All comparisons
Closest cousin. Different contract.
If you already like AgentBox, stay. We are not pretending the category is empty.
AgentBox (agent-box.sh, 2026) runs agents inside a per-project VM with checkpoints and a tray app. Docker-first, one-agent-per-box orientation.
Where they win. People who want a Docker-first per-project box and a single agent inside it.
The difference. 1AgentBox treats the OS as an artifact, runs a dual-browser/MCP-bus contract, and is built for a roster of agents on one workspace computer, with watch and takeover.
| 1AgentBox | AgentBox | |
|---|---|---|
| Per-project / per-workspace box | Yes | Yes |
| Checkpoints / snapshots | Yes | Yes |
| Isolation default | VM or equivalent | Docker-first |
| OS as a versioned artifact | Yes | No |
| Multi-agent roster on one box | Yes | One-agent orientation |
| OS-owned browser + MCP bus | Yes | No |
| Watch / takeover | Yes | No |
Checked September 2026. No competitor prices.
Why mention a smaller project?
Because it is the closest cousin we found. Hiding it would be the dishonest move.
