Today's rankings, recomputed daily
Four of these rank sized instances at what a month of the runtime costs. The other two rank subscription tiers against each other, which is the only place a tier can be ranked: 14 of the 103 rows here buy a seat with an allowance attached rather than a gigabyte of memory, and putting the two in one list would mislead in both directions.
