E2B
Isolated cloud sandboxes where AI agents can use a terminal, filesystem, and Git while running code.
About E2B
E2B supplies cloud sandboxes where AI agents can execute code and use terminal, filesystem, and Git tools without entering the host application environment. Common uses include coding agents, deep-research workflows, computer-use agents, automations, and reinforcement-learning workloads. E2B charges by the second while a sandbox is running; billing stops when it is paused, killed, or times out. Hobby has no monthly base fee and comes with $100 in one-time credits, though each continuous run is limited to one hour and concurrency is capped at 20 sandboxes. Pro costs $150 per month plus usage. It extends continuous runtime to 24 hours, supports 100-1,100 concurrent sandboxes, and allows five sandbox creations per second. Enterprise terms are custom. The service suits developers who need configurable, isolated execution and can actively manage usage, sandbox state, and spending limits.
Best for
Best use cases
Testing agent-generated code without exposing the host application environment
Operating coding or research agents that require terminal and filesystem access
Scaling background automations while tracking running sandbox costs
Compare before choosing
Hobby removes the monthly base fee but caps each continuous run at one hour
Pro adds a $150 monthly fee and raises runtime, concurrency, and creation-rate limits
Enterprise replaces published limits and pricing with a custom agreement
Features
Coding agent execution
Run coding agents with isolated terminal, filesystem, and Git access inside cloud sandboxes.
Deep research agents
Give research agents an isolated computer for code execution, file processing, and tool-driven work.
Automated agent workflows
Run background and computer-use automations while controlling compute allocation and sandbox lifecycle.
Pros
- Isolated sandboxes reduce the operational risk of running agent-generated code in the host environment.
- Per-second billing stops when a sandbox is paused, killed, or times out, which supports active cost control.
- Hobby includes $100 in one-time credits and no monthly base fee, making initial evaluation less expensive.
Cons
- Compute remains usage-billed, so long-running or highly concurrent workloads can create variable monthly costs.
- The Hobby plan limits continuous runtime to one hour and concurrency to 20 sandboxes.
- Pro requires a $150 monthly base fee but does not include additional usage credits.
