Pick Daytona if…
Daytona suits developers and teams running AI-generated code, coding agents, evaluations or data analysis in controlled workspaces. It may also fit teams that need self-hosting, GPU workspaces or JetBrains support.
Pick E2B if…
E2B suits teams building AI agents that need isolated execution, code interpretation, or desktop interaction. Self-hosting and BYOC are options for teams with those deployment needs.
