AI Agent Sandbox Cost Comparison
Enter one workload — vCPUs, RAM, storage, sandboxes per day or month and average seconds. The table prices it on E2B Hobby, E2B Pro and Pro+, Daytona pay-as-you-go and LangSmith Sandboxes. E2B and Daytona compute rates are identical, so the gap is plan base, free credits, storage and session caps. Estimates only; provider pricing pages prevail.

E2B and Daytona charge effectively the same compute rates — $0.0504 per vCPU-hour and $0.0162 per GiB-hour, billed per second — so the difference comes from plan base (E2B Pro $150/mo), free credits (E2B Hobby $100 one-time vs Daytona $200), storage (E2B included; Daytona first 5 GiB free then $0.000108/GiB-h), session length (E2B Hobby 1 h, Pro 24 h) and concurrency caps (20 / 100 / 600 / 1,100). LangSmith Sandboxes bill $0.0576/vCPU-h, $0.01845/GiB-h and $0.000123/GiB-h storage in LSU ($1 each); Plus includes 8 LSU/month and up to 10 sandboxes (seat cost not shown). Monthly figures exclude free credits.

How it works
- Which AI agent sandbox is cheapest?
- For the same CPU and memory, E2B and Daytona charge the same compute rates ($0.0504/vCPU-h, $0.0162/GiB-h). E2B Hobby and Daytona are therefore tied on usage; E2B Pro adds $150/month; LangSmith Sandboxes are slightly higher per hour ($0.0576/vCPU-h, $0.01845/GiB-h).
- When does E2B Pro's $150 base stop mattering?
- The base is fixed, so its share falls as volume grows. The summary shows $150 ÷ tasks per task and the task count above which the base is less than half of the Pro bill.
- How do free credits compare?
- E2B Hobby gives a one-time $100 usage credit; Daytona includes $200 of free compute; LangSmith Plus includes 8 LSU of sandbox usage per month. Table totals exclude credits so steady-state costs are comparable; notes show how far each credit stretches.
- What limits should I check besides price?
- E2B Hobby caps sessions at 1 hour and 20 concurrent sandboxes; Pro allows 24 hours and 100 concurrent (600 / 1,100 with add-ons). LangSmith Plus allows up to 10 sandboxes. Daytona offers GPUs; E2B is CPU-only.
- Does this include LLM tokens?
- No. Sandbox compute is only part of an agent's bill. Add model tokens with the AI agent cost calculator, OpenAI code interpreter containers or Claude Managed Agents calculators, and browser sessions with the Browserbase calculator.
