FAQs
What counts as billable time?
Billable time is the time your code is actively using compute resources. Idle containers do not incur charges.
How are CPU and memory usage metered?
CPU usage is metered per physical core, per second. Memory usage is metered per GiB, per second.
What's an example of real-world CPU billing?
A container using 0.5 cores for 1 minute will be billed for 0.5 cores * 60 seconds * $0.000038/core/sec = $0.0114.
What's an example of real-world GPU billing?
A container using 1 H100 GPU for 10 seconds will be billed for 10 seconds * $0.001267/sec = $0.01267.
Can I add more than three team members to the starter plan?
No, the Starter plan is limited to three users. Please upgrade to a Team plan for more users.
What kinds of applications can I deploy using Modal?
Modal can run various applications, including LLM APIs, image generation, Parquet file analysis, and LLM-powered bots.
