Agent37 runs agent harnesses inside sandboxes that each get their own filesystem, disk quota, and kernel-level isolation via gVisor. Users choose a ready-made harness (Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Pi) or bring a custom Docker image, and each sandbox keeps a separate customer's tools, files, and credentials. Sandboxes support auto-sleep when idle and wake on new requests, networking features for exposing authenticated URLs or connecting a custom domain, persistent storage that survives restarts, and automatic backups, along with observability for CPU, memory, disk usage, and logs.
The platform connects to over 1,000 apps through Composio (including Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, and Google Calendar), supports bringing your own model keys for Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or Grok, and offers paid tools such as web scraping, social data, people and company lookups, image and video processing, and email/call capabilities billed per call through Perflo at roughly a cent each with no separate vendor accounts required. Users can preinstall custom skills, prompts, and tools via a custom template, and set up scheduled runs using cron schedules for unattended agent execution. Security measures include per-sandbox egress firewalling to the public internet only, no public hostnames (traffic routes through Cloudflare's edge over TLS and requires an API key), encryption at rest and in transit, and a stated policy of not collecting or using customer prompts, files, or terminal sessions for AI training; SOC 2 Type I and readiness reports are available on request.
Billing is usage-based with no subscription, plan fee, or minimum: users prepay a balance that is metered per minute, charged for compute while a sandbox runs and for disk while it is kept (even idle). New accounts receive a $5 starter credit once a card is on file, and nothing is charged until the balance is topped up; if the balance runs out, sandboxes sleep until topped up again. Example unit rates are $0.0011 per vCPU-hour, $0.00096 per GB-hour for memory, and $0.00012 per GB-hour for disk, with a 2 vCPU/4GB sandbox running continuously for a month estimated at $4.76; a 4GB idle sandbox costs about $0.36/month for disk alone. Startups can access up to $10,000 in credits, starting with $1,000 and then matched to spend, via a call with the company.
Tracks CPU, memory, and disk usage and provides logs showing what ran in each sandbox and what needs attention.
Allows starting, stopping, resizing, or restarting sandboxes, with auto-sleep that pauses compute charges during inactivity and wakes on new requests.
Allows giving an agent a cron schedule so it runs unattended and the results can be reviewed afterward.
Bills compute and disk usage by the minute from a prepaid balance with no subscription, plan fee, or minimum, charging only for disk once a sandbox sleeps or stops.
Keeps files across sessions, sleeps, and restarts, and restores data from automatic backups when needed.
Offers prebuilt agent harnesses including Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, and Pi, or lets customers bring their own Docker-based harness.
Lets users preinstall their own skills, prompts, and tools with a custom template for their agent harness.
Connects to 1,000+ apps such as Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, and Google Calendar via Composio, and supports managed or bring-your-own-key models from Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and Grok.
Gives each sandbox an authenticated URL, lets users expose public ports, or connect their own domain to an app running inside the sandbox.
Provides access to paid tools like web scraping, social data, people and company data, image and video, and email/calls, billed per call through Perflo without needing vendor accounts or keys.
Keeps each customer's tools, files, and credentials in a separate sandbox enforced at the kernel level by gVisor so tenants can never see each other.
Treats every workload as untrusted, firewalls egress to the public internet only, routes all requests through Cloudflare's edge with API key authentication, and encrypts data at rest and in transit.
No subscription or plan fee; prepaid balance billed per minute of sandbox uptime. New accounts get a $5 starter credit and nothing is charged until you top up.
Special program for startups offering up to $10,000 in credits, starting with $1,000 and matching additional spend.
Infrastructure that bills like a utility, which is exactly the point.
“Agent37 sells sandbox compute down to the tenth of a millicent per hour. That's a strategic bet on where agent spend is headed, not just a cheaper line item.”
Seven ready-made harnesses, custom Docker support, and gVisor isolation at $0.0011/vCPU-hour puts this squarely in infrastructure-as-utility territory. That's the real pitch: stop budgeting for agent compute like it's a SaaS seat, start metering it like electricity.
The strategic question is whether your org is ready to think that way. If your agents still run on someone's laptop cron job, Agent37 is a jump two steps ahead, not a lateral move. The $10,000 startup credit match signals they want that leap to be cheap for early movers.
What the obvious alternative doesn't do: bill per minute with auto-sleep and let you walk away with zero commitment. What Agent37 doesn't do: give you multi-agent orchestration, so you're still the one wiring workflows together. Composio's 1,000+ app connections help close that gap some.
Per-minute billing with auto-sleep to disk-only cost is a pricing architecture most subscription-based sandbox providers simply don't offer.
Kernel-level isolation and no public hostnames cover the basics, but routing paid tools through a third party (Perflo) and integrations through another (Composio) means your risk surface isn't fully in Agent37's hands.
A $5 starter credit and no minimum spend means you can get a sandbox running the same day without a procurement cycle.
Metered infrastructure for agent workloads is a forward bet on how teams will run agents, not a cost cut on an existing tool.
Published per-unit rates to the hundredth of a cent and docs covering seven harnesses suggest active build-out, not a landing page with a waitlist.
