Data downloaded by Vercel Sandbox is now free
Vercel has updated its pricing for Vercel Sandbox, making data downloaded by the Sandbox free. Previously, data egress from Sandbox environments was billed, adding to the cost of using the service for development and testing. The change, announced on July 17, 2026, eliminates this charge, potentially reducing expenses for developers who rely on Sandbox for prototyping, debugging, or running preview deployments. Vercel Sandbox is a feature that provides isolated, disposable environments for testing code changes. By removing the data download fee, Vercel aims to lower the barrier for developers to experiment without worrying about unexpected costs. The announcement was made via Vercel's changelog, indicating a direct policy update. No other pricing changes or additional details were provided in the source.
