Billing basis What the meter counts: wall-clock allocated resources, active CPU only, requests/plan quota, session-hours, or free software.
wall clock (source: Runloop Pricing)
vCPU price $/vCPU-hr Published on-demand CPU rate normalised to USD per vCPU-hour (per-second rates multiplied by 3,600; per-core rates divided by vCPUs per core where the vendor defines it). Lowest public tier, default region.
$0.108 (source: Runloop Pricing)
Memory price $/GiB-hr Published memory rate normalised to USD per GiB-hour (GB treated as GiB where the vendor does not distinguish). 0 means the vendor states memory is free.
$0.0252 (source: Runloop Pricing)
Sandbox from $/sandbox-hr Smallest published per-sandbox hourly price, where the vendor publishes one.
