Computer agents vs
cloud agent platforms
A practical comparison for teams deploying and orchestrating AI agents in cloud containers. Evaluate execution, orchestration, DX, and operational overhead side by side.
Vertex AI Agent Engine
Google Cloud
- Managed cloud agent runtime
- Strong GCP integration
- Enterprise controls
- Complex setup for smaller teams
- Platform-specific architecture
- Higher operational overhead than turnkey stacks
Cloud usage-based pricing
Bedrock Agents

Why teams choose Computer Agents
Execution and orchestration in one managed platform, designed for shipping real agent products quickly.
Cloud-Native by Default
Deploy agent workloads in isolated cloud execution environments without provisioning your own orchestration layer.
Built-In Agent Orchestration
Coordinate multi-step and multi-agent workflows with persistent context, streaming, and automation in one product.
Fast Time to Production
Start with working defaults, install templates from the Store, and ship real agent automation quickly.
Store + Runtime Integration
Install agent and skill templates directly into your account and run them on the same managed execution stack.
Operational Simplicity
Security boundaries, execution management, and runtime lifecycle are managed for you, not custom-built by your team.
Transparent Economics
Track execution usage and costs with clear controls so teams can scale agents without financial surprises.
Feature-by-feature comparison
Side-by-side comparison focused on cloud deployment and orchestration requirements.
