Which one, for what

Agent 37 Cloud D

Good for A product that gives each end user a long-lived agent machine that is idle most of the day and needs a harness preinstalled.

Ahead on

  • Security & auth, 49 against 39
  • Maintenance & community, 65 against 58
  • Transparency & trust, 56 against 25

Watch for

No status page was found. status.agent37.com returns 404, and the terms promise no uptime level

Morph Cloud D

Good for Agents that need to checkpoint and fork a running machine with memory intact, for parallel attempts, evaluations or reinforcement learning rollouts.

Ahead on

  • Reliability, 63 against 27
  • Schema & documentation, 72 against 57

Watch for

No terms of service, privacy policy, DPA or subprocessor list found on morph.so or cloud.morph.so

Verdicts

Agent 37 Cloud

Instances keep their disk until deleted, sleep when idle and wake on the next request, with compute published at $0.80 a vCPU-month and stable error codes on both APIs. The product launched on 29 September 2026. No status page, OpenAPI file, SDK library or published rate limits were found, and the starter credit needs a card.

Morph Cloud

Pause and snapshot keep memory and running processes, and one call branches an instance into several copies. A public OpenAPI file covers 69 operations. No terms of service, privacy policy or security page was found, the free plan includes no compute credit, and the changelog holds one entry from November 2024.

Before you call either

Agent 37 Cloud

  1. Send the key as Authorization: Bearer to api.agent37.com and as X-Agent37-Key to the instance URL. The Bearer form on instance URLs is deprecated
  2. Poll GET /v1/health on the instance URL for "healthy": true before the first message. status: running only means the machine is up
  3. Check whether error is a string before reading error.code. Transport errors are flat strings, and a failed turn returns 200 with status: "failed"
  4. Don't blindly retry an exec that timed out after 13 minutes. The command keeps running, so a retry starts a second copy
  5. Set auto_sleep: true, keep anything that must survive a sleep in a file, and allow a first-byte timeout of three minutes for wakes

Morph Cloud

  1. Set ttl_seconds and ttl_action when starting an instance. Nothing in the docs stops an instance with no TTL from billing MCUs
  2. Pass auth_mode: api_key when exposing an HTTP service. The default is none, which makes the URL public
  3. Enable wake_on_ssh before calling exec on an instance that may be paused. There is no separate exec wake setting
  4. Use /api/instance/list and /api/snapshot/list with page and limit (default 50, maximum 1,000). The plain list routes return everything
  5. On a 503 from snapshot, branch, pause or reboot, wait for the Retry-After value before repeating the call

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
