Credits
Credits serve as the unit of measurement for VM runtime. They simplify understanding and managing the costs of running your VM Sandboxes and Repositories. One credit equates to a specific amount of resources used per hour, which ensures clarity and transparency in your billing.
| VM size | Credits / hour | Cost / hour | CPU | RAM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pico | 5 credits | $0.0743 | 2 cores | 1 GB |
| Nano | 10 credits | $0.1486 | 2 cores | 4 GB |
| Micro | 20 credits | $0.2972 | 4 cores | 8 GB |
| Small | 40 credits | $0.5944 | 8 cores | 16 GB |
| Medium | 80 credits | $1.1888 | 16 cores | 32 GB |
| Large | 160 credits | $2.3776 | 32 cores | 64 GB |
| XLarge | 320 credits | $4.7552 | 64 cores | 128 GB |
Sandboxes do not run on VMs, so any time spent on a Sandbox will not count toward your credit spend.
Types of credits
Subscription credits
Subscription credits are allocated monthly credits per workspace according to the subscription plan. A workspace on the free plan gets 400 credits per month. The Pro plan has a base of 1000 credits a month, but more can be purchased with credit add-ons.
Unused credits do not roll over month-to-month.
On-demand credits
Once subscription credits have been used, VM usage will begin running on on-demand credits. These credits will be tracked and billed at the end of the billing cycle. On-demand credits are not subject to discount and are billed at a standard $0.1486 per hour.
To prevent unexpected bills due to unusually high on-demand credit usage, every Pro workspace is required to set a spending limit.
