Side by side
| Morph Cloud | Uno | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An API and SDK for VMs you snapshot and branch | A Linux computer with root and Docker, plus sites, storage and Uno AI |
| How you pay | Compute units (MCUs) at $0.05 each, billed per hour | A flat plan: Small $5, Plus $20 |
| Plans | Free $0 a month, Developer $40 with 1,000 MCUs, Team $250 with 7,500 MCUs | Four sizes, from Small to Max; move up or down any time |
| Small size, a month | $36.50 at $0.05 an MCU | $5 |
| Plus size, a month | $146 | $20 |
| A snapshot | Holds the whole state of a running instance, memory and disk, with its running processes and services | Saved each time the computer falls asleep: memory and disk of the same moment |
| Snapshot speed | Morph says it can snapshot, branch and restore a whole environment in under 250 ms | Median wake 118 ms through the console, from one measurement window |
| When idle | An instance can get a time to live, and when it ends the instance is paused or stopped. The pricing page does not say what a paused instance costs | Asleep after 10 minutes; memory and running programs are saved while it sleeps |
| What wakes it | SDK calls; the docs list Wake-on-Request as an instance feature | Wakes when you open it, a visitor opens your site, a message reaches your bot's webhook |
| Largest machine | Developer: 256 vCPUs, 1,024 GB of memory and 4,096 GB of storage | 32 vCPU and 48 GB on Max |
| VMs at once | Developer: 32 at once and 128 in total | One computer per agent; not built for hundreds of branches |
One machine switched on for a month, Morph against Uno
Whole-month cost in $ per month. Morph is 730 hours at the pay-as-you-go MCU rate; the machines match Uno Small and Plus.
Show as a table
| Option | $ per month | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Uno Small, 1 vCPU · 1 GB | 5 | Flat price, sleeps when idle, keeps memory |
| Morph, 1 MCU an hour | 36.50 | 730 hours at the pay-as-you-go MCU rate |
| Uno Plus, 4 vCPU · 4 GB | 20 | Flat price, sleeps when idle, keeps memory |
| Morph, 4 MCUs an hour | 146 | 730 hours at the pay-as-you-go MCU rate |
How we counted
An MCU is billed per hour. A devbox uses the largest of its vCPU count, its memory in 4 GB steps and its disk in 16 GB steps, in MCUs an hour. Uno Small (1 vCPU, 1 GB of memory and 15 GB of disk, which is one MCU an hour) is one MCU an hour: 730 hours × $0.05 = $36.50. Uno Plus (4 vCPU, 4 GB of memory and 40 GB of disk, which is four MCUs an hour) is four times that: $146. The Developer plan costs $40 and includes 1,000 MCUs, so a month of one always-on MCU fits inside it. Morph's pricing page does not say what a paused VM costs, so an idle month may cost less than these totals.
Two ways to keep a machine's state
Both products save memory, not only files. Morph saves it on demand: you ask for a snapshot of a running VM and can start many VMs from it. Uno saves it when the computer falls asleep and wakes the same computer on the first request. Booting a new VM from a snapshot's disk image is a cold boot: no memory and no running processes come back, and an instance start restores them.
That is the real difference. Branching suits an agent that tries ten approaches from the same state. A long job in one place, such as a bot, a build or a coding agent that keeps a project open for weeks, needs no branches. It needs a machine that is there when it is called, and a bill that does not count its hours.
Where pay-per-use wins
At $0.05 an MCU, one hour of Uno Small's size costs $0.05, so $5 buys 75 busy hours there. Under that, Morph is cheaper. Past it, the flat plan is. Plus works out the same: $20 against $0.20 an hour.
Where Uno is worse
- Under 75 busy hours a month, Morph's pay-as-you-go rate is cheaper than $5. The Free plan has no monthly fee.
- Morph is built to snapshot a running VM on demand and start many copies from it. Uno is built around one computer that sleeps and wakes, not around forking a running one.
- Morph's Developer plan goes up to 256 vCPUs, 1,024 GB of memory and 4,096 GB of storage, and the Team plan higher. The largest Uno computer is 32 vCPU and 48 GB.
- Morph lets 32 at once and 128 in total run on Developer. An Uno computer is ready in about 2 seconds and is meant for one agent that stays.
- Our vCPU are shared, not dedicated, and paid plans run in one region today: Netherlands.
- Morph quotes under 250 ms to snapshot, branch or restore. Our median wake is 118 ms through the console, measured once in production. The two are not a side-by-side test.
Your agent gets a clean address of its own
Your computer runs in the Netherlands. Its traffic can leave through a static address of a regular internet provider in one of 8 countries. Only your account works from that address.
- From a data-center address
- Sites see a server range shared with thousands of strangers. The agent's browser hits more captchas and blocks.
- From your Clean exit IP
- Sites see a regular internet provider's address in the country you picked. Fewer captchas, and less reason for Claude or ChatGPT to flag your account: nobody else works from it.
