Summary

The Pro and Startup tier pages list a per-hour rate in prose ($0.200/Core/Hour, $0.01/Memory GB/Hour, $0.100/Memory GB/Hour for Startup) but the instance tables only show monthly totals. This PR adds an Hourly Cost column to each instance table so users can:

  • See the unit billing rate at a glance (matches how usage-based billing actually works).
  • Estimate cost for non-24x7 workloads, dev/test, and autoscaling scenarios.
  • Avoid having to mentally divide monthly numbers by 730 to reconcile with the prose.

Changes

  • cloud/startup-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to the instance pricing table; add a footnote that Monthly Cost = Hourly Cost x 730 hours/month.
  • cloud/pro-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to both the Standalone and Replicated (HA) instance pricing tables; add the same footnote under Standalone.
  • cloud/enterprise-tier.md: clarify that Enterprise custom pricing is also calculated on a per-hour basis (Core/Hour + Memory GB/Hour), to keep terminology consistent with the other paid tiers.

All hourly figures were derived from the published unit rates and verified against the existing monthly totals (e.g., Pro standalone E2-standard-2 = 2 cores x $0.200 + 8 GB x $0.01 = $0.480/hr x 730 = $350.40/month). Replicated hourly values are existing monthly / 730.

Testing

N/A - documentation-only change. No code, build, or test impact.

Memory / Performance Impact

N/A.

Related Issues

None.

Surface the per-hour rate alongside the existing monthly cost in
Startup and Pro tier instance tables, so users can easily reason about
usage-based billing, partial-day workloads, and autoscaling without
reverse-engineering the 730 hours/month assumption.

- cloud/startup-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to instance table.
- cloud/pro-tier.md: add Hourly Cost column to Standalone and
  Replicated instance tables.
- cloud/enterprise-tier.md: clarify Enterprise pricing is also
  calculated on a per-hour basis (Core/Hour + Memory GB/Hour).
- Add note: Monthly Cost = Hourly Cost x 730 hours/month.

All hourly figures verified against published rates
($0.200/Core/Hour, $0.01/Memory GB/Hour for Pro;
$0.100/Memory GB/Hour for Startup) and existing monthly totals.
