## Watch-outs

- 47 listings lack a complete modeled bill under these assumptions — open sources before buying.
- Per-minute rates and fixed bundles are different purchases; unlimited plans use your monthly-minute assumption for comparison only.

## Scenario presets

- [iOS CI · light](https://maccloudindex.com/runners?months=3&ciMinutes=2000&sort=value) — 2,000 compute minutes/month for 3 months
- [CI under USD 100](https://maccloudindex.com/runners?months=1&maxCost=100&sort=value) — Default minutes for 1 month, modeled bill ≤ USD 100

## Honesty

- Published provider claims only; not live stock or independent benchmarks.
- Native currency and billing minimums are preserved; no FX conversion.
- Budget filter `maxCost` compares USD modeled bills only (https://maccloudindex.com/methodology).
