Is this a free AI agent hosting trial?

No. The cost calculator is free. Runtime is paid Firecracker microVMs with a 30-day money-back guarantee — no free trial or free compute tier.

What costs does DIY vs managed agent hosting include?

DIY monthly = (VPS per agent × agents) + (ops hours/week × hourly value × 4.33) + model/token spend. Managed is jurniti flat plan stickers from the same catalog as /pricing.

What if DIY is cheaper than managed?

The calculator says so honestly — we never invent costs. You can still start managed with 30-day money-back if isolation and ops relief matter more than sticker.

Do you mark up model tokens?

No. Bring your own keys (BYOK). Hosting is the flat plan sticker; token lines in the calculator are your provider bills.

AI agent hosting cost: DIY VPS vs managed

Most “cheap VPS” math — an OpenClaw VPS, a self-hosted Claude Code box — forgets the hours you spend patching, babysitting, and recovering. Plug in your numbers — VPS, ops time, and BYOK model spend — and see the monthly total next to jurniti’s flat managed AI agent plans. We never mark up your tokens.

DIY vs managed: what does your agent really cost?

Enter your VPS, weekend ops, and model spend. We compare the total to jurniti’s flat plans — and never mark up your tokens.

How to read the result

VPS is per agent (or box). Ops hours and tokens are your totals. Recommended plan scales with agent count (1 → Starter, 2 → Pro, 3+ → Max). If DIY looks cheaper on paper, the tool says so — then reminds you what shared kernels and weekend fire drills cost.

jurniti runs each agent in a Firecracker microVM with BYOK keys inside the guest. Every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. There is no free trial and no free compute tier — this calculator is the free part.
