so the shape is assumption and is labelled as such. |
