Agent37 and all 36 alternatives: running costs and sourced lifecycle performance
Provider	730-hour cost	Create / startup	Resume / wake	Sleep / suspend	Run a command
Agent37Measured snapshot	$4.76 Pricing source Assumptions Standard shared 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 4 GB retained disk. No plan fee. Models and tools billed separately. Sustained heavy CPU can be limited on busy hosts.	1.29 s median Measured snapshot Method Successful create API duration, from entering API authentication through the response. The sandbox has started; this does not wait for tenant application readiness or the first command. Mixed shapes, images, host regions and runtimes. API timers exclude the caller round trip. 37 observations from October 22, 2026 at 00:50 UTC to October 22, 2026 at 01:15 UTC. Early snapshot; small samples can vary.	176 ms median Measured snapshot Method Host-timed restoration of a same-host gVisor memory checkpoint, including local startup housekeeping. Excludes the client round trip and subsequent command. Host reports are not filtered by workspace; cold boots and no-ops are excluded. API timers exclude the caller round trip. 38 observations from October 22, 2026 at 00:50 UTC to October 22, 2026 at 01:15 UTC. Early snapshot; small samples can vary.	Not collected	461 ms median Measured snapshot Method Successful exec API duration, including the tenant command runtime. Commands vary across requests. This is not a controlled echo benchmark. API timers exclude the caller round trip. 811 observations from October 22, 2026 at 00:50 UTC to October 22, 2026 at 01:15 UTC. Early snapshot; small samples can vary.
Daytona Sandbox	$120.89 Pricing source Assumptions $0.0504/vCPU-hour + $0.0162/GiB-hour Compute only, billed by the second. First 5 GiB disk free; additional disk $0.000108/GiB-hour. Trial credits excluded.	819 ms median Published benchmark Method Lizard's October 12, 2026 public benchmark: 300 starts timed through the first Python command's output. Railway US East runner, default Daytona snapshot, US region, 1 vCPU / 1 GiB. Includes client/network time; provider configurations differ.	1.254 s (stop/start) Published benchmark Method LogRocket's August 4, 2026 benchmark timed a stopped sandbox's start through its first executed command. Filesystem survives stop/start; memory and running processes do not. Sample count, percentile and client location were not disclosed.	Not published	Not published
E2B Sandbox	$120.89 Pricing source Assumptions $0.000014/vCPU-second + $0.0000045/GiB-second Usage only. Hobby: default shape, 1-hour sessions, 10 GiB disk. Pro: $150/month extra, custom resources, up to 24-hour sessions, 20 GiB disk. Larger/custom shapes may need a quote.	264 ms median Published benchmark Method Lizard's October 12, 2026 public benchmark: 300 starts timed through the first Python command's output. Railway US East runner, default E2B code-interpreter template, resources and region. Includes client/network time; provider configurations differ.	~1 s Vendor source Method Documented resume time for a paused sandbox that preserves filesystem and memory. No percentile or network location is specified.	~4 s per GiB RAM Vendor source Method Documented time to pause and save filesystem plus memory. This scales with RAM and is the operation duration, not the inactivity timeout before pausing.	Not published
Blaxel Sandbox	$120.89 Pricing source Assumptions CPU scales with RAM. $0.0000115/GB RAM-second of active runtime Matches memory; CPU scales automatically, so this is not a fixed-vCPU match. Snapshot storage $0.20/GB-month, volumes $0.12/GB-month and images $0.045/GB-month extra.	<1 s Vendor source Method Claim for provisioning and connecting to a fresh microVM. The source does not state a percentile, image size or client location.	~25 ms Vendor source Method Resume from standby with memory state restored. This is not fresh provisioning or a measured remote command round trip; no percentile is specified.	Not published	Not published
Modal Sandbox	$173.71 Pricing source Assumptions $0.00003942/physical-core-second + $0.00000667/GiB-second One physical core = two vCPUs. Billed at the greater of requested or used resources; assumes selected resources requested. Monthly compute allowances and paid plans excluded.	929 ms median Published benchmark Method Lizard's October 12, 2026 public benchmark: 300 starts timed through the first Python command's output. Railway US East runner, debian_slim, us-east, 2 physical cores / 2 GiB. Includes client/network time; provider configurations differ. Create alone returned before the sandbox could run code.	2.347 s (snapshot boot) Published benchmark Method LogRocket's August 4, 2026 benchmark timed a new sandbox booted from a filesystem snapshot through its first executed command. This restores files, not memory or live processes. Sample count, percentile and client location were not disclosed.	Not published	~96 ms US; ~370 ms APAC Published benchmark Method SkyPilot's June 9, 2026 comparison reports Modal command latency with a nearby US client and an APAC client. This is separate from create plus first exec. No percentile or sample count is stated for these regional exec figures.
Cloudflare Sandbox Sandbox	$145.28 Pricing source Assumptions 2 vCPU · 6 GiB. $0.000020/active-vCPU-second + $0.0000025/GiB-second + $0.00000007/GB-second disk Includes runtime disk at full CPU use. Custom sizes need 3 GiB/vCPU; default limits are 4 vCPU / 12 GiB, with increases by request. The largest shape needs approval, so no estimate is shown. $5 Workers plan, allowances, requests, Durable Objects and persistence excluded.	<600 ms median Vendor source Method Sandbox SDK 1.0 claim for running the first command on a prepared image. The guide runs from Workers; it does not specify external client latency or the hardware used.	Not published	Not published	Not published
Vercel Sandbox Sandbox	$248.78 Pricing source Assumptions $0.128/active-CPU-hour + $0.0212/GB-hour Full CPU use at the displayed base regional rate. Waiting on I/O reduces CPU charges. Plan fees, included usage, creations, transfer and storage excluded; rates vary by region.	421 ms median Published benchmark Method ComputeSDK's August 7, 2026 public benchmark: 100 sequential starts timed through a successful node -v command, with 100% success. GitHub Actions on Namespace runners; includes client/network time. Published statistics trim the fastest and slowest 5% of successful runs; provider configurations differ.	<1 s p75; ~5 s p95 Vendor source Method April 2026 report for filesystem snapshot restoration, with about 95% cache hits. It does not restore live processes or establish client-to-first-command latency.	Not published	Not published
AWS AgentCore Code Interpreter Sandbox	$158.26 Pricing source Assumptions $0.0895/vCPU-hour consumed + $0.00945/GB-hour of peak memory Illustrative 2 vCPU consumed and 4 GB peak memory throughout 730 aggregate hours, not a selectable 2/4 machine or uninterrupted session. Idle CPU is not billed; 128 MB memory minimum, system overhead and network charges apply.	Not published	Not published	Not published	Not published
AWS EC2 Infrastructure	$55.85 Pricing source Assumptions c6a.large · US East · DIY. Linux C6a: $0.0765 / $0.153 per hour in US East; $0.306 in US West On-demand VM compute only. EBS, public IPv4 and transfer extra. You manage isolation, agent setup, updates and backups.	32 s median (4 runs) Published benchmark Method VPSBenchmarks' AWS review, updated October 15, 2026: order to SSH availability across four mixed-plan trials, ranging from 20 to 60 seconds. This is not a benchmark of the C6a shape used for pricing.	Not published	Not published	Not published
AWS Fargate Infrastructure	$72.08 Pricing source Assumptions US East · DIY. $0.000011244/vCPU-second + $0.000001235/GB-second in us-east-1 Serverless containers with hardware isolation per task. You configure networking, storage and the agent lifecycle. Ephemeral storage above 20 GB, transfer and other AWS services extra; one-minute minimum billing.	Not published	Not published	Not published	Not published
Azure Dynamic Sessions Sandbox	No comparable quote Pricing source Assumptions Code interpreter: allocated session-hours. Custom containers: dedicated E16 pool instances. No direct 2 vCPU / 4 GB per-sandbox quote here. Custom-container costs include pool capacity for both active and ready sessions; code interpreter billing uses one-hour increments. Price your region and pool configuration in Azure.	<1 s allocation Vendor source Method Microsoft describes subsecond allocation from an already-prewarmed session pool. Creating and warming that pool is outside this timing.	Not published	Not published	Not published
Beam Sandbox	$165.83 Pricing source Assumptions $0.0000375/physical-core-second + $0.0000064/GiB-second Sandbox rates; one physical core = two vCPUs. Beam also offers persistent VMs at $0.0252/vCPU-hour + $0.0054/GiB-hour, with a 50 GiB root disk. Plan allowances excluded.	1-3 s cold boot Vendor source Method Beam's product page gives this range for sandboxes with dependencies baked into their images. No percentile or matching first-command measurement is supplied.	Not published	Not published	Not published
boat.dev Sandbox	$13.14 Pricing source Assumptions small. $0.018 / $0.036 / $0.072 per hour, billed per second Compute usage shown. Full VMs include 12/50/125 GB disk; stopped sandboxes retain state for 14 days without compute charges. The $20/month plan covers $20 of usage, so a lighter month still bills $20 and unused credit expires. Named snapshots past the first 10 cost $1.70/month each.	Not published	Not published	Not published	Not published
CodeSandbox SDK Sandbox	$108.48 Pricing source Assumptions Nano. Nano/Micro/Small: 10 / 20 / 40 VM credits per hour at $0.01486 per credit Legacy CodeSandbox SDK rates; Together recommends its successor for new integrations. Runtime rounds up to the minute. Plan fees and included credits excluded; Build allows 10 concurrent VMs. Hibernation stops compute billing.	2.7 s p95 Vendor source Method May 2025 launch benchmark for a fresh CodeSandbox-based VM. This describes the legacy SDK product, not the current Together Sandbox SDK.	Within 1 s Vendor source Method The legacy SDK README claims snapshot restoration within one second. This is restoration of saved VM state, not a fresh image build.	Not published	Not published
Cua Adjacent tool	No comparable quote Pricing source Assumptions Bring your own compute. No comparable hosted sandbox rate published Cua's current offer connects computer-use agents to your own compute. Its earlier hosted Fleet rate is no longer published, so no managed-compute estimate is shown.	Not published	Not published	Not published	Not published
Deno Sandbox Sandbox	$219.00 Pricing source Assumptions $0.10/active-CPU-hour + $0.025/GiB-hour 2 vCPU and 4 GiB at full CPU use for 730 aggregate runtime hours, excluding the required paid plan and included allowances. Volumes cost $0.20/GiB-month. This is usage across sessions, not a promise of one uninterrupted month-long sandbox. Deno Deploy has an announced hosting sunset.	<200 ms Vendor source Method Deno Sandbox's published startup claim. The source does not provide a percentile, sample count or equivalent first-command benchmark.	Not published	Not published	Not published
DigitalOcean Droplet Infrastructure	$24.00 Pricing source Assumptions Basic · DIY. Basic shared CPU: $24 / $48 / $96 per month VM retained all month, including powered-off time; 80/160/320 GiB SSD included.