Teams already running agent harnesses who want infrastructure billed like compute instead of seats.
Skip it if you need built-in multi-agent orchestration out of the box.
Per-minute billing and gVisor isolation make this a credible agent-sandbox layer, if you're comfortable owning orchestration yourself.
“Agent37 is infrastructure, not a platform — kernel-level isolation and metered pricing done well, with the integration and orchestration burden left to you.”
gVisor at the kernel level for tenant isolation is the right primitive, not a marketing checkbox. Combined with no public hostnames and Cloudflare-edge-only ingress, this reads like someone who's actually run multi-tenant workloads and got burned by egress before. That's the architecture decision that matters most three years out — it's hard to retrofit isolation onto a platform that started trusting its own sandboxes.
Per-minute billing at $0.0011/vCPU-hour with auto-sleep is the real differentiator against subscription-based sandbox hosts; a 2vCPU/4GB box runs about $4.76/month continuously. The harness list (Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Pi) plus custom Docker support means you're not locked to one agent framework, which matters when harnesses churn as fast as they currently do.
The tradeoff: Composio covers 1,000+ app integrations, but orchestration, retries, and multi-agent coordination logic are still yours to build. SOC 2 Type I is a floor, not a ceiling, for anything touching regulated data. Fine as a compute layer under your own agent stack, not a replacement for one.
Priced well below typical sandbox-as-a-service billing at $0.0011/vCPU-hour, positioned squarely as cost-leader infra for agent runtime.
Per-minute metering and auto-sleep match how teams actually run bursty, idle-heavy agent workloads.
1,000+ app connections via Composio and BYO model keys cover a lot, but orchestration logic stays on your side.
Bring-your-own Docker and model keys avoid hard lock-in, but harness list (Hermes, OpenClaw, etc.) ties you to their maintained set over time.
gVisor kernel isolation plus per-sandbox egress firewalling is genuine infra craft, not surface-level sandboxing.
Teams running agent harnesses that need isolated, metered compute without owning sandbox infrastructure themselves.
Avoid if you need a fully managed agent orchestration layer rather than raw sandbox compute.
$0.0011 per vCPU-hour, metered. The invoice matches the usage, line by line.
“Rates are public, down to the fraction of a cent. No subscription math to reverse-engineer.”
$0.0011/vCPU-hour, $0.00096/GB memory, $0.00012/GB disk. A 2 vCPU/4GB box run continuous: $4.76/month. That's rare granularity for infrastructure billing.
Year 3, team running maybe 30 sandboxes with mixed uptime: call it $150-$400/month depending on idle ratios, since disk-only idle charges run $0.36/month per 4GB box. The real variable is the per-call tools billed through Perflo at roughly a cent each — those scale with agent activity, not seat count, so budget forecasting needs usage modeling, not headcount math.
$5 starter credit, no charge until topped up. No invoice surprise there. Startup credits up to $10,000, matched to spend, require a sales call to unlock — the one place procurement has to pick up the phone. Everything else is self-serve prepay, which is the opposite of the annual-contract hostage deal this category usually runs.
Self-serve prepay keeps onboarding light; startup credits still require a sales call to activate.
No subscription, no plan fee, no minimum — prepaid balance means no renewal window to track at all.
Per-unit rates ($0.0011/vCPU-hour etc.) are published with worked examples, not quote-gated.
Per-minute metering ties cost directly to sandbox uptime, but value from agent output itself is still on the customer to measure.
Compute and disk costs are cheap and visible, but per-call paid tools via Perflo add a variable line finance needs to model separately.
Finance teams who want metered, invoice-matches-usage billing instead of seat-based guesswork.
Avoid if you need a flat, fully predictable monthly number for board reporting with zero usage variance.
gVisor isolation and per-minute billing, but orchestration is on you
“Agent37 hands you a kernel-isolated box, seven prebuilt harnesses, and a billing model that charges to the minute. The part that scales a team's workflow — stitching agents together across sandboxes — isn't this product's job.”
What I'd want to poke at day three: CPU, memory, disk, and logs are all surfaced per sandbox, which matters when an agent harness starts looping and burning vCPU-hours at $0.0011 a pop and you need to know which sandbox is the culprit before the balance drains. Cron scheduling for unattended runs is the other thing I'd lean on daily — set it, walk away, review output later instead of babysitting a terminal.
The harness list (Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Pi) covers most of what teams are already running, and custom Docker images cover the rest, so you're not rewriting your agent to fit their box. Composio wiring into 1,000+ apps is a real integration surface, not a toy connector list.
Tradeoff: this is infrastructure, not a framework. No multi-agent coordination layer, no built-in retries across sandboxes — you're gluing that yourself, which is fine if you already have an orchestration layer and just need somewhere cheap and isolated to run it.
Auto-sleep and per-sandbox resource logs mean the thing you'd actually check mid-incident is already there.
The published per-unit rates down to $0.00012/GB-hour read like someone who actually bills customers wrote them, though I couldn't find an API reference to judge the deeper docs.
Per-call paid tools through Perflo and a separate managed gateway meter add moving pieces to track beyond the base vCPU/GB math.
