Every plan spends its credit pool first, then usage keeps flowing and bills per second at your committed in-plan rate, no hard stop mid-run, no forced upgrade. Without a plan you pay the on-demand rate instead. Prices are illustrative pending final list pricing; the per-second billing model is final.

Estimate

Price your own fleet.

Pick a product, set the size and the hours, and see what it draws from your balance, next to what the same work costs on the field. A paused machine costs nothing, which is where per-second billing pulls ahead.