You operate the sandbox stack.	45 s (one run) Published benchmark Method VPSBenchmarks' September 16, 2025 trial: Basic Regular, 1 vCPU / 2 GB, Ubuntu, Frankfurt. Order to accepting connections, without agent setup. This historical test uses a smaller shape than the pricing example.	Not published	Not published	Not published
DigitalOcean Harness Sandbox	$91.98 Pricing source Assumptions $0.044/vCPU-hour + $0.0095/GB-hour Bills consumed CPU and allocated memory over time, so lower CPU use can cost less. Volumes, snapshots and custom templates $0.05/GiB-month; egress $0.01/GiB. Requires a prepaid balance.	886 ms p50 Vendor source Method Create to runtime readiness in DigitalOcean's September 21, 2026 internal benchmark, requested 2 vCPU / 4 GB from a RIC1 Droplet. It is not our create-to-first-command test.	305 ms p50 Vendor source Method Resume to runtime readiness in the same DigitalOcean benchmark. This excludes the next agent response, which the vendor measured separately.	Not published	189 ms p50 Vendor source Method Command round trip in an already-running session through DigitalOcean's public API, measured from RIC1. Our production metric includes varied tenant command runtimes and excludes the caller round trip, so the workloads and timer boundaries differ.
Docker Sandboxes Sandbox	$102.20 Pricing source Assumptions Small. $0.140 / $0.280 / $0.560 per hour, metered per second Cloud microVM compute, including setup, idle time and retries.

