What is Cube Computer?

A cloud computer for running coding agents: a hosted Debian machine with a desktop development environment, fronted by an app that shows cloud and local agent sessions in one sidebar, with one git worktree per agent. In mid-September 2026 it was $25, $50 or $100 a month for 2, 4 or 6 CPUs, with a 7-day trial.

If both are hosted, what actually differs?

What arrives when you pay. Cube gives you a machine, and you bring the repository and the agent. AEQI gives you a website today at yourname.aeqi.ai and eleven AI agents with one job each that find leads and write the emails, on a server of the company's own.

Who should choose Cube over AEQI?

A developer whose problem is that agents stop when the laptop sleeps or the wifi drops. Cube solves exactly that. Choose AEQI when the work is not a repository, or when you don't open a terminal.

AEQI vs Cube Computer

September 10, 2026 · Luca Eich

Choose Cube if you are a developer and want your coding agents on a machine that stays on without your laptop.

Choose AEQI if what you need is the business rather than a machine: a website today, and a team that finds leads and writes the emails for you to approve.

What Cube is

Cube calls itself “a cloud computer for running coding agents”, built because running agents locally means “keeping your laptop open and on wifi at all times.” It is a full Linux machine with a desktop development environment, fronted by an app that shows cloud and local sessions in one sidebar and sets up one git worktree per agent. In mid-September 2026, plans were $25, $50 and $100 a month for 2, 4 and 6 CPUs, with a 7-day free trial.

Cube is the better choice when

You are a developer and the problem is agents stopping when the laptop sleeps. Cube is an always-on machine built for exactly that.
You want one git worktree per agent set up for you, with several sessions visible at once.
You want to keep your own agent CLI and repositories, on a machine you can size up.

AEQI is the better choice when

The work is not a repository: it is a website, leads and emails, none of which a rented Linux machine does for you.
You want a team with one job each — the website, sales, marketing, finance — and every email and post waiting for your OK.
You are not a developer: you describe the business, and your website is live today.
