Vendor type	hybrid	hybrid
Pricing	usage	freemium
Strengths	+ Sub-100ms sandbox creation suited to high-frequency agent code execution + Stateful sandboxes with snapshots for long-running agent sessions + Computer-use support across Linux, Windows, and macOS desktops + Open-source codebase with a managed, per-second-billed cloud	+ Fast sandbox spawn time + Persistent filesystem option + Open source with managed option
Tradeoffs	− Per-second compute billing requires careful lifecycle management for idle or long-lived sandboxes − Self-hosting the open-source stack is more operationally involved than using the managed cloud	− Cold-start latency vs warm pools
