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**Runloop Devboxes.** Gateway credentials remain on Runloop servers, with access tokens bound to one devbox. Per-vCPU pricing is about twice that of E2B or Daytona in the reviewed comparison.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Runloop Devboxes\n\n1. Set an idle policy (`idle_time_seconds` with `on_idle: suspend`) so a forgotten devbox stops billing compute\n2. Route outbound API calls through an agent gateway instead of putting keys in the devbox environment\n3. Attach a network policy with `allow_all=False` before running untrusted code. Egress is open by default\n4. Restart background services after every resume. Nothing in memory survives\n5. Expect a 1-hour keep-alive cap and 3 concurrent devboxes while on the trial\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Morph Cloud or Runloop Devboxes?\n\nRunloop Devboxes scores 64.8 (B) on agent readiness against Morph Cloud's 50.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Morph Cloud and Runloop Devboxes need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Morph Cloud and Runloop Devboxes without installing anything?\n\nYes. Morph Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://cloud.morph.so/api and Runloop Devboxes at https://api.runloop.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/morph-cloud-vs-runloop.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/morph-cloud-vs-runloop.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"morph-cloud\", \"b\": \"runloop\"}`.
