Compare
Who we actually compete with.
Mostly a homegrown stack: a sandbox API, a gateway, a secrets manager, and a repository of policy nobody wants to own. That glue is the market, and it is what these pages compare against.
01 / the honest grid
| Capability | Velone | AgentCore | Sandbox API | Framework | In-house glue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Durable session identity | yes | yes | partial | partial | partial |
| Hardware-isolated sandbox | yes | yes | yes | no | partial |
| Pre-execution policy gate | yes | partial | no | no | partial |
| Human approval on actions | yes | partial | no | partial | partial |
| Tamper-evident evidence chain | yes | no | no | no | no |
| Default-deny egress | yes | partial | partial | no | partial |
| Zero standing credentials | yes | partial | no | no | no |
| Model-agnostic | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| Cloud-agnostic | yes | no | yes | yes | partial |
| Runs air-gapped | yes | no | partial | yes | yes |
| One vendor for all of it | yes | yes | no | no | no |
“Partial” means a real feature exists but stops short of the guarantee — a policy hook without pre-execution enforcement, an audit log that the emitting service can rewrite, an egress rule that only covers HTTP. We have tried to be strict with ourselves in this column too.
02 / the shape of it
If you are all-in on one cloud and one model, buy theirs.
AgentCore is a good product and it is bundled with a bill you already pay. If your agents, data, and models all live in AWS and you expect that to stay true, the cheapest correct answer is the one from your cloud provider.
Velone exists for the other case, which is most large companies: Claude and GPT and something local, data in two clouds and a data centre, a security team that wants the boundary inside their own perimeter, and an auditor who wants a record the vendor cannot edit.

Ask us where we lose.
We will tell you. A boundary you adopt because the comparison was dishonest is a boundary you rip out in a year.
