Billing
NeuroHash uses a simple, transparent billing model: per-minute usage, charged hourly in ETH.
How Billing Works
- Instance launch — When you launch an instance, the first hour's cost is immediately deducted from your wallet in ETH
- Hourly charges — Every hour, the system calculates the cost in USD, converts it to ETH using live CoinGecko exchange rates, and deducts it from your wallet
- Instance termination — When you terminate an instance, billing stops immediately
Price Conversion
GPU instance prices are listed in USD per hour. The actual ETH charge is calculated using real-time ETH/USD rates:
ETH charge = (USD price per hour) / (current ETH/USD rate)
For example, if an H100 instance costs $2.69/hr and ETH is at $2,500:
ETH charge = $2.69 / $2,500 = 0.001076 ETH per hour
Billing Schedule
| Event | Action |
|---|---|
| Instance launch | First hour deducted immediately |
| Every hour | Automatic charge based on live ETH rates |
| Insufficient balance | Instance automatically terminated |
| Instance terminated | Billing stops, no further charges |
Automatic Termination
If your wallet balance is insufficient to cover the hourly charge, the system will automatically terminate your instance to prevent negative balance.
warning
Automatic termination due to insufficient funds is permanent. All data on the instance's local storage will be lost. Keep your wallet funded to avoid unexpected termination.
Cost Management Tips
- Monitor your balance regularly in Dashboard > Settings
- Estimate costs before launching — multiply the hourly rate by your expected usage duration
- Terminate unused instances — instances continue to bill even when idle
- Use lower-cost GPUs for development (A10 at ~$0.75/hr) and switch to powerful GPUs (H100, B200) only for production training
No Hidden Fees
- No egress fees — download your data freely
- No minimum spend — pay only for what you use
- No setup fees — launch and terminate at will
- 60-second billing granularity — charged per minute of actual use
Viewing Your Charges
Current instance costs are visible in your dashboard. Each running instance shows its hourly rate alongside its status, region, and connection details.
