OpenDevin

OpenHands, formerly OpenDevin, is a free open-source autonomous software-engineering agent with hosted Individual SaaS also listed as Free and Enterprise on Contact Us/custom pricing, giving developers and teams an inspectable coding assistant that edits files, runs commands, tests changes, browses documentation, and supports local, CLI, SDK, cloud, or self-hosted workflows.

The project is useful for developers who want more control than a closed hosted coding agent typically provides. OpenHands can run locally, expose a local GUI and REST API, and support workflows through a CLI, SDK, cloud product, or enterprise self-hosted deployment. That range makes it relevant both for individual developers experimenting with autonomous coding and for engineering teams evaluating agent infrastructure they can inspect, customize, and operate.

Five verifiable product facts anchor the record: the core OpenHands project is MIT-licensed except for the enterprise directory; the pricing page lists Open Source at Free; the hosted Individual SaaS tier is also listed at Free for 1 user; the Individual tier lists 10 max daily conversations; and Enterprise is listed as custom pricing with SaaS or self-hosted deployment, SAML/SSO, multi-user RBAC, centralized team billing, and priority support. The project also documents MCP support in its plan comparison and CLI command reference, while API access and authentication depend on the chosen local, cloud, or enterprise deployment.

OpenHands is built around isolated execution, commonly using Docker-based environments, so agents can edit files, run tests, install packages, and execute commands without being granted unrestricted access to the host machine. This does not remove the need for code review or security controls, but it gives teams a more practical starting point for evaluating autonomous code changes.

The pricing story is split between open-source use, hosted SaaS, token usage, and enterprise procurement. The local open-source option is Free. OpenHands Cloud Individual is Free for one user and can use bring-your-own-key or OpenHands model providers at cost with no markup. Enterprise is not sold with a fixed public numeric price; the public pricing page says Contact Us/custom pricing, so organizations should request a quote and budget separately for infrastructure, LLM usage, support requirements, and private deployment work.

OpenHands is strongest for teams that want transparent agent behavior, local development workflows, model-provider flexibility, and self-hosting options. It is less ideal for nontechnical users or teams that want a fully managed commercial product with predictable support, billing, and operational ownership handled entirely by a vendor.
