The container class shares the host kernel. Only the VM classes get their own.\n\n**E2B.** Firecracker microVM with its own kernel per sandbox. Two major incidents over an hour in September 2026, on sandbox creation and on creating from snapshots.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Daytona\n\n1. Pick a Linux VM class for untrusted code or when memory must survive a pause. Container sandboxes stop and archive instead\n2. Set autoStopInterval yourself. The 15-minute idle default can stop a sandbox while the agent is still thinking\n3. Give the agent a key without `delete:sandboxes` if it shouldn't destroy work\n4. Read `Retry-After-{throttler}` on a 429 before retrying sandbox creation\n5. Check the organisation's tier before relying on outbound calls from inside the sandbox\n\n### E2B\n\n1. Set a timeout when you create a sandbox. The default is 5 minutes\n2. Pause rather than kill when you'll come back. Resume takes about a second and nothing is billed while paused\n3. Use `Secret.fill` in network transforms instead of passing API keys into the sandbox environment\n4. Pace sandbox creation. Hobby allows 1 a second and 20 running at once\n5. Move to the v2 sandbox endpoints. SDK 2.51.0 and later use them by default\n\n## Other comparisons with Daytona or E2B\n\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs Daytona](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-daytona.md)\n- [Blaxel Sandboxes vs E2B](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/blaxel-sandboxes-vs-e2b.md)\n- [Cloudflare Sandbox SDK vs Daytona](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-sandbox-sdk-vs-daytona.md)\n- [Cloudflare Sandbox SDK vs E2B](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cloudflare-sandbox-sdk-vs-e2b.md)\n- [Daytona vs Modal Sandboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-modal-sandboxes.md)\n- [Daytona vs Runloop Devboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-runloop.md)\n- [Daytona vs Vercel Sandbox](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/daytona-vs-vercel-sandbox.md)\n- [E2B vs Modal Sandboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/e2b-vs-modal-sandboxes.md)\n- [E2B vs Runloop Devboxes](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/e2b-vs-runloop.md)\n- [E2B vs Vercel Sandbox](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/e2b-vs-vercel-sandbox.md)\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-05", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.3", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Daytona vs E2B", "url": "" } ], "description": "E2B has a score of 68.5 (B) against Daytona's 64.4 (B).
