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**Vercel Sandbox.** Active CPU billing, so waiting on model responses costs only memory. Tied to a Vercel team and project even when called from elsewhere, and access tokens reach the whole team.\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### Vercel Sandbox\n\n1. Call `sandbox.stop()` when the task is done. Memory bills until the session ends\n2. Use `Sandbox.getOrCreate` with a name so retries land in the same sandbox\n3. Set `networkPolicy` to `deny-all` for untrusted code. The default is allow-all\n4. Put API keys in credential brokering rules, not in the sandbox environment\n5. Pass `persistent: false` for one-off runs so no snapshot is stored or billed\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Morph Cloud or Vercel Sandbox?\n\nVercel Sandbox scores 69.6 (B) on agent readiness against Morph Cloud's 50.8 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Morph Cloud and Vercel Sandbox need an API key?\n\nMorph Cloud needs an API key. Vercel Sandbox takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Morph Cloud and Vercel Sandbox without installing anything?\n\nYes. Morph Cloud has a hosted endpoint at https://cloud.morph.so/api and Vercel Sandbox at https://api.vercel.com/v1/sandboxes.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/morph-cloud-vs-vercel-sandbox.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/morph-cloud-vs-vercel-sandbox.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"morph-cloud\", \"b\": \"vercel-sandbox\"}`.
