# Pricing

Prices are in US dollars, before tax, as of 2026-11-08. The [pricing page](https://raw.computer/pricing) has a
calculator and a comparison with other providers.

## Compute

Billed per second, from the moment a sandbox starts running until its stop or suspend completes. Nothing is charged to
create, start, resume, fork or snapshot a sandbox, and nothing while it waits in the queue.

| Size | vCPU / memory | `std` per hour | `perf` per hour |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `2x4` | 2 / 4 GiB | $0.016 | $0.024 |
| `2x8` | 2 / 8 GiB | $0.024 | not sold |
| `4x8` | 4 / 8 GiB | $0.032 | $0.048 |
| `4x16` | 4 / 16 GiB | $0.048 | not sold |
| `8x16` | 8 / 16 GiB | $0.064 | $0.096 |
| `8x32` | 8 / 32 GiB | $0.096 | not sold |
| `16x32` | 16 / 32 GiB | $0.128 | $0.192 |
| `16x64` | 16 / 64 GiB | $0.192 | not sold |
| `32x64` | 32 / 64 GiB | $0.256 | $0.384 |
| `32x128` | 32 / 128 GiB | $0.384 | not sold |

Every size is priced from two unit rates, so the ladder is linear: twice the machine costs twice as much.

| Class | per vCPU-hour | per GiB-hour of memory |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `std` | $0.004 | $0.002 |
| `perf` | $0.007 | $0.0025 |

## Options

Options multiply the compute price of the sandboxes that use them.

| Option | Compute price |
| --- | --- |
| EU residency | ×1.25 |
| Nested virtualization | ×1.15 |
| Spot (may be stopped when capacity is needed; the disk is kept) | ×0.5 |
| Hosts with side-band ECC memory | priced before it is sold |

## Storage, network and wallet

| Item | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Stopped disks, snapshots and templates | $0.04 per GiB-month of unique bytes; the first 20 GiB-months of each org are free |
| Disk while running | included with the size, 20 to 320 GiB ([Limits](/docs/limits#sizes)) |
| Egress | 1 TB a month included per paying org, then $0.02 per GB; inbound is free |
| Dedicated IPv4 address | $3.00 a month |
| Wallet top-up | from $10.00 |
| Trial credit | $10.00 on sign-up |
| Plans, seats, start fees | none |

## When a sandbox is stopped

A stopped sandbox pays no compute. Its disk is kept and billed as storage, on unique bytes only: blocks it shares with
its snapshots, forks or template are counted once.

## Paying

raw.computer is prepaid. You top up a wallet, and usage is drawn from it as it runs. There are no plans, seats or monthly
minimums. When the wallet or a budget cap cannot pay for a new start, the API answers
[`insufficient_funds`](/docs/errors#insufficient_funds) with the next step.
