Side by side
| Fly Sprites | Uno | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | CPU time actually used and memory actually used, per second; a Sprite that does nothing costs only its storage | A flat plan: Small $5, Plus $20 |
| Rates | $0.0385 per CPU-hour and $0.021875 per GB-hour | None on top of the plan |
| 1 vCPU and 1 GB of memory, busy all month | $44 | $5 |
| 4 vCPU and 4 GB of memory, busy all month | $176 | $20 |
| When idle | Pauses after about 30 seconds; compute billing stops | Sleeps after 10 minutes; the plan price stays flat |
| While asleep | Kept: the filesystem, installed packages, git repositories and on-disk databases. Lost: open network connections on every pause; running processes and memory too, once the Sprite goes cold | Disk kept, and memory and running programs are saved while it sleeps |
| Waking up | Warm: 100 to 500 ms. Cold: 1 to 2 seconds | Median 118 ms through the console, from one measurement window |
| Restore points | a copy-on-write snapshot of the writable filesystem, taken without stopping the Sprite; it does not capture memory or processes | Daily copies of the disk |
| Keeping it awake | the Tasks API holds a Sprite awake; one task lasts up to an hour, so longer jobs refresh it with a heartbeat | a long job or an agent working overnight keeps it awake |
| Size | Up to 8 vCPUs; memory no fixed amount; it grows with memory pressure; 100 GB per Sprite, billed for bytes written | From 1 vCPU and 1 GB to 32 vCPU and 48 GB; 15 GB of disk on Small |
| Storage price | $0.50 per GB a month while it runs; $0.02 per GB a month while it sleeps | 25 GB of cloud storage on Small, in the plan |
One machine busy for a month, Sprites against Uno
Whole-month cost in $ per month: 730 hours at the Sprites rates, against the flat Uno plan, for 1 vCPU and 1 GB of memory and 4 vCPU and 4 GB of memory.
Show as a table
| Option | $ per month | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Uno Small, 1 vCPU · 1 GB | 5 | Flat price, sleeps when idle, keeps memory |
| Sprites, 1 CPU · 1 GB | 44 | 730 hours of CPU and memory at the published rates |
| Uno Plus, 4 vCPU · 4 GB | 20 | Flat price, sleeps when idle, keeps memory |
| Sprites, 4 CPU · 4 GB | 176 | 730 hours of CPU and memory at the published rates |
How we counted
730 hours in a month, one CPU and one GB in use for all of them: 730 × ($0.0385 + $0.021875) = $44.07. Four CPUs and four GB are four times that: $176.29. Storage is left out. Sprites bill the CPU time and memory actually used, so an agent that mostly waits for a model costs less than this ceiling.
What survives sleep
A Sprite goes through three states. After about 30 seconds without work it is warm: the VM is suspended and the next request wakes it. If it stays idle longer it turns cold, and memory is dropped. An Uno computer has one sleeping state, and it saves memory.
For an agent that is a difference you feel. A terminal session, a half-finished build or a loaded model survives an Uno sleep. On a cold Sprite the files are there and the programs start again.
Where pay-per-use wins
Billing by use is cheaper for work that comes in bursts. At the Sprites rates, an hour of 1 vCPU and 1 GB of memory costs $0.060375, so $5 buys about 83 busy hours. Beyond that the flat plan is cheaper.
Where Uno is worse
- Under about 83 busy hours a month, Sprites cost less than $5. An agent that mostly waits for a model costs less still, because Sprites meter CPU time used.
- A Sprite can use up to 8 vCPUs when a job needs them, and its disk is 100 GB per Sprite, billed for bytes written. Small has 1 vCPU and 15 GB of disk; a boost lifts it to 2 vCPU for an hour.
- Sprites take a disk checkpoint when you ask, while the Sprite runs. Uno's copies of the disk are made daily.
- Our vCPU are shared, not dedicated, and paid plans run in one region today: Netherlands.
- Sprites wake in 100 to 500 ms when warm, as Fly states. Our median is 118 ms through the console, measured once. Neither number is a side-by-side test.
Your agent gets a clean address of its own
Your computer runs in the Netherlands. Its traffic can leave through a static address of a regular internet provider in one of 8 countries. Only your account works from that address.
- From a data-center address
- Sites see a server range shared with thousands of strangers. The agent's browser hits more captchas and blocks.
- From your Clean exit IP
- Sites see a regular internet provider's address in the country you picked. Fewer captchas, and less reason for Claude or ChatGPT to flag your account: nobody else works from it.
