54 sandbox providers listed here offer pause and resume, including Agent37 Cloud, Lizard Sandboxes and boat. Prices start at $0.001 per vCPU-hour.

Updated

What pause and resume is

Pause and resume stops a sandbox without deleting it. Its files are still there when it starts again. Some providers keep memory too, so running processes continue where they stopped.
