Give agents isolated environments to run commands, manipulate files and execute code.
Give agents isolated environments to run commands, manipulate files and execute code.
Self-host the agent command, filesystem and code-execution sandbox workflow instead of paying for boat-managed sandbox compute. Container-based or configured alternative runtimes; not full managed-VM parity.
Requires Docker for local deployment or infrastructure you operate for production; CPU, memory, persistent storage, bandwidth, backups and operations are your responsibility. Model/API calls are separate. Container isolation and optional runtimes are not a promise of boat’s full Ubuntu VM, nested Docker, desktop, SSH/IP allocation, fleet forking or managed reliability. Choose the isolation boundary for your threat model; no sandbox escape or security audit performed. Capacity follows your hardware and configured runtime limits, not free hosted credits.
Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
