"No calculators" means no surprise bills and no egress math — not "no clear price for the box you build." ### Free tiers hard-cap by default Exceeding a free tier pauses the resource — it never silently starts billing. Paid usage requires an explicit budget you set. ### Compute is prepaid VMs bill hourly from a balance you load. When it runs out, VMs stop and your data is retained — no runaway bills, ever. ### Transparent configurator Pick vCPU, RAM, and disk and see the exact monthly total before you deploy. No egress math, no fine print. Enterprise ## Volume Pay-As-You-Go From $499/mo .
