= not documented publicly.

Where Notte is strong

  • Listed browser session rate of $0.01 per hour.
  • Plans from free ($10 one-time credit) to $100/month with 100 concurrent browsers.
  • Separate agents/functions concurrency allowance alongside browser concurrency.
  • On-premise deployment available on Enterprise.

Where Sandboxer differs

  • Notte offers browsers, not VMs with root, Docker or KVM.
  • Session length is capped per plan (up to 300 minutes on Startup); Sandboxer paid plans can run with no limit.
  • Included monthly credits expire each cycle, while Sandboxer plan dollars come back as machine time.

Pick Notte if

  • You need cheap browser sessions for agents.
  • You want on-premise deployment on an enterprise plan.
  • Short browser tasks fit inside the plan session caps.

Pick Sandboxer if

  • You need a full Ubuntu 24.04 VM with root, systemd, Docker and nested KVM rather than a browser only.
  • You want stop/resume that brings running processes back, and sandboxes that cost nothing while stopped.
  • You want coding agents (Claude Code, Codex and others) preinstalled and any port exposed as an HTTPS URL.
