Pricing FAQ
We charge per GB‑hour ($0.02) but bill by the minute. Each minute costs 1/60th of the hourly rate. For example, 4GB for 30 minutes = 4 × 0.5 hours × $0.02 = $0.04.
No. The price you see is the price you pay. No setup fees, no idle fees, no data‑transfer fees within the platform. We only charge for RAM‑hours actually consumed by your tasks.
At $0.0091 per GB‑hour, Membook providers earn significantly more than comparable sharing platforms (which often pay $0.001–$0.002 per GB‑hour). We return 45.5% of consumer revenue to providers, one of the highest shares in the industry.
You can set a spending limit in your dashboard. When you reach 80% of your limit, we'll notify you. At 100%, tasks will pause until you add more funds. No surprise overage charges.
