Overview

OpenHands is an open-source platform for running coding agents locally, in its cloud, or self-hosted in your own VPC. Agents run in isolated sandboxes and can be triggered on a schedule or from GitHub, Slack and PagerDuty, with templates for code review, CI failure fixes and security remediation. It is model-agnostic: bring your own model keys or use OpenHands' providers.

Best for: Engineering teams wanting to run autonomous coding agents on their own infrastructure with access controls.
Pricing: The Open Source and Individual plans are both free, with model tokens either bring-your-own-key or charged at-cost, and Enterprise on custom pricing; no figures are published.