Custom templates for preinstalled skills and prompts plus custom domains on sandboxes give room to grow past the default harness setup.
Bring-your-own Docker and bring-your-own model keys mean it slots into an existing agent stack rather than replacing it.
Teams that already have an agent harness picked out and just want cheap, isolated compute to run it on.
Avoid if you need a platform that also handles multi-agent orchestration logic out of the box.
Billed by the minute, but you're still the one babysitting the dashboard.
“Agent37 is infrastructure, not a product you live inside. The part that matters daily — watching sandboxes, reading logs, catching runaway spend — is left mostly to you.”
This isn't a tool you open and feel delighted by, it's plumbing. You spin up a sandbox running Claude Code or a custom Docker harness, it does its job, you check logs when something smells wrong. That's the whole relationship. The question for day-to-day use isn't 'does it spark joy,' it's 'when my agent spins out of control at 2am, will I know before my balance does.'
The observability angle — CPU, memory, disk, logs per sandbox — is the one piece that actually touches daily feel, and it reads like it was built by people who've been burned by a silent runaway process before. That's reassuring. But there's no mobile story here at all, which is fine for infra, except agent workloads are exactly the kind of thing you'd want a phone alert for.
The $5 starter credit and prepaid-no-surprise-renewal model make the first ten minutes low-stakes. Whether month three feels manageable depends entirely on whether you build your own guardrails around it, because Agent37 won't build them for you.
Per-sandbox logs and resource observability suggest real daily-use thought, but there's little else described about the interface itself.
Seven ready-made harnesses plus custom templates for preinstalling skills give a workable on-ramp, but orchestrating multiple sandboxes or tracking per-call tool spend through Perflo adds complexity nobody explains up front.
I couldn't find any mobile app or responsive dashboard mentioned, and for a product running unattended cron agents, that's a real gap, not a shrug.
A $5 starter credit with nothing charged until top-up lowers the stakes of trying it, though picking a harness and wiring credentials is still infra work, not a guided flow.
Automatic backups, persistent storage across restarts, and auto-sleep/wake behavior point to a team that's thought about failure modes, not just happy paths.
Teams comfortable monitoring infrastructure themselves who want granular per-minute billing for agent sandboxes.
Avoid if you want a polished dashboard experience or need to check on agents from your phone.
94% cheaper than most sandbox providers — than which ones, exactly?
“Agent37 publishes real unit rates and a believable isolation story. The headline superlative is the kind of number that needs a named baseline before it means anything.”
"Cheapest Cloud Sandbox for AI Agents" is a bold claim to put in a title tag. 94% lower cost than most providers — most providers isn't a competitor, it's a category average nobody can check. I've seen this exact framing from infra startups that later quietly dropped the superlative once someone ran the numbers against them.
What's grounded: per-minute billing, $5 starter credit, seven named harnesses, SOC 2 Type I. That's specific enough to trust more than the tagline.
Exit story is the real question. Docker-based custom harnesses should port elsewhere reasonably cleanly. But persistent storage, Composio's 1,000+ app connections, and Perflo's pay-per-call tools are all vendor-specific plumbing you'd have to rebuild. SOC 2 Type I, not Type II, also means procurement teams may stall before exit even becomes the question.
Per-minute metering down to $0.00012/GB-hour disk and $10,000 in startup credits is a real pricing wedge against flat-subscription sandbox hosts.
Custom Docker harnesses travel fine, but Composio integrations and Perflo billing are vendor-specific glue you'd rebuild elsewhere.
Docs and a pricing page are live and detailed; I couldn't find a changelog, which just means I couldn't confirm cadence either way.
The 94% cheaper claim on the title tag has no named baseline, while the per-unit pricing underneath it is genuinely transparent.
gVisor isolation, seven named harnesses, and specific per-minute rates back the core claims with real detail, not just adjectives.
Teams that want transparent per-minute pricing and are comfortable building their own orchestration on top.
You need Type II compliance today or want to verify the cost-savings claim against a specific named competitor.
Common questions answered by our AI research team
Agent37 uses prepaid balance billing with no subscription, plan fee, or minimum. You top up a balance and each sandbox spends it down per minute of uptime at rates like $0.80/vCPU, $0.70/GB RAM, and $0.09/GB disk per 730-hour month; new accounts get $5 free credit once a card is on file.
Compute charges stop the moment a sandbox stops or sleeps, leaving only disk charges, around $0.36 a month for 4 GB. Deleting the sandbox entirely means you pay nothing further.
Agent37 supports ready-made harnesses including Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, and Pi, plus custom Docker-based harnesses you bring yourself.
Each customer's tools, files, and credentials run in a separate sandbox enforced by gVisor at the kernel level, each with its own filesystem and hard disk quota so tenants can never see each other. Hosts have no public hostname; requests enter only through Cloudflare's edge over TLS with an API key required unless a port is explicitly made public.
Yes, bringing your own model keys means that spend never touches your Agent37 balance. Alternatively, using Agent37's gateway meters models, search, and integrations from the same balance with a spend cap you can set per sandbox.
Agent37 provides sandbox infrastructure for running AI agents, positioning itself as a lower-cost alternative to other sandbox providers.
