  "price": "Free: $5 monthly compute credits, 20 concurrent runs, 1-day log retention. Hobby $10/mo, Pro $50/mo (200+ concurrent). Compute $0.0000169 to $0.00068 per second plus $0.25 per 10,000 runs.",
  "tier": "mixed",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "Write background tasks as plain TypeScript functions inside your repo; the SDK handles queueing, retries, checkpointing and long-running execution with <b>no timeouts</b>. Apache-2.0 licensed and self-hostable. Realtime hooks stream run status straight into a React UI.",
  "why": "The obvious choice for a Next.js app that needs a job to run for ten minutes when Vercel functions cap out. <code>npx trigger.dev@latest dev</code> gives local development against production infrastructure with almost no config.",
  "warn": "Billing is <b>per second of compute</b>, so a task idling on a slow API still bills unless you use the wait primitives. The free tier keeps logs for only one day, which makes debugging yesterday's failure impossible.",
