How to think about it

Daytona's roots are in standardizing development environments — the same devcontainer-shaped workspace for every human or agent that touches a repo, self-hostable, provider-agnostic. That heritage shows: it's a strong choice when you want one workspace definition to serve both your human engineers and your agents.

Ovrin is narrower on purpose — API-driven, ephemeral, billed by the second, with agent CLIs and their egress policy preconfigured. There's no workspace to provision ahead of time; a sandbox exists for the duration of one agent task and nothing more. If your unit of work is "a persistent workspace a team lives in," that's Daytona's shape. If it's "one task, one disposable sandbox, thousands of times a day," that's the shape Ovrin optimizes for.

Daytona is a good fit when…

you want one devcontainer-based workspace definition shared between human developers and agents, self-hostable across your own cloud provider of choice.
