DIY vs managed agent hosting cost
Most “cheap VPS” math 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 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.
Ops time uses 4.33 weeks/month. VPS is multiplied by agent count; tokens and ops hours are your totals.
Your DIY monthly total

VPS $12.00 · ops $866 · tokens $40.00
Recommended plan
Starter · $25.00/mo
or $250/yr · based on agent count
DIY runs about $893 more per month than $25.00 managed — before counting outages or security fire drills.
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.
