• Genymotion Cloud (SaaS) is charged by usage. The typical model is pay-as-you-go per minute per device, with Genymotion base costs (software usage) plus cloud layer charges where the device is executed (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.). A common listed value is $0.05 USD per minute per device, depending on the provider and image type. In addition, there are subscription/limit plans depending on the provider and marketplace. In some cases, there are test credits at the start, depending on the program (e.g., credits or evaluation period). Consult the specific provider's marketplace page for exact estimates and monthly charges.

• How billing works: you pay for the actual usage per minute of each device in Genymotion Cloud, plus infrastructure costs from the cloud provider (e.g., instances, storage) charged by the provider (e.g., AWS/GCP/Azure). There are test periods or credits depending on the plan and provider. For GCP, there is a $60 test credit during the evaluation period, but you also incur Compute Engine costs according to usage time.

• How to configure Genymotion directly on the Linux host (direct steps):

1) Access the Genymotion download page and choose Linux.

Site: Genymotion Desktop download. Genymotion Desktop download

2) Download the appropriate package for Linux (deb for Debian/Ubuntu or tar.xz for other distros).

3) Install:

• Debian/Ubuntu:

       sudo dpkg -i genymotion-*.deb
       sudo apt-get install -f
       

• Other distributions:

       tar xf genymotion-*.tar.xz
       cd genymotion-*
       ./genymotion
       

4) Open Genymotion Desktop, log in with your Genymotion account, and create/launch local Android devices.

5) Note: Genymotion Desktop does not support Windows 7; run on the Linux host or use Genymotion Cloud for cloud usage.

Sources:

• Linux installation instructions: Genymotion Desktop download and typical installation commands (deb/tar.xz).
• Support note: Genymotion Desktop does not work on Windows 7/VMs (previous conversation about using in VM).

You can mix Cloud/SaaS to test scenarios without relying on the local hypervisor. If you want, I can quickly estimate a budget for your specific setup (number of devices, estimated usage time, and cloud provider).

Do you have a preference between Genymotion Cloud (SaaS) or running directly on the Linux host?
