Before you choose
PAYG meters model calls and machine time. Pro $20/month and Max $200/month advertise ten-times prepaid usage credit; confirm expiry and promotion terms. Exhausted credit continues at PAYG rates. Default 2GB/1vCPU costs $0.00315/min; automatic bursts 4GB/2CPU $0.00630 and 8GB/4CPU $0.01260, billed by second. BYOK removes platform model charges but providers still bill directly. Subscription compatibility and origin-bound secret protection were not tested; machines have shell and full network egress.
Workflow and handoff
Deploy a fixture agent with narrow tool scopes and dry-run writes, verify burst/idle billing and secret boundaries and approve outputs before live actions.
