Sandboxes are managed through a simple CLI (boat new, boat ssh/scp, boat prompt to run Claude or Codex inside, boat fork, boat stop) plus an HTTP API and Python/TypeScript SDKs. Billing is per-second and paused while sandboxes are stopped; there is a 7-day free trial with 25 compute hours, then plans from $20/mo.
