Krova Cloud vs E2B
Sandboxes for AI agents and code interpreters, driven by an SDK.Here is what each one costs at the same size, what they're genuinely better at, and when you should pick them instead of us.
The same machine, both prices
Priced at 2 vCPU · 4 GB RAM · 40 GB disk, running 24/7.
Krova Cloud
$10.22/mo
$0.0140/hr · billed by the minute · no platform fee
E2B
$120.89/mo
$0.1656/hr · plus a $150/mo platform fee
At this size E2B costs 11.8× more than Krova Cloud on usage alone — before their $150/month platform fee, which would take it to 26.5×.
How we got there
E2B: $0.000014 per vCPU-second and $0.0000045 per GiB-second — $0.0504/vCPU-hr and $0.0162/GiB-hr — plus $150/month for the Pro tier.
Krova Cloud: $0.001/hr per vCPU, $0.0025/hr per GB RAM, $0.00005/hr per GB disk. Monthly figures are the hourly rate × 730.

What each one is better at
Where E2B is better
- SOC 2 and HIPAA. They publish both; we have neither, and we say so on our security page.
- Purpose-built SDK for agent workflows, with a filesystem and code-interpreter API we do not ship.
- Per-second billing. We bill by the minute, so a five-second sandbox costs you a minute.
- Sub-second cold starts from a warm pool, tuned for very short, very bursty runs.
- $21M in funding and a larger team behind the product.
Where Krova Cloud is better
- No session limit. Their sandboxes stop at 1 hour on Hobby and 24 hours on Pro — a Cube runs until you stop it.
- No monthly platform fee. Pro is $150/month before you run anything.
- Full root SSH into a real Linux server, not only an SDK surface.
- The same Cube can become your production host, so there is no migration when the experiment works.
Pick E2B instead if…
you need thousands of very short, very bursty sandboxes with per-second granularity, or your buyer requires SOC 2 today.
