## Pricing

- Model: Usage-based with a monthly plan fee that acts as a minimum spend credited toward usage. Plans: Free $0 / Hobby $50 / Pro $500 / Enterprise (custom). Paused (hibernated) VMs incur no compute charge.
- Unit: Allocated vCPU $0.04032/hour + GiB memory $0.0129/hour + GiB storage $0.000086/hour + transfer $0.02/GB (both directions); compute metered per second.
- Free tier: Monthly hard allowances: 200 vCPU-hours, 400 GiB-memory-hours, 60000 GiB-storage-hours, 50 GB bidirectional transfer. 10 concurrent/saved VMs and snapshots. Free persistence disputed between pricing and docs.

| Tier | Price | Includes | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0/forever | Concurrent 10; saved 10; snapshots 10; CPU 4; memory 8 GiB; disk 32 GB. Monthly included 200 vCPU-hours, 400 memory-GiB-hours, 60000 storage-GiB-hours.; 60000 GiB-storage-hours monthly; transfer counts inbound and outbound. |  [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/pricing-and-limits) |
| Hobby | $50/mo + usage over $50 | Concurrent 40; saved 200; snapshots 1000; CPU 8; memory 16 GiB; disk 64 GB. Monthly included 200 vCPU-hours, 400 memory-GiB-hours, 60000 storage-GiB-hours.; 60000 GiB-storage-hours monthly; transfer counts inbound and outbound. |  [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/pricing-and-limits) |

## Runtime

- **GPU & accelerators**: No GPU offering or GPU rates found on current pricing/docs. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/pricing-and-limits) (confidence: high)
- **BYOC (Bring your own cloud)**: na (source: docs) (confidence: medium)
- **Secrets management**: TLS edge encrypts configured header credentials at rest and masks readback; HTTP, Postgres and S3 credential injection keeps real credentials out of guest. Not a general-purpose vault. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/network/tls-outbound) (confidence: high)
- **Storage options**: VM root disk default 32 GB; max Free 32 GB, Hobby 64 GB, Pro 256 GB; billed while paused. External S3 integrations are not first-party object storage. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/pricing-and-limits) (confidence: high)
- **Supported workloads**: long-running AI agents, untrusted code execution, browser and desktop automation, development environments, evaluations, nested containers and VMs [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs) (confidence: high)
- **Persistence**: Persistent saved disk; paused VMs retain memory and disk. Hobby/Pro persistence confirmed; Free differs between pricing table and docs. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/pricing-and-limits) (confidence: medium)
- **Data jurisdiction**: unknown [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs) (confidence: low)
- **Resource limits & quotas**: Concurrent VMs 10/40/400; saved 10/200/4000; snapshots 10/1000/12000. Max CPU 4/8/32; memory 8/16/64 GiB; disk 32/64/256 GB. Aggregate disk budgets 320/3125/62500 GB. Default 4 CPU/8 GiB/32 GB. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/pricing-and-limits) (confidence: high)
- **SDK languages**: TypeScript/JavaScript [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/quickstart) (confidence: high)
- **Network & egress controls**: Default-deny network; required allow rules with VM/VPC/tunnel/CIDR/port/protocol matchers. TLS/SNI domain rules can grant only permitted origins; broad firewall grants are additive. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/vms/network/firewall) (confidence: high)
- **Snapshots & forks**: Live cloning includes memory; snapshots preserve running state. Homepage advertises 65 ms startup; API description says p99 under 400 ms; unbenchmarked vendor claims. [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/) (confidence: high)
- **Deployment methods**: api, sdk, cli [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/docs/cli) (confidence: high)
- **Isolation**: Virtual machine — "Full Linux VMs; nested virtualization, FUSE and eBPF. Hypervisor implementation is not named." [source](https://www.freestyle.sh/) (confidence: high)

## Method

Facts come from the product's own public pages. Each claim carries its evidence: a quote and the page it came from. We count capabilities rather than grade products, and "Not assessed" means we have not checked, never that the product lacks it.
