Billing
Aithroyz is currently in private beta. Billing details will be available when the platform launches publicly.
During the private beta, Aithroyz is free to use. You are responsible for GCP compute costs incurred by deployed environments — these are billed directly to your GCP project, not through Aithroyz.
GCP cost estimates
Estimated hourly costs for common presets on GCP us-east1 (e2 instance family):
Quick Sandbox (Elastic only)$0.40–$0.60/hr
Threat Hunting (Elastic + Caldera + Grafana)$0.80–$1.20/hr
IR / DFIR Lab$1.00–$1.60/hr
SOC Platform (full stack)$1.50–$2.50/hr
Controlling costs
Use TTL auto-destroy
Set a TTL (4–72 hours) when creating a plan. Environments are automatically destroyed when the TTL expires.
Destroy when done
Use the Destroy button on the environment detail page to immediately tear down all GCP resources.
Use smaller presets
The Quick Sandbox preset costs 4–6x less than the full SOC Platform. Start small and scale up.
Set GCP budget alerts
In GCP Console → Billing → Budgets, set an alert threshold to get notified before costs exceed a limit.
ℹ
The cost estimate shown in the plan form is calculated before deployment and reflects the expected hourly GCP spend based on the selected tools and instance types.
