What you can use it for

Give agents isolated environments to run commands, manipulate files and execute code.

  • Run the core workflow on infrastructure you control.
  • No recurring software licence fee for the documented open-source route.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes

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.

Before you switch

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.

Alternatives to these paid apps

Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
