Free tier	Peer-to-peer compute priced by each provider per CPU-hour; mainnet requestors pay in GLM plus gas. The only free lane is the testnet: tGLM is 'test currency that you can obtain for free to test your requestor node. These tokens have no real value.' GLM was USD 0.110439 on 2026-10-22. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; testnet-faucet

Composes with	At GLM USD 0.1104, a provider asking 0.1 GLM per CPU-hour costs about USD 0.011 per CPU-hour, below most list prices; the chain breaks on gas per agreement and on the thin provider market.
Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	A third-party report says the testnet marketplace shows 0 active offers, which could not be confirmed because the page is rendered in JavaScript. A measured CPU-hour price would need a funded mainnet requestor node.

date	source	what it proved
2026-10-22	docs.golem.network/docs/golem/overview/requestor-faq	tGLM is free test currency with no real value; GLM is the tradeable token
2026-10-22	docs.golem.network/docs/golem/overview	testnet tokens come from a faucet and 'It is free, but you cannot expect capacity and performance'; mainnet needs GLM plus gas
2026-10-22	api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=golem&vs_currencie	GLM USD 0.110439
2026-10-22	marketplace.golem.network/	marketplace page read 200; offers render client-side, so the live offer count was not readable from the extracted text
