Modal vs Sandbox0

A side-by-side comparison built from both listings. Blank cells mean the company has not given that detail; we never guess.

Modal compared with Sandbox0
Detail Modal Sandbox0
What it doesThe platform for production AI Cloud agent sandbox with persistent filesystem and on-demand compute
StageNot given MVP
FoundedNot given Not given
Based inUS US
Pricing modelPaid Paid
PricingStarter plan is free with $30/month compute credits. Team plan is $250/month plus compute. Enterprise plan is custom. Compute is billed per second for CPU, GPU, and memory with no charges for idle time. Compute: $0.015 per GiB-hour (approximately $0.000004167 per GiB-second, billed by the second). Storage: $0.02 per GiB-month for retained incremental RootFS data and memory checkpoints. Network ingress and egress currently free. Object-store GET and PUT requests free. New users receive $5 free credi
Key features
  • Serve LLMs, image, video, and audio models
  • Isolated environments for coding agents and RL rollouts
  • Fine-tune and train models on GPUs
  • Autoscale compute from zero to thousands of GPUs
  • Distributed storage for models and weights
  • Global capacity across 20+ clouds
  • Serverless functions with HTTPS endpoints
  • Out-of-the-box observability and logs
  • Automatic filesystem growth as storage fills
  • Pause compute without losing work or paying compute charges
  • Resume to same environment on demand
  • Access files while paused without waking compute
  • Public HTTP services with auto-resume capability
  • Command-line interface (s0 CLI) for agent-native workflows
  • Incremental checkpoints to avoid full filesystem copies
  • Scoped API keys and team-based access controls
  • On-demand file reads without downloading entire filesystem
What makes it different
  • Custom infrastructure built for AI including container runtime, storage, and scheduler
  • Sub-second container startup times for GPU workloads
  • Pay only by the second with no idle charges
  • Programmatically create millions of concurrent sandboxes
  • Persistent filesystem across pause/resume without duplicating data
  • Pay only for compute time used; paused sandboxes have zero compute charges
  • Automatic filesystem growth so agents can install and persist unlimited tools
  • Same API for both human users and AI agents
