Pricing plan
The tier assigned to a workspace, which governs its resource limits and concurrency: how much can run, and how much can run at once.
It governs concurrency as well as capacity, which is the part that surprises people: a plan can allow plenty of total compute for the month while still limiting how much of it you can use at once.

- Organization: The top-level account that owns one or more workspaces and is the unit of billing. Members belong to an organization and hold roles within it.
- Workspace: An isolated compute environment with its own persistent storage, preinstalled libraries, and resource allocation. Where your sessions and clusters run.
- Usage: Accumulated compute consumed by an organization in a billing period, shown against plan limits on the dashboard.
- Billing period: The interval over which an organization’s compute usage is accumulated and charged.
- HPC as a service (HPCaaS): High-performance computing consumed on demand rather than owned: request compute for one run, stop paying when it ends. No hardware, no scheduler to run.
- Idle cluster: A cluster still running after its work finished. It bills at the full rate, and is the largest avoidable cost for most organizations.
