The useful distinction

Teams look past Amp orbs when they want a pull request by default, a burst above 20 metered orbs, or an agent other than Amp.

The useful split is who builds the agent. Most products here run their own. Rush runs Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, the vendors' own CLIs, and returns the result with the record of how it was made.

Depth

In depth

Pro $20 / month; managed Droid Computers start at Plus $100 / month. Checked 15 September 2026.

Factory Droids

You want Factory's Droid across terminal, IDE, browser and Slack, with a computer that stays awake.

Factory's own coding agents across terminal, IDE, browser, and Slack. Persistent Droid Computers keep the machine awake between sessions.

Product page: one prompt to PR. Slack integration can open a PR and handle CI via a subagent.

Taps out. Managed computers are a Plus+ feature. Rate limits are unpublished. Remote Slack delegations are private preview.

Pro $20 / month; Teams Standard $40 / user / month. Checked 15 September 2026.

Cursor Cloud Agents

Your team is standardized on Cursor and wants the same Agent off the laptop.

Cursor's local Agent, moved into isolated cloud VMs. Formerly called Background Agents. Available on paid Cursor plans.

Works on a separate branch and opens a draft PR. GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Cloud.

Taps out. Requires a paid Cursor plan and an environment snapshot. Multi-repo long-running is not available. Move-to-cloud drops uncommitted files. Prompt-injection risk is documented because commands auto-run.

Claude Pro $20 / month; Max 5x $100 / month. Checked 15 September 2026.

Claude Code on the web

You only run Claude Code and want Anthropic to host the VM inside your Claude plan.

The same Claude Code harness, hosted on Anthropic VMs. Connect GitHub, submit a task, review the PR. Status: research preview.

Clones a GitHub repo, pushes a branch, opens a PR from the web UI. GitLab/Bitbucket are bundle-only and cannot push back.

Taps out. Research preview. GitHub required to push. Zero Data Retention orgs cannot use cloud sessions. IP allowlists break Anthropic-hosted runs. Claude-only.

ChatGPT Plus $20 / month; Pro 5x $100 / month; Free includes limited Codex. Checked 15 September 2026.

Codex cloud

You are on ChatGPT and want OpenAI's agent in a box, included in the plan.

OpenAI's coding agent, running background tasks in isolated ChatGPT cloud environments. Included with ChatGPT plans. Not the 2021 Codex model.

Connect GitHub or GitLab (Beta). Review the summary and diff, then open a PR. @codex on issues and PRs.

Taps out. API-key path has no cloud, GitHub review, or Slack. Agent internet is off by default. Cloud chats can cost more than local.

Pro $20 / month; Teams $80 minimum + $40 / full seat. Checked 15 September 2026.

Devin

You want Cognition's own agent on tickets, with Slack, Linear and Jira wiring and stacked GitHub pull requests.

Cognition's own autonomous software engineer. It plans, writes, tests, and ships in a cloud Devbox. The Brain always stays in Cognition's cloud.

Creates PRs on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps. Stacked PRs on GitHub.com only.

Taps out. You cannot bring your own model keys. Ambiguous senior-scope work is out of scope by Cognition's own 2025 review. Quotas are opaque.

Free with limited cloud agents; Build $20 / month with $20 of usage at API rates; Business $50 / user / month. Checked 17 October 2026.

Warp Oz

You already live in the Warp terminal and want the same agents in the cloud from Slack, Linear or GitHub Actions.

Warp's cloud agent platform. It starts Warp Agent, Claude Code or Codex runs from a CLI, an API, Slack, Linear or GitHub Actions, in Docker-based sandboxes on Warp or your own compute.

Pushes branches and opens pull requests on GitHub, authored by the Warp Factories GitHub App with team authorization.

Taps out. Free has limited cloud agents. Self-hosted execution is Enterprise only. Build-plan concurrency is still being finalized. GitHub is the only documented forge.

Rush

What Rush is

Rush is the Amp orbs alternative when the agent should be one of the vendors' own CLIs and the pull request should come without an AGENTS.md instruction.

Honest limits

Skip Rush if

  • Rush runs three agents: Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. It does not host an agent you wrote yourself.
  • Repositories come through the Rush GitHub App. A GitLab or Bitbucket repository cannot be a run's repository yet.
  • There is no self-hosted or customer-VPC deployment, and we do not publish a compliance report today.
  • Compute is metered. Free includes 5 agent-hours a month and Pro 40, each with a weekly ceiling.
  • You review the pull request. Rush does not merge for you.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

What is the best Amp orbs alternative?

It depends on the part of the job you want to keep. Use Factory Droids if you want Factory's Droid across terminal, IDE, browser and Slack, with a computer that stays awake. Use Cursor Cloud Agents if your team is standardized on Cursor and wants the same Agent off the laptop. Use Claude Code on the web if you only run Claude Code and want Anthropic to host the VM inside your Claude plan. Use Rush if you want to send a task by API or MCP and get back a pull request, report or files with the transcript.

Can I move from Amp orbs to Rush?

Yes. The steps, from Amp Inc.'s own docs, are on the Migrate from Amp orbs to Rush page. Code you already pushed stays where it is.

Where does the code go when I leave?

Anything pushed to your GitHub remote stays there. That is the off-ramp on every product in this set, including Rush.
