Agent 37 Cloud vs Together Code Sandbox
Together Code Sandbox scores 53.6 (D) on agent readiness against Agent 37 Cloud's 46.1 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Both do sandbox persist.
Which one, for what
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.
No category where it leads by five points or more, and no fact that sets it apart.
Watch for
No status page was found. status.agent37.com returns 404, and the terms promise no uptime level
Good for Teams already buying from Together, and former CodeSandbox SDK users, who want Docker-defined sandboxes with disk and memory snapshots from Python or TypeScript.
Ahead on
- Schema & documentation, 86 against 57
- Agent ergonomics, 70 against 60
- Maintenance & community, 83 against 65
Watch for
The SDK and CLI work only for organisations Together has enabled, and the docs say to contact Together for access

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.
Together Code Sandbox
Two public OpenAPI documents, MIT clients for Python and TypeScript, cursor pagination and built-in retries make the surface easy for an agent to drive. Access is the limit. Together enables the SDK per organisation on request, publishes no rate limits or SLA, and neither status page names the sandbox service.
Before you call either
Agent 37 Cloud
- Send the key as
Authorization: Bearerto api.agent37.com and asX-Agent37-Keyto the instance URL. The Bearer form on instance URLs is deprecated - Poll
GET /v1/healthon the instance URL for"healthy": truebefore the first message.status: runningonly means the machine is up - Check whether
erroris a string before readingerror.code. Transport errors are flat strings, and a failed turn returns 200 withstatus: "failed" - Don't blindly retry an exec that timed out after 13 minutes. The command keeps running, so a retry starts a second copy
- 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
Together Code Sandbox
- Confirm the organisation is on Together's allowlist before installing. A valid
TOGETHER_API_KEYalone is not enough - Build a snapshot first with
snapshots.create. No default image exists, and every sandbox needssnapshot_idorsnapshot_alias - Set
ttlat creation or callterminate(). Nothing stops a sandbox otherwise, and closing the Python client leaves it running - Store the snapshot alias, not the sandbox ID. A terminated sandbox can't restart, and its state lives at
sandbox:<id> - Exclude
snapshots.createfrom retries withshould_retry, and setexperimental.network_policybefore serving anything private on a port
