Product news and notes from the team building Prized.
- The best cloud dev environments for AI coding agents in 2026Prized, boxes.dev, Upstash Box, Northflank, GitHub Codespaces, Coder, a VPS, Codex Cloud and Claude Code on the web compared on how long an agent runs, which agents come installed, your files and ports, and the monthly price at 2 vCPU and 4 GB, each fact linked to its source.
- What it costs to run Claude Code or any coding agent 24/7 in 2026The monthly price of keeping a coding agent running around the clock at 2 GB and 4 GB on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, a Fly Machine, Northflank, an Upstash Box or a Prized box, plus Railway, a Fly Sprite and Oracle’s free tier, and what you run yourself on each, every price linked to its source.
- OpenAI Codex Cloud alternatives in 2026Keep Codex and run it on a Prized box, or move to Claude Code on the web, Cursor Cloud Agents, GitHub Copilot’s cloud agent, Devin or OpenHands: where each runs the agent, which git hosts it works with, whether it opens the pull request, and the cheapest plan, each fact linked to its source.
- Cloud desktops for computer-use agents in 2026Where a computer-use agent’s desktop can run: a Prized box, Orgo, Daytona, E2B Desktop, Browserbase, AWS WorkSpaces for AI agents and Windows 365 for Agents, compared on the desktop, how long it runs and the price an hour, each fact linked to its source.
- The best sandbox APIs for AI agents in 2026E2B, Daytona, Modal, Vercel Sandbox, Northflank, Upstash Box, Runloop and Prized compared on start time, pause with memory, fork, run time, free use, price, regions, SDKs and MCP, each fact linked to its source.
- How to run Claude Code (or Codex) 24/7 in the cloudThe four ways to keep Claude Code or Codex working with your laptop closed (the vendors’ clouds, a VPS, a Mac mini at home, a cloud dev box), what each costs a month, and the Prized way, step by step.
- Infinite storage is hereAny workspace can now keep a box's files in object storage that grows as you write: up to 40 TB on an Extra Large, at $0.05 a GB-month past the disk its size includes.
- Sandboxes are in betaLinux microVMs your code creates through the API or the CLI, billed by the second. A sandbox pauses with its memory and forks into live copies.
- Prized is now backed by Y CombinatorPrized is backed by Y Combinator. A dev box that lives in the cloud, stays on after you close the laptop, and is right where you left it when you come back.
