■ Price list as of 2026-11-08

Pay for the seconds it runs.

Two classes, linear prices, no plans, no seats and no start fees. Prepaid: you top up a wallet, and usage draws from it.

Compute

Billed per second from the moment a sandbox runs until it stops. Nothing to create, start, resume, fork or snapshot one, and nothing while it waits in the queue.

Every size is priced from two unit rates:

  • perf $0.007/vCPU-h + $0.0025/GiB-h

Options

Options multiply the compute price of the sandboxes that use them.

Storage, network and wallet

Disk is included while a sandbox runs. Stored bytes are counted once, however many snapshots and forks share them.

Hourly prices are computed from each provider's own published rates, read on 2026-11-08; where this table and a provider's page differ, the page is right. A provider whose price we could not cite from its own page is left out.

Questions

What happens when you're full?
Your start waits in line: the API answers 202 with the sandbox queued, its position and an ETA, and starts it when room frees up. Queued time is not billed. If you'd rather fail fast, send on_full: "fail" and get 503 capacity_full with Retry-After and the same ETA.
What am I billed for when a sandbox is stopped?
No compute. Its disk is kept and billed as storage at $0.04 per GiB-month, on unique bytes only, and the first 20 GiB-months of each org are free.
Why no start fees?
Agents and CI start machines all the time, and a fee per start punishes exactly the workloads we're built for. You pay for the seconds a sandbox runs, and nothing else.
What does early access mean?
Accounts, API keys, members, the wallet and the API work today. No cell (the hosts that run sandboxes) is open to customers yet, so creating a sandbox answers 503 capacity_unavailable rather than queueing for capacity that doesn't exist. This is the price list we will open cells with.
How were other providers' prices taken?
From each provider's own public pricing page, on the date shown beside it, at list price: no discounts or negotiated rates, only the free credit and plan usage every customer gets. If a page has changed since, the provider's page is right and ours is out of date.
