Agent infrastructure / Alternatives

Compare AI sandbox platforms for your agent.

A working directory is only part of an agent's state. Compare how platforms preserve installed tools, system configuration, dependencies, and user files as the whole root filesystem grows.

Which AI sandbox fits your agent?

These six platforms are a starting point for agent code execution. Match the execution boundary, retained state, and lifecycle to your application. This is a use-case shortlist, not a benchmark ranking.

Overview sources checked November 6, 2026. Detailed comparison pages show their own review dates.

AI sandbox platform shortlist: use cases, questions to evaluate, and official documentation
Platform	Consider it for	Evaluate before choosing	Evidence
Sandbox0	A persistent Linux computer for each user's agent.	Whole-RootFS checkpoints, online growth on enabled templates, and file access while compute is paused. Default resume starts fresh processes; validate gVisor compatibility.	Sandbox0 docs
E2B	SDK-driven code execution, analysis, and agent tools.	Match sandbox lifetime, persistence mode, templates, and plan limits to your agent's tasks.	E2B docs
Daytona	Configurable development environments managed through SDKs.	Choose the sandbox class first, then check its isolation, persistence, resource limits, and supported tools.	Daytona docs
Modal	Sandbox execution alongside a broader compute platform.	Check how sandbox images, snapshots, file access, and resource billing fit the rest of your Modal application.	Modal docs
Vercel Sandbox	Programmatic code execution in a Vercel application workflow.	Review the current SDK, session lifecycle, persistence options, and execution limits before choosing a configuration.	Vercel docs
Cloudflare Sandboxes	Linux execution orchestrated from Cloudflare Workers.	Check the environment type, lifetime, storage and restore workflow, and maturity of the features you need.	Cloudflare docs

Compare the product boundary

Browser automation, GPUs, app hosting, and Linux agent runtimes solve different problems. Each comparison identifies the relevant product category.

Follow the evidence

Vendor documentation and pricing references accompany each comparison, with product scope and review dates. Check the linked sources for terms that apply to your plan and region.

Keep the lifecycle in the bill

CPU and memory meters alone omit important costs. Check paused storage, billing minimums, subscription requirements, and concurrency limits.
