Unmetered sandboxes on your own infrastructure.

Start free with a real 3-host BYO cluster. Upgrade for larger fleets, stronger governance, and managed capacity.

Bring your own infrastructure

Unmetered sandboxes on infrastructure you own.

Bring your own infrastructure mode is for teams that want to run GlobalStacks agents, sandbox runtimes, the Tailscale-compatible mesh, and distributed volumes on machines they already operate. You pay for your hardware and storage; paid GlobalStacks plans add more clusters, hosts, retention, support, and fleet controls.

Competitive position

The edge is infrastructure ownership.

GlobalStacks is not trying to win every hosted hourly-meter comparison. The practical edge is running sandbox infrastructure on the machines you already control, with managed clusters available later.

Compare providers

Where GlobalStacks wins

Self-managed plans turn existing Proxmox, Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM64, bare-metal, and cloud hosts into unmetered sandbox capacity.

Where managed fits

Managed clusters are for teams that want GlobalStacks-operated capacity, managed GPUs, shared regions, or less host maintenance.

Where others may be cheaper

Northflank, Freestyle, Cloudflare active CPU billing, and Vercel active CPU billing can be cheaper for specific hosted workloads.

Use your own machines first. Pay GlobalStacks when you need more connected hosts, longer retention, priority support, or managed infrastructure.
