/ common questions
Billing, in plain English.
What counts as vCPU-time?
Wall-clock seconds a VM is actively allocated CPU. Paused VMs, stopped VMs, and snapshots don't accrue.
Do branches cost extra?
No per-branch fee. You pay for whatever compute the branch actually runs.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. New accounts get credits to prototype and run small experiments before a card is required.
Are there any minimums?
No monthly minimums, no tier floors, no annual commits. Pay for what you use.
How am I billed?
Metered usage aggregated daily, charged monthly to your card. Enterprise can pay by PO or wire.
