| Pricing model | Usage-based: per-second actual CPU consumption plus peak memory, storage, egress, checkpoints, templates, and applicable tool charges |
|---|---|
| Pricing The headline compute price as the provider states it. Sorting ranks prices stated per vCPU over time, converted to hourly. Other pricing models sort after, unranked. | $0.044 per vCPU-hour for CPU actual use |
| Free while idle Whether a stopped, paused, or sleeping sandbox costs nothing. | ✕ |
| Elastic Resources flex with what the sandbox actually uses, and the bill follows: yes when the provider bills on active or observed use, no when capacity is reserved or allocated and billed while it runs. | ✓ |
| Memory snapshots Whether RAM state survives a pause and resume, not just disk. | ✓ |
| Wake on request Whether a stopped sandbox wakes automatically on inbound traffic. | ✓ |
| Start / resume Typical time from create or resume to running. Sorting ranks stated times, converted to seconds; claims with no figure sort after, unranked. | Create: under a couple of seconds generally; resume: about 200 ms; LangGraph cold start: about 20 s |
| Max runtime The longest a sandbox may run. | – |
| Isolation The isolation technology between sandboxes. | Dedicated Firecracker microVM per session |
| GPUs Whether GPU instances are available for sandboxes. | – |
| Docker Whether Docker containers can run inside the sandbox. | – |
| SDKs | TypeScript, Go, Python |
