The honest brief

Daytona

Boots an isolated sandbox with its own kernel and filesystem in under 90ms, so agents run untrusted code safely.

  • Sub-100ms sandbox start
  • Full isolated kernel + FS
  • SDKs in many languages
  • Open-source, self-host option
  • AGPL-3.0 may deter some
  • Infra to manage if self-hosted
  • Newer entrant

Runloop

Pairs on-demand coding-agent Devboxes with a public benchmarking suite, so you can both run agents and measure them on one platform.

  • Isolated cloud sandboxes for agent code
  • Scales to thousands of parallel Devboxes
  • Full filesystem, build-tool, compiler access
  • $50 in free starter credits
  • Enterprise VPC + compliance options
  • Usage-based pricing can be hard to forecast
  • Aimed at developers, not end users
  • Proprietary, no self-host option
