Choose sandbox infrastructure that matches how your team operates.

GlobalStacks gives teams a practical path from self-hosted sandbox capacity on owned machines to managed clusters when operated infrastructure is worth the premium.

Start self-hosted

$1 per cluster

$1 per self-hosted cluster per month, plus the infrastructure you already operate.

Managed option

Usage meters

Managed clusters use transparent usage meters: $0.0504 per vCPU-hour, $0.0162 per GiB memory-hour, $0.000108 per GiB storage-hour, H100 at $3.95 per GPU-hour, and RTX PRO 6000 at $3.03 per GPU-hour where available.

Best fit

Keep control

Choose GlobalStacks when your team wants sandbox infrastructure on Proxmox, Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM64, bare-metal, or cloud hosts you control, with managed capacity available when you want GlobalStacks to operate the infrastructure.

Pricing reviewed June 14, 2026.

Daytona

AI sandbox infrastructure

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

Run self-hosted clusters for $1 per cluster per month, schedule workloads on your own hosts, attach distributed volumes, and move to managed GlobalStacks clusters only when you want operated capacity.

Vercel

Vercel-integrated isolated code execution

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

Use GlobalStacks when sandboxes need to run across owned hosts, Proxmox, bare metal, private networks, regional infrastructure, or future managed clusters 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 pay a low cluster-level platform fee for self-hosted 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 sandboxes need private-network placement, host-agent control, owned clusters, distributed volumes, and a path from self-hosted capacity to managed GPU capacity later.

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 instead of moving every sandbox workload to a hosted platform meter.

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 sandbox workloads on customer-owned infrastructure for a flat cluster fee, with controlled networking, host placement, and storage behavior.

Runloop

Devboxes for coding agents

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

GlobalStacks helps teams supply sandbox capacity from their own hosts, keep placement and networking explicit, and avoid paying hosted Devbox rates for every workload.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare Workers-connected containers

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

Use GlobalStacks when sandboxes need to run on private infrastructure, Proxmox, host-agent clusters, 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 a flat self-hosted cluster fee.

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 self-hosted clusters when you have suitable machines. Add managed GlobalStacks capacity when you want operated infrastructure, GPU availability, shared regions, or less host maintenance.
