GlobalStacks vs Together Code Sandbox

Together Code Sandbox is built around isolated development environments, snapshots, and forking. GlobalStacks is for teams that need a reusable sandbox infrastructure layer.

Together Code Sandbox

When CodeSandbox fits

Best fit
Products that need VM snapshots, environment forking, and code interpretation tied to Together AI workflows.
Pricing
VM credits are $0.01486 each. Published examples include Pico at $0.0743 per hour, Nano at $0.1486 per hour, and Micro at $0.2972 per hour.
GPU
No public GPU sandbox meter in the reviewed Code Sandbox pricing material.
Important tradeoff
If your product mainly needs browser development environments and cloning ergonomics, CodeSandbox-style tooling may be a closer fit.

GlobalStacks

When to choose GlobalStacks

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

Platform subscription and BYO

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 pricing

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 pricing

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.

Private mesh included

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.

Decision guide

Pick the model that matches your workload.

Choose GlobalStacks when Studio and Product workloads need to run across your own hosts, private networks, shared managed capacity, or customer-exclusive managed servers. One organization subscription includes Studio, Products, Infra, five BYO hosts, and unlimited clusters.

Combine BYO, shared managed, and dedicated managed infrastructure across development, staging, production, and burst capacity without changing the control-plane model.

The same model includes private encrypted mesh traffic for eligible control-plane, agent, and backend paths. Public exposure remains an explicit ingress decision rather than a side effect of joining the mesh.
