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

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.

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

Together Code Sandbox D

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

  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

Together Code Sandbox

  1. Confirm the organisation is on Together's allowlist before installing. A valid TOGETHER_API_KEY alone is not enough
  2. Build a snapshot first with snapshots.create. No default image exists, and every sandbox needs snapshot_id or snapshot_alias
  3. Set ttl at creation or call terminate(). Nothing stops a sandbox otherwise, and closing the Python client leaves it running
  4. Store the snapshot alias, not the sandbox ID. A terminated sandbox can't restart, and its state lives at sandbox:<id>
  5. Exclude snapshots.create from retries with should_retry, and set experimental.network_policy before serving anything private on a port

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.
