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**Sprites.** A Sprite keeps a 100 GB ext4 disk between runs, bills compute only while active and can be checkpointed and restored through a published OpenAPI contract. The status page records four Sprites incidents in the last 90 days, one lasting over seven hours, and outbound network access is unrestricted until a policy is set.\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### Sprites\n\n1. Create a token at sprites.dev/account after a browser signup, and send it as `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` to `https://api.sprites.dev`\n2. Follow the OpenAPI document, not the product page example. Create with `POST /v1/sprites` and a JSON `name`, and run commands with `POST /v1/sprites/{name}/exec` using `cmd` query parameters\n3. Set a network policy with `POST /v1/sprites/{name}/policy/network` before running untrusted code. Egress is open until one is set\n4. Processes started by exec stop on a cold wake. Define a Service for anything that must answer the request that wakes the Sprite\n5. Create a checkpoint before a restore. Restoring replaces the filesystem, ends active sessions and keeps no copy of the replaced state\n6. Sprite creation is limited to 10 a minute on pay-as-you-go. The Go SDK reads `Retry-After` and the error code `sprite_creation_rate_limited` on a 429\n7. Delete Sprites you no longer need. An idle Sprite still bills cold storage for the bytes it holds\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Morph Cloud or Sprites?\n\nSprites scores 58.3 (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 Morph Cloud and Sprites need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Morph Cloud and Sprites without installing anything?\n\nMorph Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://cloud.morph.so/api. No hosted endpoint is listed for Sprites.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/morph-cloud-vs-sprites.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/morph-cloud-vs-sprites.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"morph-cloud\", \"b\": \"sprites\"}`.
