FAQ
Answers for common Roost questions.
Use this page for direct answers on positioning, workflow, and pricing.
Is Roost a disposable sandbox?
Roost is built for continuity. Machines can sleep when idle, but state is preserved so tasks, files, and environment setup remain available across sessions.
Can I run coding agents for hours?
Yes. Long-running coding tasks are a core use case. You can reconnect later and continue from the same machine context.
How does Roost pricing work?
Roost uses usage-based pricing: active machine time is billed at a higher rate, and sleeping machine time is billed at a lower monthly rate.
How do I start using Roost?
Create a machine via SSH, connect to it, run your tools, and disconnect when done. Reconnect later to continue from where you left off.