Lower utilization costs less.	1-2 s Vendor source Method Fly's January 2026 Sprites launch article describes fresh VM creation in this range and shows a one-second CLI example. No sample count or percentile is supplied.	100-500 ms warm Vendor source Method Warm wake retains memory and processes. A cold wake instead takes 1-2 s and starts processes fresh, according to Fly's lifecycle docs.	Not published	Not published
Freestyle Sandbox	$96.54 Pricing source Assumptions $0.04032/vCPU-hour + $0.0129/GiB-hour Gross compute before monthly allowances of 200 vCPU-hours and 400 GiB-hours. Free hard-stops at allowances; persistent VMs require Hobby ($50/month) or Pro ($500/month), credited against usage. Storage $0.000086/GiB-hour and egress $0.02/GB beyond their allowances.	<400 ms p99 Vendor source Method Documentation claim for provisioning a full Linux VM. It does not specify the client location, sample count or time to complete a first command.	<100 ms Vendor source Method Freestyle's comparison page claims resume with the VM's state intact. It does not disclose a sample count, percentile or client location.	Low tens of ms Vendor source Method Freestyle's September 14, 2026 article describes whole-VM pause, including saved memory, in low tens of milliseconds. This is a vendor estimate without a numeric percentile or test configuration.	Not published
Google Cloud Run Sandboxes Infrastructure	No comparable quote Pricing source Assumptions Price the parent Cloud Run resource, its billing mode and attached services. This is not a standalone 2 vCPU / 4 GB sandbox SKU. Parent resource type, region, active time, free allowances and external storage affect the bill, so we do not present a single equivalent monthly quote.	<500 ms Vendor source Method Google's August 20, 2026 announcement claims this startup time for Cloud Run sandboxes within an existing Cloud Run resource. It does not time the parent service's cold start or disclose a sample count, percentile or first-command boundary.	Not published	Not published	Not published

