Pick Coder if platform teams who will stay on Community $0 (unlimited self-hosted workspaces, 5 agents, GitHub/Discord support) while they Create workspace from a first template, then talk to sales for Premium when they need HA, workspace proxies, multi-org RBAC, and SLA support. Pick E2B if agent authors who will create/kill sandboxes in code and watch per-second CPU + RAM. Skip E2B if teams that want a published
