Beam vs Salad Cloud

Only charged when your code runs, no charges for cold starts or server spin-up

Memory snapshots and GPU checkpoint restore bring containers back in seconds, which Beam reports as up to 35x faster than a traditional cold boot

Run untrusted code safely in isolated environments for AI agents and code interpreters

Pause and resume sessions while maintaining filesystem, memory, and running processes

Scale to zero when idle, burst to thousands of containers in seconds

Bring your own Docker images for full environment control, including running the Docker daemon inside containers

Community-powered consumer GPUs for stateless and high-volume workloads with very competitive pricing.

Data center-grade A100, L40S, and H100 NVL capacity with managed orchestration for compliant workloads.
