Took me a minute to see the value - my first thought was "this is just cursor's cloud agents..."

But the key thing here for me is "Every sandbox boots your app on a live URL." Cursor doesn't easily have that, and that's what would allow me to ditch my local env entirely - the ability to actually try out a PR without needing to check it out locally.

So on that note: how does that work? We've had trouble with getting our dev env running in other cloud envs because it requires a few things (clickhouse, localstack, pg, etc) running which we manage via docker compose locally.

Also, some minor pricing feedback: it'd be really great if there were a version with pay-as-you-go and a cheaper fixed cost. I think your 99/seat/mo model is fine for professional work, but it's a lot to commit to for personal work.

Modal just released some features that would allow users to bring custom Docker images, and I'm working on getting your exact use case supported! Aiming to get it out by the end of the week.

Noted the pricing feedback! We're still figuring out exactly what works best so it's still very much so subject to change.
