Decision notes
Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Developers able to govern agent execution, network access and resource budgets
Choose another approach if
- Assuming a free base plan makes all runtime free
- Requiring universal zero retention or PHI use without Enterprise BAA
Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
Displayed $ ISO currency and actual regional tax remain unconfirmed; terms make fees tax-exclusive. Hobby has no base fee plus usage, with $100 one-time credit, not monthly free compute. Pro is $150/month plus usage. Running default 2 vCPU costs $0.000028/second plus 4GiB RAM $0.000018/second; model APIs and other resources are separate. Calculator totals are examples, not quotes. Higher concurrency and Enterprise/BYOC have separate commitments. Terms generally bill monthly, allow more frequent risk billing and make charges non-refundable; paid-credit expiry, paused-storage charges, local totals and exact order allowances need confirmation.
Pricing source read:
Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Apache-2.0 covers the identified E2B repository code with licence/notices and change markings, not the entire proprietary hosted service, model weights or output clearance. Hosted terms reserve non-OSS rights, restrict resale and require written consent for third-party applications interacting with the service; confirm your integration/order. Website/model Submissions receive a perpetual, irrevocable service/business-purpose licence; no blanket hosted no-training or zero-retention commitment was established. Website privacy has separate account/usage collection and US transfers, not a full sandbox data contract. BYOC is managed with control-plane/metrics exchange, while Enterprise PHI use needs a signed BAA; model providers, tools, logs and paused snapshots have separate data paths.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
Original 4.5/5 retained; its original scoring worksheet and hands-on evidence are unavailable. This documentation review did not re-score it.
Overview
E2B gives agents Linux sandbox machines for commands, files, code and computer-use tools through documented Python and TypeScript SDKs. You bring model access and agent logic; compute is another service, not a model licence.
Separate E2B Cloud, managed Enterprise BYOC, self-operated open-source code and the private-cloud option marked in development. BYOC keeps specified workload data in your account but control-plane calls and anonymized metrics still cross the boundary. Shutdown/timeout destroys a sandbox, while pause preserves filesystem and memory until killed; this is not a blanket deletion guarantee. Network policy, secrets, model calls and persistence need configuration review.

Pros / Cons
Pros
- Documented machine, code and persistence APIs
- Apache code and distinct hosting options
Cons
- Compute and persistence are separate from model costs
- Managed/BYOC scope and hosted terms need review
Who it's for
Controlled agent code execution
Reviewable data processing or computer-use environments
Bottom line
Choose the operating channel and persistence policy first, then budget sandbox seconds and model services separately.
