Runtm

If your team runs multiple coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI — you've probably already felt the pain: no central governance, no cost tracking, sandbox sprawl. Runtime solves that with pre-warmed sandboxes, BYOK, and a dashboard that shows every tool call and dollar spent. We'd reach for this when we want to let non-engineers (support, sales, product) run agents safely without risking production data. For solo devs playing with agents, the free tier is too limited (single session, base sandbox). But at $29/mo the Builder plan unlocks 10 parallel sessions and standard sandboxes — cheap compared to the infrastructure time it saves. The Teams plan at $99/seat gets you spend controls and shared templates, which is where the real value kicks in for platform teams. Where it bites: self-hosting is a manual lift despite great docs; the free tier's 4 vCPU/4GB sandbox chokes on larger repos; and you still need to bring your own AI keys (not a drawback for some, but an extra step). Compared to building your own agent infrastructure, Runtime saves months. Against locked-in platforms like Replit or GitHub Copilot Workspace, it wins on flexibility and multi-agent support. Bottom line: If you're running agents at scale and need governance without vendor lock-in, Runtime is the most pragmatic option today. Just budget for the paid plans and be ready to self-host if you need air-gapped compliance.
