Some users asked where is comparison with @boatdotdev. Added it, and scaled the bill to a real agent fleet

Very close, but Lizard still better price!
This list is missing the sandbox that costs $11.66 a month. Modal charges $171 for the same box

Enterprise has no cap on how many run at once.

yeah, but its not abstract in this case, its about market terms. Hyper competitive markets and hyper monopolisation. That's why it brings strategies like dumping on top. Especially with such labor efficiency growth.
"No pause" isn't a trade-off for agents, it's a missing basic. E2B, Daytona and Modal all keep memory + processes on pause. That's the bar for a sandbox company. You're a VM host with a sandbox label
Guys, you can't even pause a sandbox, only shut it down and boot it again from the disk. your snapshots save files, not the running machine
