- Sandboxes are not available on the Free plan. Compute bills through the same CPU, memory and egress meters as Deno Deploy, so the plan's included hours are shared with Deploy apps.
- CPU is priced per hour of active CPU time and memory per GiB-hour; the per-plan included amounts are listed on the Deploy pricing page.
- Each sandbox has 2 vCPUs, 768 MB to 4096 MB of memory (1.2 GB default) and 10 GB of ephemeral disk.
- Volumes (300 MB to 20 GB, ord region only) persist across sandboxes; read-only snapshots made from volumes can boot many sandboxes at once.
- "Under 200ms" start time is a vendor claim from the product page.
