koigrid vs Vercel Sandboxes / e2b
Ephemeral compute for agents — the flat-rate alternative to e2b, Modal and Vercel Sandboxes.
e2b and Vercel Sandboxes made it easy for AI agents to run code in isolated, disposable environments. koigrid gives you the same one-shot compute — image + command in, output out — at a flat rate, on the same runner fleet as your Apps and Jobs, driven by an agent token with scopes.
| Feature | koigrid | Vercel Sandboxes / e2b |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat rate | Per second / tier |
| Run once, auto-teardown | Yes | Yes |
| Memory / time limits | Yes | Yes |
| Same platform as your apps | Yes | No (separate) |
| Agent token + scopes | Native | Varies |
What koigrid improves
One platform
Sandboxes run on the same fleet as your Apps, Jobs and Databases.
Flat, predictable
One price — no per-second meter to watch.
Agent-native
An agent runs a sandbox with its scoped token.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Vercel Sandboxes / e2b?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from Vercel Sandboxes / e2b without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Is my data hosted in the EU?
Yes. koigrid is EU-hosted (on Hetzner) with data sovereignty by default.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
