  • Billed per second for vCPU and memory; sandboxes are created with a compute plan (nf-compute-10 at 0.1 vCPU / 256 MB to nf-compute-32-488 at 32 vCPU / 488 GB) priced at these rates.
  • GPU sandboxes on Northflank Cloud run under gVisor, per GPU per hour from $0.80 (NVIDIA L4) to $5.87 (NVIDIA B200).
  • In your own cloud (BYOC) Northflank bills $0.02083 per node vCPU per hour; the cloud provider bills the machines.
  • Paused sandboxes stop compute billing and lose ephemeral storage; attached volumes keep their data and are still billed.
  • Vendor claim, not a measurement - ready in 0.8 seconds with a cached image.
