During the notebook creation, you can select **compute resources**, known as CPUs or GPUs. Their official pricing is available in the [OVHcloud Control Panel](/links/manager) or on the [OVHcloud Public Cloud website](/links/public-cloud/prices).

Rates for compute are mentioned per hour to facilitate reading of the prices, but the billing granularity remains **per minute**.

As stated above and shown in the image above, you pay for these resources as long as you consume them. This happens when the image of your notebook is pulled, during the `STARTING` phase, but also during `RUNNING` and `STOPPING` phases, until you reach the `STOPPED` phase.
