   Scaleway

   Excellent fitmedium certainty

   Key takeaway

   Hosted Linux Instances with persistent Block storage, snapshots and SSH suit a persistent Node.js agent VM.

   Before you choose

   • The supplied facts do not state the exact monthly price of a suitable Instance plus storage, so verify it stays under your $25 cap.
   • Also confirm snapshot retention and restore behaviour, and per-product quota or region constraints, since the facts give per-product metering detail but no instance sizing example.
   Why it fits your request

   Supplied facts show hosted Linux Instances with a persistent runtime, Block/Object/File storage and Unified Snapshots, plus SSH access, a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK and community/paid pay-as-you-go billing with a free tier.

   The productType is IaaS and the isolation primitive is a VM, matching a persistent Linux VM for a Node.js coding agent, and workloads include autonomous-agents.

   machine0

   Good fitmedium certainty

   Key takeaway

   Persistent SSH-accessible VMs with suspend snapshots and per-minute billing fit a long-running Node.js coding agent.

   Before you choose

   • The supplied facts do not state a concrete monthly figure for a VM sized for your agent, so check per-minute and image-storage rates against your $25 budget, remembering suspended VMs still incur image storage.
   • No first-party language SDK is published, so confirm CLI/API access is enough, and confirm the balance top-up and snapshot-destroy behaviour.
   Why it fits your request

   Supplied facts describe persistent VMs that stay on until stopped or suspended, with SSH access, snapshot/suspend/resume and image-based clones, and workloads explicitly listing coding agents.

   Billing is per-minute with suspend stopping compute charges, and there is no subscription, which suits a low-cost persistent Node.js agent VM.

   ShellBox

   Good fitlow certainty

   Key takeaway

   Persistent SSH Linux boxes with pause memory snapshots and scale-to-zero parking fit a Node.js coding agent VM.

   Before you choose

   • Verify the actual per-minute rate for a box with enough CPU/RAM and disk against your $25 budget, since the facts give no worked monthly figure.
   • Storage is fixed at creation and the facts state no backups; confirm snapshot/duplicate behaviour and that the EU-only Helsinki region meets your latency and jurisdiction needs.
   Why it fits your request

   Supplied facts show persistent Linux boxes reachable over SSH with pause-on-disconnect memory snapshots, resume restoring processes and files, and parked boxes at $0.50/mo, which suits a persistent Node.js coding agent VM.

   Billing is per-minute with no subscription, and workloads include ai-agent-sandbox and dev-environments.

   Good fitlow certainty

   Key takeaway

   Firecracker sandboxes with SSH, persistent volumes and snapshots can run a Node.js coding agent, self-hostable via Apache-2.0.

   Before you choose

   • The supplied facts do not state whether a Node.js runtime is preinstalled or how snapshot/volume persistence is priced, and there is no monthly dollar figure at your usage, so confirm both against your $25 cap.
   • The hosting region and jurisdiction are unstated, so check where your VM runs and whether free-tier runtime/call limits suffice.
   Why it fits your request

   Supplied facts list coding-agents and long-running-agents workloads, SSH access, persistent attached volumes beside ephemeral sandboxes, full Firecracker snapshots and JavaScript SDK support.

   Self-hosting SmolVM is free under Apache-2.0, and hosted tiers meter runtimes rather than compute time, which can suit a low-cost Node.js agent.

   Fly.io

   Good fitlow certainty

   Key takeaway

   Firecracker Machines with SSH, persistent Fly Volumes and autostop can host a persistent Node.js agent VM.

   Before you choose

   • A credit card is required and pricing is usage-based with no published monthly figure, so confirm a suitable Machine plus volume and snapshot storage stays under $25.
   • The facts also state automated scaling limits per org and anti-abuse constraints, and that GPU is deprecated after Aug 1, 2026, so verify sizing and region availability for your agent.
   Why it fits your request

   Supplied facts show Firecracker microVM Machines with SSH access, persistent Fly Volumes, incremental volume snapshots and autostop on idle, with ai-agent-sandboxes and ai-generated-code-execution workloads and javascript/node framework guides.

   Per-second compute billing with a 40% reservation discount can fit a low-cost persistent Node.js agent.
