paidcardcardDper-object-cap
| Free tier | USD 100 in free credits, so you can build and run against Cloud before spending anything of your own. unit mixed; metered on wall-clock; credit |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | per-box ceiling of 4 vCPU, 32 GiB of memory and 120 GiB of storage on every plan |
| Retention | Around 10 GiB of real disk per box, and 'Packages, files and environment are still there after a stop and a start'. |
| Egress | No egress price and no transfer allowance are published on the page read; metered is recorded as false because nothing is known to be charged per gigabyte, which is an absence of evidence, not a promise of free traffic. free_allowance: not stated |
| Identity | card A prepaid wallet funds usage and paid top-ups are refundable within 14 days; the card type, hold and debit terms were not stated on the page read. Unverified. |
| Limits |
the included allowance resets each cycle, so the meter is the plan and not a signup grant; a stopped box keeps billing disk until deletion |
| Binding | per-object-cap The shape ceiling is 4 vCPU, but the deciding wall is the rate: USD 0.0504 per vCPU-hour and USD 0.0144 per GiB-hour put the smallest box at USD 48.62 a month. |
| Interface | rest inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed |
| Tooling | not stated |
| Composes with | No free lane fits this provider: the cheapest start is USD 19 a month on Starter with USD 30 of included usage. Free network traffic still matters for the egress topic, because the same workload on bunny.net would pay USD 0.01 per GB in Europe. |
| Reliability | Files survive a stop and a start; no reliability event observed. |
| Notes | Check of the vendor's own arithmetic: 0.0504 + 0.0144 + 10 x 0.00018 = USD 0.0666/hour, which is exactly the headline 'smallest box' figure, so the rate card and the summary agree. At 730 h: 0.0666 x 730 = USD 48.62. The docs page (docs.boxlite.ai/cloud/pricing) returned a JavaScript shell on two attempts, so the plan table (Starter USD 19/month with USD 30 of quota, Pro USD 149, Max USD 499) is unverified. |
| Evidence rung | documented The rates, the smallest box, the per-box ceilings, the USD 100 credit and the persistence sentence are quoted from the vendor's own page read today. What would raise it: the egress terms and the payment method, neither of which is on that page. |
