No terms of service, product privacy policy, request rate limit or incident history was found, and the only SDK is TypeScript.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Freestyle\n\n1. Send a `firewall` object on every `POST /v5/vms`. It is required, and a VM with no rules has no outbound internet\n2. Ask the owner to run `freestyle login` in a browser once, then mint a key with `freestyle tokens create --output json`\n3. Do not retry an exec that answers 409 `VM_NON_RESPONSIVE`. The command may already have run\n4. Keep `exec-await` under its 300,000 ms cap and use a PTY session or `x-freestyle-background-after-secs` for longer work\n5. Call the `/v5` paths. The unversioned duplicates in the OpenAPI file are marked deprecated\n\n### Morph Cloud\n\n1. Set `ttl_seconds` and `ttl_action` when starting an instance. Nothing in the docs stops an instance with no TTL from billing MCUs\n2. Pass `auth_mode: api_key` when exposing an HTTP service. The default is `none`, which makes the URL public\n3. Enable `wake_on_ssh` before calling exec on an instance that may be paused. There is no separate exec wake setting\n4. Use `/api/instance/list` and `/api/snapshot/list` with `page` and `limit` (default 50, maximum 1,000). The plain list routes return everything\n5. On a 503 from snapshot, branch, pause or reboot, wait for the `Retry-After` value before repeating the call\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Freestyle or Morph Cloud?\n\nFreestyle scores 58.5 (C) on agent readiness against Morph Cloud's 50.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Morph Cloud leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Freestyle and Morph Cloud need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Freestyle and Morph Cloud without installing anything?\n\nYes.
