Quartz · shared vCPU · 1 Gbps port
Four shared vCPUs and 8 GB of memory, for parallel work and memory-hungry tools.
Quartz Q8, one metered price
Per hour
$0.05/hour
Per day (24 hours)
$1.20/day
Monthly cap
$25.00/month max
Initial credit to order: $5. It is prepaid credit, not a fee: it pays for 100 hours of usage at $0.05/hour, and when it runs out you top up.
Prices are in US dollars only and exclude taxes; any VAT or sales tax is added on the invoice according to your country.
Each duration priced on the meter: every started hour at the hourly price, never more than the monthly price in a billing period.

| 1 hour | $0.051 × $0.05/hour |

Quartz Q8 stops charging at $25.00 per billing period, after 500 hours; the rest of that billing period is free. Any other duration: price it on the tape.
Run test shards side by side and build Docker images without swapping.
Playwright or Puppeteer end-to-end tests with several browser instances open.
