boat claims $37.8M in annual savings

boat’s aggressive pricing is its clearest wedge in the crowded agent-sandbox market, though the savings figure is a vendor estimate based on list-price comparisons.

• –Full VMs with Docker, browsers, SSH, desktops, snapshots, and forking support longer-lived agent workloads than short-lived code sandboxes.
• –The $20 monthly minimum converts directly into VM time, making the entry price unusually transparent for developers experimenting with agent fleets.
• –Europe-only regions, no GPU support, and start-rate limits may restrict adoption for latency-sensitive or high-scale workloads.
• –Competitor comparisons are useful, but actual savings depend heavily on workload utilization, idle time, and whether providers bill active CPU rather than wall-clock runtime.
