E2B pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
E2B (e2b.dev) is a GPU cloud platform. Monthly plan fee plus pay-per-second usage for vCPU and RAM, with add-ons that raise the concurrent-sandbox cap.. Free plan: Hobby: $0/mo with 20 concurrent sandboxes, 1-hour sessions, 10 GiB storage and a one-time $100 credit (the page does not say what follows the credit)..
What E2B costs
- 100 H100 hours: not offered (n/a: the page says sandboxes are CPU-only and E2B does not offer GPU sandboxes.)
- 24/7 GPU endpoint: not offered (n/a: no GPU, so no dedicated GPU endpoint for a custom model.)
- 1,000 sandbox hours: $165.60/mo (Hobby $0 (20 concurrent, 1-hour sessions). Usage at $0.000014/vCPU-s and $0.0000045/GiB-s: 1,000 h x 2 vCPU x $0.0504/vCPU-h = $100.80, plus 1,000 h x 4 GiB x $0.0162/GiB-h = $64.80. Disk is included; no per-session fee is stated; the $100 credit is one-time, so no deduction. Total $165.60. The page does not say whether rates differ by plan, so the published rates are assumed; 4 GB taken as 4 GiB.)
Prices are USD per month at on-demand, non-interruptible rates for three fixed workloads: 100 hours on one H100 80 GB GPU, one 24 GB-class GPU serving a model 24/7 (730 hours), and 1,000 hours of 2 vCPU / 4 GB agent sandboxes. They include required plan fees and separately billed CPU and RAM, net of recurring monthly credits; a dash means the product does not do that job.

Pricing page: e2b.dev/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Prices from e2b.dev/pricing (checked 2026-10-17), which match PricingSaaS on Pro's $150 and the $500 and $1,000 add-ons; no annual prices are shown. E2B sells no GPUs, so h100 and endpoint are n/a and only the sandbox point is priced.
