What you get

Free tier of 750 instance-hours/month per workspace; then Starter web service $7/month (0.5 CPU / 512MB RAM, ~$0.05/hr), Standard 1 CPU / 2GB at $32/mo (~$0.20/hr).

Predictable flat per-instance pricing; a small always-on service for $7/mo. Workflows compute also at $0.05/hr (starter) per-hour.
