Our standard instances at 3,75 GB of Ram and we keep a pool of three idle ones of those around. With the free account you can currently use larger instances of up to 16 GB of Ram and 1 Nvidia K80 GPU for free.

If you sign up for the paid plan which is 99$ per researcher per month you can provision more powerful machines – basically anything that Google Cloud offers.

We currently don't enforce any storage limits.

This is our first iteration of pricing though so I'm pretty sure this will still change over time. We've gotten a lot of feedback from people asking for a cheaper plan.

What most people don't realise however is that you can use most of the features (including private drafts) as it stands now for free. We've also been debating weather we should allow for private drafts on the free plan or take a stance on what open science really means (working in the open from the start) but decided agains this for now.

Curious to hear what others think about this. Do you expect drafts to be private and would it be a violation of those expectations if they were not?
