FAQ
How much does an AI sandbox cost per month?
It depends on executions, session duration and vCPUs. Roughly: monthly cost ≈ executions × (avg session seconds ÷ 3600) × vCPUs × the provider's $/vCPU-hour rate. This calculator computes that across every tracked provider so you can compare like-for-like.
Why is the cheapest headline rate not always the cheapest?
Idle/paused cost, per-creation fees, minimum billing increments and session caps all change the real bill. Two providers with similar vCPU rates can differ a lot once idle time and creation fees are included.
