Plan: prices pass every Cloudflare cost through
- Decided:
- postpaid with spend limits, as Vercel and Cloudflare do, and no per-seat price. Every cost a workspace causes on Cloudflare is metered to it, with Cloudflare's October 2026 prices and g1t's price side by side: sandbox minutes for every sandbox (agents, checks, the queue, workflow jobs, deploy builds), app requests, CPU and scripts, storage, git operations and model tokens, each past a small free allowance at 1.5x cost or more.

| 839 | + | A workspace that uses g1t lightly (a few agent runs, a small site) | |
| 840 | + | pays nothing or its activation; a workspace running agents all day pays | |
| 841 | + | for the sandboxes and models those agents use, with g1t's margin on | |
| 842 | + | each. Nothing in a workspace's bill is subsidised by another's. | |
