| Free tier | Hobby is USD 0 a month 'plus usage, billed per second', including 5 vCPU-hours and 420 memory GB-hours each month, 20 GB of network egress and 5,000 sandbox creations. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; monthly vCPU-hours, reset each month |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
not stated |
| Binding | retention-clamped A 45-minute wall-clock cap reaps the machine before a monthly budget can matter, so the cap is the wall and price is irrelevant. |
| Identity | card The Hobby plan is USD 0 plus usage, which normally needs a card on file to meter beyond the included hours; no card, hold or debit statement was read on the pricing page. Unverified. |
| Egress | 20 GB of network egress included each month on Hobby (100 GB Pro, 1,000 GB Team); overage is USD 0.15 per GB on Hobby and Pro and USD 0.12 per GB on Team free allowance: 20 GB price per tb: USD 150 |
| Per-object cap | max sandbox runtime 45 minutes on Hobby, 24 hours on Pro; 10 concurrent sandboxes on Hobby, 50 on Pro |
| Retention | Not stated on the pricing page: a 45-minute maximum runtime means nothing survives a session unless the sandbox is durable, and durable sandboxes are listed as 'Not available' on Hobby. |
| Interface | rest REST API (api.sandbox.stateset.app), Node.js SDK and Python SDK; no CLI or SSH found in the docs read |
| Reliability | Shared sandboxes 'burst on Spot capacity at the lowest price and can be preempted', which is an interruption a user cannot schedule around. |
| Notes | No 730-hour figure exists to record because the product cannot run for 730 hours: 45 minutes is the Hobby cap and 24 hours the Pro cap. The byline prices the reference 4 vCPU / 8 GB shared sandbox at USD 0.028/hour, which would be USD 20.44 at 730 h if it could run that long - it cannot. |
| Evidence note | documented The runtime caps, concurrency, included hours and the spot-preemption sentence are quoted from the pricing page read. The unit rates, the card requirement and SSH access are not established. |

| price arithmetic | Not computable as a 24/7 figure: the Hobby cap is 45 minutes per sandbox and the Pro cap is 24 hours, so no shape can be held for 730 h. At the headline USD 0.028/hour for 4 vCPU / 8 GB, 730 h would be USD 20.44 if it were purchasable. |
