Orgo alternatives

Answer in brief

The 5 alternatives below are grouped by kind of sandbox, and each says what it does differently from Orgo. Start from whatever made you look: missing GPUs, session limits, self-hosting, pricing or isolation.

By the Agent Sandboxes editors · Updated

Why teams look beyond Orgo

A persistent-desktop service for computer-use agents with unusually transparent per-second pricing, though isolation details are thin.

  • Hypervisor, regions and compliance are not documented
  • Residential egress is US-only, Linux-only and by request
  • Windows requires the Scale plan or a paid add-on

Orgo alternatives, by kind

Persistent VMs and agent computers

Full, long-lived virtual machines that an agent keeps, forks and returns to.

  • exe.dev

    Persistent root VMs for people and their agents, driven entirely over SSH (or the same commands via HTTPS and MCP), with replicated NVMe storage, VM copies and flat-rate CPU/RAM pools in nine regions.

    • VM (VMM per VM)
    • BYOC
    • Snapshots

    How it differs: Developers who want a fleet of persistent root VMs they and their agents reach over SSH, at a flat monthly price. A flat-rate fleet of persistent SSH-driven VMs for agent-assisted developers, rather than an SDK-driven sandbox API for high-volume automation.

Browser and desktop sandboxes

Hosted browsers and full desktops that computer-use agents click, type and browse in.

  • Cua

    Open-source computer-use infrastructure: Linux sandboxes as gVisor containers and macOS or Windows sandboxes as VMs, run locally, in your own cloud account or as shared "Spaces".

    • gVisor container or VM
    • Open source
    • Self-hostable
    • Pause/resume

    How it differs: Teams that want open-source computer-use sandboxes on their own Macs, servers or cloud accounts, including macOS VMs on Apple silicon. The broadest open-source option for computer-use sandboxes across macOS, Linux and Windows, now firmly a self-run toolkit after the hosted cloud shut down.

  • Kasm Workspaces

    Container-streamed Linux desktops and browsers, self-hosted or as Kasm SaaS, with a Developer API and a free Community Edition that Kasm now also positions for agentic AI.

    • Docker container
    • Self-hostable
    • GPU

    How it differs: Organisations that already run browser-streamed desktops and want to give agents the same isolated, policy-controlled containers. A mature container-streaming VDI platform whose Developer API can hand agents isolated desktops, best suited to teams that already operate it.

  • Kernel

    Browsers for agents where each Chromium runs in its own Unikraft unikernel VM, with standby that stops billing, profiles, and open-source images under Apache-2.0.

    • Unikernel VM per browser
    • Open source
    • Self-hostable
    • GPU
    • Pause/resume

    How it differs: Agents that need fast, hypervisor-isolated browsers with pay-only-while-active billing. Hypervisor-isolated browsers with standby billing and open images, the most transparent isolation story among the closed clouds.

  • Scrapybara

    Hosted Ubuntu, browser and Windows desktop instances for computer-use agents, driven through Python and TypeScript SDKs with pause and resume.

    • Not documented
    • Pause/resume

    How it differs: Computer-use agents that need a ready-made Ubuntu or Windows desktop with a browser, bash, filesystem and Jupyter tools in one API. A compact computer-use desktop API with good tooling, but undocumented isolation and pricing and a parent company that has pivoted make it one to evaluate carefully.
