## Tembo (Nano: 2 vCPU / 2 GiB)

- `compute/tembo-computer` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category full VM (dedicated Linux VM per session) | tier Nano: 2 vCPU / 2 GiB
- needs card unknown, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-11-03T01:42:18.426Z (live) | stale on 2026-12-04
- url https://docs.tembo.io/resources/pricing
- price parsed USD 77.82/mo
- free tier: Free trial: 'included usage allowance, up to 10 users, sandbox size up to xl, and priority support'. The size of the allowance and its duration are not stated on the pricing page. | unit: mixed | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-24 | source: [1] | note: a dollar-denominated allowance, amount unpublished
- per-object cap: not applicable
- retention: unknown: 'Stopped, snapshotted, and otherwise non-running VMs do not accrue compute', and projects can cache reusable environments, but no page read states how long a stopped VM or its cached environment survives | source: [1]
- egress: Not published on the pricing page. Tembo Gateway model traffic and cloud VM compute 'draw from the same balance', but no traffic allowance or per-GB egress rate is stated. | metered: no | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: Account signup for the free trial; Pro (USD 60) and Max (USD 200) are paid plans. Whether the trial requires a card, what card types are accepted, and whether any authorisation is held are not stated on the pricing page read.
- interface: rest, cli
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): Pro USD 60 a month includes a USD 90 usage allowance; Max USD 200 includes USD 400; compute draws at USD 0.0403/vCPU-hour + USD 0.0130/GiB-RAM-hour [1]
  - retention-clamped: the Pro plan caps sandbox size at 'medium' (4 vCPU / 8 GiB); only Max and the trial reach 'xl' (16 vCPU / 32 GiB) [1]
- limits note: 'Included monthly allowance expires at the end of each billing cycle and does not roll over. Prepaid balance does not expire.' Overage billing is optional and capped by a user-set maximum.
- binding note: The dollar allowance is what runs out first: the cheapest always-on shape spends USD 77.82 of it a month, inside a USD 90 Pro allowance, but a Medium VM at USD 0.2652 an hour uses up USD 90 in about 339 hours.
- interface detail: Agent sessions execute in dedicated ephemeral Linux VMs; the workspace is driven through Tembo's own gateway and model routing rather than a machine you connect to directly.
- tooling: Tembo's own workspace. It is a coding-agent product that happens to run a VM, not a VPS: no SSH contract is published on the pricing page.
- composes with: A full VM at USD 0.1066 an hour for the smallest shape is USD 77.82 a month, so it is not an answer to the cheap-machine questions. It matters here as the case where a full VM is priced by the running second and the binding cost is the USD 60 a month plan that must sit underneath it.
- reliability: No reliability event observed. Each session runs in a dedicated ephemeral VM, so state that is not in a cached project environment does not outlive the session.
- notes: Arithmetic: Nano at USD 0.1066 an hour × 730 = USD 77.818 a month, against a USD 90 Pro allowance, so the allowance covers 844 hours. At 10 h a day (300 h) it is USD 31.98. Verified against the component rates: 2 × 0.0403 + 2 × 0.0130 = USD 0.1066 an hour, which matches the size table exactly. Larger shapes: Micro (2/4) USD 0.1326/hr, Medium (4/8) USD 0.2652, Large (8/16) USD 0.5304, XL (16/32) USD 1.0608, XXL (16/64) USD 1.4768, Ultra (32/128) USD 2.9536. Region, egress and stopped-VM retention are unverified. sandboxprices.com could not price this row at all, so the site contributes discovery only.
- evidence note: Rates, the size table and the plan floors are quoted from the vendor's own pricing documentation read. The free-trial amount is explicitly unpublished, so no value is recorded for it. What would raise it: a trial run that reads the granted allowance, and the egress terms.
- extras:
  - shape.vcpu: 2
  - shape.ram_gib: 2
  - billing_model: hourly
  - term: monthly plan plus per-second metering
  - m10h_usd: 31.98
  - m24h_usd: 77.82
  - price_arithmetic: 0.1066/hr × 730 h = USD 77.818; × 300 h = USD 31.98. Component check: 2 vCPU × 0.0403 + 2 GiB × 0.0130 = 0.1066/hr.
  - free_tier_kind: trial
  - network_out.allow_outbound: yes
  - network_out.ports: not published
  - session_cap.restart_required: no
  - session_cap.note: no lifetime cap published; non-running VMs accrue no compute
  - aggregator_note: sandboxprices.com lists Tembo Computer as a Full VM row with no modelled total ('workload eligibility incomplete'); the vendor rate card prices it at USD 77.82 a month for the smallest shape.
