jurniti vs Daytona°
Daytona sells instant sandboxes for AI-generated code with pay-as-you-go compute. jurniti sells always-on per-tenant microVMs for named agent harnesses — closer to a managed agent host than an ephemeral code runner.
| jurniti | Daytona | |
|---|---|---|
| Isolation | Per-tenant Firecracker microVM (KVM hardware boundary); 1 vCPU = 1 physical core. | Default sandboxes are container-class isolation (Docker/OCI); stronger options (e.g. Kata) appear in third-party comparisons but are not the default story. jurniti's default is Firecracker per tenant. |
| Pricing | Flat $25–$99/mo, no metered surprises. | Pay-as-you-go sandboxes with promotional free compute credits (Daytona advertises $200 free compute on pricing). vCPU/memory metered per second/hour; GPUs listed separately. Verified 2026-07-28 from daytona.io/pricing. |
| Model keys | BYOK inside your VM — model traffic never traverses jurniti. | Sandbox compute — your agent/app supplies keys into the environment. Daytona is pure-ish compute for code execution, not a credits-ledger LLM host; still not a managed harness product. |
Where jurniti is different
- Always-on harness lifecycle (Claude Code, OpenClaw, …) with dashboard and persist volume.
- Default Firecracker isolation rather than container-default sandboxes.
- Flat monthly agent pricing for 24/7 uptime instead of per-second sandbox math.
Where Daytona is strong
- Very fast sandbox spin-up for ephemeral AI code execution.
- Pay-as-you-go is ideal for short-lived jobs and GPU experiments.
- SDK-first sandbox workflow for app builders embedding code execution.
When to pick one — or both
Pick Daytona when you need ephemeral sandboxes for AI-generated code inside your product. Pick jurniti when you need a dedicated always-on agent box.
Pick jurniti when your agent holds production credentials, runs code an LLM returned, and you want a real per-tenant hardware boundary with your keys inside your VM — at a flat monthly price.
Run Claude Code on a real Firecracker microVM. Provision in ~3 minutes after payment. If it is not worth it within 30 days, email us and we refund you.
