Launch a sandbox
Compute runs while the sandbox is running — from $0.04 / hr. Stop it and the meter stops.
Pricing
Idle time is free. Compute is what you pay for.
You pay for compute — from $0.04 / hr while a sandbox runs, only then. AI tokens are prepaid credits from $5, or bring your own OpenRouter key. No commitment, nothing to pay until you choose to.
How it works
You pay for what runs, nothing else
Run your agent
Use prepaid AI credits from $5, or set OPENROUTER_API_KEY on the agent to use your own provider key.
Cap your spend
Set a hard per-tenant spend ceiling so a run can never surprise you on the bill.

FAQ
Questions?
How is compute billed?
Per second, only while a sandbox is running. When a sandbox stops, the meter stops — idle time costs nothing.
What about model tokens?
Buy prepaid AI credits from $5 (10,000 tokens per dollar). They are one-off purchases and never renew. Or set OPENROUTER_API_KEY on an agent to use your own provider key instead.
Do I need my own AI API key?
No. If an agent has no key of its own, Nah uses its OpenRouter key and draws from your AI credits. If you prefer to pay your provider directly, add OPENROUTER_API_KEY in the agent's environment.
Is there a minimum or commitment?
No subscription commitment. Pay as you go has no minimum, and AI credits start at a one-off $5 purchase.
Can I set a spending limit?
Yes. Set a hard per-tenant spend ceiling so a run can never surprise you on the bill.
What's the difference between the two plans?
Pay as you go bills only while sandboxes run, from $0.04 / hr. Always-on is a flat ~$28/month for a persistent 24/7 sandbox with workspace sharing.
