Questions builders ask
What is an agent sandbox?
An isolated environment an AI agent drives instead of your own machine. For web tasks that is a cloud browser the agent controls over CDP, Playwright or MCP; for desktop apps it is a full Linux, Windows or macOS VM with screenshot, mouse and keyboard actions. This list covers both. Sandboxes that only run code (E2B, Modal, Daytona’s code sandboxes) are compared on sandboxproviders.com and e2balternatives.com.
How much does a cloud browser for an AI agent cost per hour?
16 cloud browsers publish an hourly rate. They run from $0.01 (Notte) to $0.21 (BrowserCat), with the middle at $0.09 (Scrapeless Browser). Browserbase charges $0.10 on its Startup plan and Steel $0.08 on Scale. Plan fees and traffic can add to the rate; TinyBrowser includes proxy routing. AgentCore’s resource example is excluded from this range. Sort the table by Price per hour.
Which sandboxes give an agent a full Windows, Linux or macOS desktop?
10 do: Windows 365 for Agents, E2B Desktop, Daytona Computer Use, Orgo, Cua, Hopx Desktop, Anthropic Computer Use Reference, Solari Desktops, Simular Box and Alibaba AgentBay Computer Use. Windows 365 for Agents rents Windows Cloud PCs at $0.40 an hour in the US, and Orgo starts Linux desktops at $0.023. Daytona Computer Use adds macOS VMs on Apple M4 Pro hardware. 10 expose a screenshot, mouse and keyboard API for computer-use models. See computer-use sandboxes.
Which cloud browsers handle CAPTCHAs and bot detection?
13 bundle anti-bot stealth with automatic CAPTCHA solving, including Browserbase, Steel, Hyperbrowser, Anchor Browser, Kernel and Notte. Most sell residential proxies on top. The stealth browser list sets their hourly price, proxy add-on, saved profiles and session limits side by side.
Which agent sandboxes have an MCP server?
18 of 36 publish an official MCP server, so Claude, Cursor or any MCP client can drive the browser or desktop through a documented integration: Browserbase, Steel, Hyperbrowser, Anchor Browser, Browserless, Kernel, Notte, Cloudflare Browser Rendering, Azure Playwright Workspaces, Lightpanda, Scrapeless Browser, Oxylabs Agent Browser, Windows 365 for Agents, Orgo, Cua, Simular Box, Alibaba AgentBay Browser and Alibaba AgentBay Computer Use. Filter the table by MCP server.
Which ones are SOC 2 Type II?
7 state a SOC 2 Type II report on their own pages: Browserbase, Anchor Browser, Browserless, Kernel, Airtop, Browser Use Cloud and Notte. Filter the table by SOC 2, and open a row for the source.
How this table is built
Full methodologyEvery value comes from the vendor’s own pricing page, docs or GitHub repository. The small number next to a figure opens that source. An empty cell means the vendor does not publish the figure, and remains empty. Reference environments require your own hosting.
Hourly prices use published self-serve usage rates; the calculation basis names the required plan, conversions and included services. Each row carries the date we last checked it, newest 11 Nov 2026. Spot a stale number? Email hello@agentsandboxlist.com with the source and we update the row.
