Render bills by the second. The page says the workspace fee is waived if a workspace has no services or activity.
Sample monthly bills
Our math: a Pro workspace with one $7 web service and one $6 Postgres comes to $38 a month. The same setup on Hobby comes to $13 a month. A Pro workspace that sends 100 GB of bandwidth pays for 75 GB past the 25 GB allowance, which is $11.25.
What we withhold
We do not list every compute size. The full tables run to 12 CPU for services and higher for Postgres. Check the Render page for those. We do not publish Render Workflows totals, because they depend on active CPU hours and GB hours.
