$48/month for the droplet (could probably be cheaper on Hertzner) and $100/month for OpenAI plan. so ~$150/month but again this could be cheaper with a different VPS and using Terra/Luna.

I also have a claude max plan for coding but like I mentioned in the article coding is still separate from the agents.

A box with 2vcpu, 4gb ram and 50gb hdd on https://shellbox.dev is $0.02/hr and you pay per minute only for what you use. Even using it 24/7 is like less than $15

ya i'm sure there are lower cost options. My droplet is 8 gigs mem which I found necessary for 6 agents.

The x2 instance has 8gb memory. They go up to x8. And if you don't use it say during a weekend, then you stop it and resume on Monday, not paying for that period