Boot time does not establish API-create-to-first-command latency or image-build time.	Not published	Not published	Not published
Novita Sandbox Sandbox	$85.15 Pricing source Assumptions $0.0000098/vCPU-second + $0.0000032/GiB-second Caps at 8 vCPU and 8 GiB RAM per sandbox, so the largest shape here has no match. Storage $0.00009/GB-hour beyond the daily 60 GB allowance. Sessions cap at 24 hours on the paid tier.	<200 ms average Vendor source Method Published sandbox launch claim. The product page does not give sample counts, client location or a first-command measurement.	Not published	Not published	Not published
OpenComputer Sandbox	$275.94 Pricing source Assumptions $0.00630/minute at 2 vCPU · 4 GB, $0.01260/minute at 4 vCPU · 8 GB Pay-as-you-go machine rate; no public 16 GB match. The $20 and $200 plans grant 10 times their price in prepaid usage credits, so effective bills can be much lower. Model calls are separate; unused plan credits and plan terms affect savings.	<1 s p95 boot Vendor source Method OpenComputer's June 17, 2026 production report measures sandbox boot. It does not establish external API-to-first-command time or disclose a sample count.	1-2 s average Vendor source Method The June 2026 production report describes waking a hibernated VM. Latency depends on whether its checkpoint is cached on the worker or fetched from S3.	~6 s typical Vendor source Method The June 2026 report times hibernation through checkpoint storage in S3. This describes a typical successful operation, with no percentile or snapshot size disclosed.	Not published

Workload fit and comparison method

Built for the agents your customers keep

Personal agents, customer workspaces, scheduled tasks and app backends that keep files between requests and spend time waiting for models or tools. Low running rates make persistent workspaces affordable without a separate platform subscription.

Requirements that change the comparison

GPUs, strict sub-100ms live-memory forks and required private-cloud deployment are specific needs worth evaluating separately. A provider must actually support your requirement; a fast startup claim alone does not prove fast forks. Very short jobs within free allowances or sparse actual-usage billing can also change the bill.

What the price comparison assumes

2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM for 730 aggregate running hours, at list rates. Some providers sell a different minimum shape or meter actual CPU and memory; those differences are stated. Agent37 includes its 4 GB entry disk. Competitor storage, subscriptions, minimum spends and usage allowances are described separately. Session caps can require several sessions.

What these numbers do not prove

The same vCPU count does not promise the same throughput. Standard Agent37 shares host resources; sustained CPU use can be limited. We have not run an equal-hardware agent-task benchmark across this market. List rates do not establish the cheapest bill for every workload.

Pricing is reused from our provider calculator where the product has a comparable published rate; additional products show their own billing model. Each detailed page links official sources checked October 21, 2026. Product recommendations are our assessment.
