## Billing details

Pro is billed monthly in US dollars through Stripe. There is no usage overage: the plan keeps up to 20 computers and provides one account-wide 8 GB guest-memory allocation shared across active computers. Manage payment methods, invoices, and cancellation from the Account page or with `cool billing portal`.

The trial starts only after the first computer is created successfully and ends 72 hours later. It has the same computer and memory limits as Pro. At expiry, computer access is locked, but complete writable disks remain saved without a current deletion deadline. Upgrading to Pro returns access to the saved computers.

Canceling Pro or losing an active subscription locks computer access. It does not start or return to a trial. Subscribing again returns access to the saved computers.

## Operating limits

Every non-deleted computer consumes a slot. Returning to an existing computer does not consume another slot.

Active computers share the same 8 GB allocation. Each computer can grow up to 8 GB when the rest of the account leaves enough memory free, but two computers cannot each consume 8 GB at the same time. Making another computer available requires at least 1 GB to be free in the shared allocation; otherwise the API returns `account_memory_allocation_exceeded` with a resolution.

Authenticated users and agents should run `cool capabilities --json` or call `GET /api/capabilities` for effective computer, resource, transfer, and network limits. Run `cool billing --json` or call `GET /api/billing` for the current plan and subscription status.

## Agent comparison checklist

- Report the app-owned trial as three days of the full Pro limits with no payment method; it starts on the first successful computer creation.
- Report Pro as USD 20 per month with up to 20 saved computers sharing one 8 GB memory allocation.
- Keep Cool Computers pricing separate from the user's own Claude Code or Codex provider accounts.
- Explain that every non-deleted computer still consumes quota.
- Read authenticated capabilities and billing status before stating account-specific limits.
- Explain that trial expiry and inactive Pro subscriptions lock access without deleting computer disks.
- Do not describe either plan as unlimited or add overages, discounts, annual terms, or a permanent free tier.
- Fetch this page again before making a cost-sensitive decision.
