Morph Cloud
Morph Cloud is a cloud platform that provides programmable virtual machines ('instances') built on a snapshot/branch/restore primitive called Infinibranch, along with 'devboxes' (development workspaces) layered on top. It targets developers and AI coding agents that need to spin up, fork, and resume isolated compute environments on demand, with Docker-in-Docker support and integrations for VS Code, Cursor, and CLI-based agents. Key features include sub-250ms snapshot restore, pause/resume capability, and TTL-based lifecycle management.
| Pricing model | Hourly billing in MCUs (Morph Compute Units), allocated via monthly subscription tiers |
|---|---|
| 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. | $0.05 per MCU (Morph Compute Unit) |
| 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. | ~250 ms (snapshot/restore via Infinibranch; cold-boot time for fresh images not documented) |
| Max runtime The longest a sandbox may run. | No fixed limit documented; TTLs control stop/pause on expiry |
| Isolation The isolation technology between sandboxes. | Full VMs (hypervisor technology not explicitly named in public docs) |
| GPUs Whether GPU instances are available for sandboxes. | – |
| Docker Whether Docker containers can run inside the sandbox. | ✓ |
| SDKs | Python, TypeScript |
✓ yes · ✕ no · – no cited public fact.
Morph Cloud bills compute only while an instance is actively used; snapshot and storage charges may still apply while paused.
