Blaxel review

Blaxel ranks sixth for a pricing model that fits how agents behave. Its site describes one microVM per agent, app or job that boots in milliseconds, auto-suspends when idle and resumes in about 25ms with memory state intact, so a sandbox can wait on a user or a model for hours without paying for CPU. Active compute bills $0.0000115 per GB of RAM per second, with snapshots at $0.20 per GB month. Beyond sandboxes it offers batch jobs across thousands of isolated machines, MCP server hosting on the same private network, an Agent Drive shared filesystem, static outbound IPs and per-workload outbound firewalling. Each sandbox keeps its root filesystem in memory and wipes it on deletion, and Europe and US regions are available. New accounts get up to $200 in credits. The site also announces that Blaxel has joined Baseten, so buyers should watch for plan changes, and the Agent Runtime product is not yet live.
