Pick nvm if…

nvm suits developers who need to manage Node.js versions from the command line, including per-project version selection and CI/CD use. It is intended for per-user, per-shell installation.

Pick PortBay if…

PortBay suits individual developers who want local project runtimes and a task board for dispatching coding agents. It may fit people working on macOS or Linux who need isolated parallel tasks.
