Vercel Sandbox pricing and limits

Vercel Sandbox is available in Beta on all plans

  • Each sandbox can use a maximum of 8 vCPUs with 2 GB of memory allocated per vCPU
  • Sandboxes have a maximum runtime duration of 45 minutes, with a default of 5 minutes. You can configure this using the timeout option of Sandbox.create().
  • You can run Node.js or Python runtimes. Review the system specifications.
  • Sandboxes can have up to 4 open ports.

Vercel tracks sandbox usage by:

  • Active CPU: The amount of CPU time your code consumes, measured in milliseconds. Waiting for I/O (e.g. calling AI models, database queries) does not count towards Active CPU.
  • Provisioned memory: The memory size of your sandbox instances (in GB), multiplied by the time they are running (measured in hours).
  • Network bandwidth: The incoming and outgoing network traffic in and out of your sandbox for tasks such as installing packages and sandbox usage by external traffic through the sandbox listening port.
  • Sandbox creations: The number of times you started a sandbox.
Metric Monthly amount included for Hobby Monthly amount included for Pro
CPU (hour) 5 5
Provisioned Memory (GB-hr) 420 420
Network (GB) 20 20
Sandbox creations 5000 100000

If you exceed the above allotment, you can continue using sandboxes under Pro and Enterprise plans based on the following regional pricing:

Active CPU time (per hour) Provisioned Memory (per GB-hr) Network (per GB) Sandbox creations (per 1M)
$0.128 $0.0106 $0.15 $0.60

Currently, Vercel Sandbox is only available in the iad1 region.

At any time, based on your plan, you can run up to a maximum number of sandboxes at the same time. You can upgrade if you're on Hobby. For Pro and Enterprise, this limit will only apply during the Beta period.
