Battleships: Sandbox Wars

A new comparison ranks cloud runtime, sandbox and VM compute platforms for AI agents by modeling a monthly bill for one workload scaled from 0.1× to 10× sessions, with concurrency and egress scaling alongside it. The comparison, published by boat.dev, applies one pipeline and one set of rules to every provider, including boat.dev itself, and shows where plan fees, minimums and pool tiers make provider cost lines cross. Every provider, price and ranking is also published as plain files so a coding agent can run the search, with each answer linking to and quoting its source word for word.

The most comprehensive comparison of platforms offering cloud runtime / sandbox / VM compute for agents Monthly bill for this workload scaled from 0.1× to 10× sessions concurrency and egress scale with it . Plan fees, minimums and pool tiers make lines cross. Every provider, price and ranking is also published as plain files, so your coding agent can do the search for you. One pipeline and one set of rules for every provider, boat.dev included. Agents open every pricing page and doc in a real browser. Every answer links to its source and quotes it word for word. No quote, no answer. One engine bills your usage the way each provider does: per second, minimums, idle time, starts, plans, seats. Full matches first, cheapest on top. The rest show what they miss, so you decide what you can live with.
