Choose sandbox infrastructure that matches how your team operates.

GlobalStacks lets teams combine bring-your-own, shared managed, and dedicated managed infrastructure beneath one platform subscription.

Platform + BYO

$10 per month

One organization subscription across Studio, Products, and Infra: $10 per month with an annual commitment, billed monthly, or $12 with monthly flexibility.

Five BYO host slots and unlimited clusters are included. Additional hosts cost $2.50 per month with an annual commitment or $3 with monthly flexibility; workloads on eligible hosts are not metered.

Shared managed

$0.08 active CPU

Planned annual-commitment rates: $0.08 per active vCPU-hour, $0.04 per reserved vCPU-hour, $0.01 per GiB-hour of memory, $0.10 per GiB-month of persistent storage, and $0.05 per GB of external network. Flexible-month rates are $0.096, $0.048, $0.012, $0.12, and $0.06 respectively.

Dedicated managed

20% management

Provider infrastructure is passed through at cost. Management is 20% with a $25 monthly minimum per host on an annual commitment, or 24% with a $30 minimum on monthly flexibility. CPU and memory are not metered within the host.

Choose GlobalStacks when Studio and Product workloads need to move across BYO, shared managed, and dedicated managed infrastructure without changing control planes.

GlobalStacks includes a managed private mesh for encrypted control-plane, agent, and backend traffic across eligible GS-hosted and customer-owned hosts. Public traffic still enters through explicit ingress; customers do not have to run or configure a separate mesh service for the standard path.

Railway

Managed deployment platform and agent runtime

Developers and teams that want the quickest managed path from a GitHub repository to a running service, PR preview environments, domains, logs, rollbacks, templates, and short-lived agent sandboxes.

Choose GlobalStacks when deployment is one part of a product system that must also span customer-owned or BYO infrastructure, product surfaces and design systems, controlled source adoption, and permissioned AI operations with durable approval evidence.

Cloudflare OS

Cloudflare-native AI productivity platform

Organizations that want a Cloudflare-native agent workspace for documents, small apps, and governed internal workflows, with a starter repo that customizes a pinned upstream release.

Choose GlobalStacks when you need the product and control plane to span BYO hosts, customer-managed clusters, private networks, and customer-controlled identity without depending on a Cloudflare-hosted runtime boundary.

Coolify

Self-hosted application deployment platform

Developers and small teams that want a polished UI for quickly deploying Docker applications, Compose stacks, databases, and a broad catalog of one-click services on Linux servers.

Choose GlobalStacks when application delivery must be paired with outbound connected agents, typed and auditable host operations, explicit runtime placement, policy-scoped network access, and an installable product lifecycle across customer-owned infrastructure.

Dokku

Self-hosted, Git-driven platform as a service

Developers who prefer a CLI-first, Git-push deployment workflow with Dockerfiles or buildpacks, plugins for backing services, and a small self-hosted PaaS surface.

Choose GlobalStacks when application delivery needs a customer-owned execution fleet with agent-backed lifecycle operations, explicit network and isolation policy, brokered source access, environment-aware product workflows, and durable audit evidence.

CapRover

Self-hosted Docker and Docker Swarm platform

Teams that want an inexpensive, approachable Docker-based control panel for a public server, wildcard-domain applications, one-click apps, and simple Docker Swarm scaling.

Choose GlobalStacks when you need outbound agent connectivity, typed lifecycle operations, explicit default-deny runtime networking, visibility into isolation and placement, and a path from application delivery into governed products, data, and recovery workflows.

Daytona

AI sandbox infrastructure

Teams that want a hosted AI sandbox service with published usage meters and startup credits.

Use one platform subscription across Studio, Products, and Infra, then combine BYO hosts, shared managed capacity, and dedicated managed production infrastructure.

Vercel

Vercel-integrated isolated code execution

Vercel-native applications that need isolated code execution close to the Vercel platform.

Use GlobalStacks when workloads need to run across owned hosts, Proxmox, bare metal, private networks, shared managed capacity, or dedicated managed hosts instead of staying inside a Vercel-only workflow.

E2B

AI code interpreter sandboxes

Teams that want a focused code-interpreter sandbox API with established AI-agent adoption.

Choose GlobalStacks when sandbox economics and control matter: connect your own machines, keep capacity close to your data and networks, and use the same platform across creation, product operations, and infrastructure.

Modal

Serverless compute with sandboxes and GPUs

ML-heavy workloads, GPU-backed agent tools, and teams already using Modal's serverless model.

Use GlobalStacks when workloads need private-network placement, host-agent control, distributed volumes, and a choice of BYO, shared managed, or dedicated managed capacity.

Northflank

Developer platform and sandbox-capable compute

Teams that want a broader managed platform with competitive hosted compute and GPU pricing.

GlobalStacks lets teams reuse hardware, cloud accounts, Proxmox nodes, and private networks while adding shared or dedicated managed capacity where it fits.

Freestyle

Persistent VMs for AI app builders

AI app builders and products that need persistent full VMs at low hosted CPU rates.

Choose GlobalStacks when your team has existing hosts, wants cluster-level scheduling, and needs a control plane for sandbox runtimes, mesh networking, and volumes across owned machines.

Blaxel

Persistent standby sandboxes

Idle-heavy agent sessions that benefit from automatic standby and fast resume.

Use GlobalStacks when your team wants one platform subscription across controlled networking, host placement, storage, Studio, and Products with BYO and managed hosting options.

Runloop

Devboxes for coding agents

Teams building coding agents that value Devbox workflows, benchmark features, and enterprise VPC deployment.

GlobalStacks helps teams combine their own hosts with shared or dedicated managed capacity while keeping placement and networking explicit.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare Workers-connected containers

Cloudflare-native products that need programmable containers linked to Workers.

Use GlobalStacks when workloads need to run on private infrastructure, Proxmox, shared or dedicated managed capacity, distributed volumes, or runtime networks outside a single edge platform.

CodeSandbox

Snapshot and forking development sandboxes

Products that need VM snapshots, environment forking, and code interpretation tied to Together AI workflows.

Choose GlobalStacks when the priority is customer-owned infrastructure, cluster scheduling, agent mesh networking, and one platform spanning Studio, Products, and Infra.

Buying guide

Hosted meters are only one part of the decision.

If your team only needs hosted sandboxes, some providers can be less expensive for specific workload shapes. GlobalStacks is designed for teams that also care about where sandboxes run, which networks they can reach, which hosts they land on, and how existing infrastructure is reused.

Start with the platform subscription and use BYO, shared managed, dedicated managed, or a combination across development, staging, production, and burst capacity.
