Pricing that pays for active compute, not for standby

Because Blaxel scales sandboxes to zero the second they're idle and resumes the full memory state in just 25 milliseconds, teams run up to 70% more cost-effectively in practice.

How it works

View the rate table
  • $0 compute costs on standby

    The runtime auto-suspends when idle, and suspended time never counts toward active CPU.

  • Same unit rates, lower bills

    Up to 70% more cost-effective through scale-down and consumption optimization.

  • Start for free

    Up to $200 in free credits. Spin up your first sandbox in under a second.

  • Scale with quotas

    Grow to 100,000+ concurrent sandboxes with tier-based quotas.

Compute

Give a computer to your agent. Persistent environments that idle to zero, resume in about 25ms, and scale instantly to 50,000+ concurrent machines.

Sandboxes

One microVM per agent, app, or job. Boot in milliseconds, resume from standby in about 25ms, and keep full state intact.

Storage

Give your agents lasting memory. Files, state, and context that survive restarts, resumes, and redeploys, from one session to years of retention.

Agent Drive

A distributed filesystem for real-time, multi-agent collaboration. Share files and session context across sandboxes, with storage that scales automatically.

Resource / ItemDescriptionRate

Data operationsRead and write operations against a drive, optimized for high-concurrency small-file access.Free during beta

Volumes

Durable, block-storage-backed mounts that retain agent data for years with a fully redundant solution.

Network

Control everything agents can reach. Allow-list outbound traffic, pin a fixed identity, keep credentials out of the sandbox, and route every model call through one endpoint.

Custom domains

Managed custom domains expose your agents on your own DNS through sandbox preview URLs.

[DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS]

Run Blaxel how you want

Run Blaxel the way your security and residency requirements demand.

The same runtime, the same 25 millisecond resumes, wherever your workloads need to live.

  • Managed cloud

    The fastest path to production. Fully managed by Blaxel, with tier-based quotas that scale as you grow. Reach 100,000+ concurrent sandboxes.

  • Private networking

    Run on Blaxel's managed cloud offering but interconnect your virtual private cloud through private endpoints, so your data never transits the public internet.

  • Bring-your-own-metal

    The closest option for self-hosted deployments. Deploy bare metal servers in your own VPC, and privately connect them to Blaxel control plane for the sandbox runtime, so data stays on your hardware during execution.

[FAQ]

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does an agent resume after being idle?
Sandboxes scale to zero after about 5 seconds of inactivity and resume from standby in roughly 25ms, even after months of being suspended.
Does my agent keep its memory between runs?
Yes. In-memory filesystem snapshots keep a suspended sandbox ready to resume with all running processes persisted. For guaranteed long-term persistence, attach a Volume or use Agent Drive, which can retain data for years.
How isolated is each agent?
Every agent runs in its own hardware-isolated microVM with full access to its filesystem, processes, and logs, plus native support for Zero Data Retention.
How long can an agent run?
Sandboxes are built for workloads lasting anywhere from a few seconds to multiple days.
What does it cost to keep an agent on standby?
You stop paying for compute while a sandbox is suspended. You only pay the standby snapshot storage rate to keep it ready for instant resume.
