# Augment Cloud Agents alternatives

Teams look past Augment Cloud Agents when the 40% fee on model usage shows up on the bill, or when the agent they want in the cloud is Claude Code or Codex.

Rush is our product and is listed first. Every other row is from the vendor's own pages, retrieved on the date beside it.

## The useful distinction

Teams look past Augment Cloud Agents when the 40% fee on model usage shows up on the bill, or when the agent they want in the cloud is Claude Code or Codex.

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.

## What Rush is

Rush is the alternative when the model bill matters: Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode run on your own subscription, and Rush charges for the sandbox, not the tokens.

## If you… use… not if

| If you | Use | Not if |
| --- | --- | --- |
| You want to send a task by API or MCP and get back a pull request, report or files with the transcript. | Rush | You need to self-host, use GitLab or Bitbucket, or bring an agent loop of your own. |
| Your team is standardized on Cursor and wants the same Agent off the laptop. | Cursor Cloud Agents | You will not put the repository on a paid Cursor plan. |
| You want Cognition's own agent on tickets, with Slack, Linear and Jira wiring and stacked GitHub pull requests. | Devin | You must bring your own model keys; Devin does not support them. |
| You want Factory's Droid across terminal, IDE, browser and Slack, with a computer that stays awake. | Factory Droids | You need published rate limits, or managed computers below $100 a month. |
| You want more harnesses than three, three forges and Sentry or PagerDuty triggers. | Tembo | You want a free plan with included hours, or webhooks when a run finishes. |
| You already live in the Warp terminal and want the same agents in the cloud from Slack, Linear or GitHub Actions. | Warp Oz | You need published concurrency on a self-serve plan. |
| You want an open-source agent you can also self-host, on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. | OpenHands Cloud | You need a team plan without an Enterprise contract. |

## The field

| Tool | Job | What runs | Isolation | Proof | Price | Taps out |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Augment Cloud Agents | Augment's agent on tickets, in a cloud VM | Auggie | Fresh VM per session | PR on GitHub or GitLab | Standard $20 / mo flat; Business $100 | 40% fee on model usage. No free tier. |
| Cursor Cloud Agents | Cursor Agent, unattended, in a cloud VM | Cursor Agent | Firecracker microVM | Draft PR + artifacts | Paid Cursor plan, from $20 / mo | Needs Cursor. Commands auto-run. |
| Devin | Cognition's autonomous engineer on a ticket | Devin Brain + Devbox | Isolated VM per session | PR on your SCM | Pro $20 / mo; Teams $80 min | No BYO model keys. Opaque quotas. |
| Factory Droids | Factory agent on a persistent computer | Droid | Managed 4 CPU / 8 GB computer | PR from Slack or the app | Pro $20; managed computers from Plus $100 | Unpublished rate limits. Own harness. |

## In depth

### Cursor Cloud Agents

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

### Devin

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

### Factory Droids

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

### Tembo

Free trial; Pro $60 / month with $60 of usage, up to 5 users; Max $200 / month. Checked 17 October 2026.. You want more harnesses than three, three forges and Sentry or PagerDuty triggers.

An agent orchestration platform that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Amp, OpenCode or Pi in a dedicated cloud VM per session, from GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, Sentry or PagerDuty events, and opens pull requests.

Opens pull requests on GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, including coordinated pull requests across repositories.

**Taps out.** Pro caps at 5 users and medium sandboxes. Sandboxes are destroyed after the session. The API documents no webhooks. API keys expire after 90 days by default.

### Warp Oz

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

### OpenHands Cloud

Individual SaaS free with your own key or their models at cost; Enterprise custom. Checked 17 October 2026.. You want an open-source agent you can also self-host, on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

The hosted version of OpenHands, an MIT-licensed coding agent platform. It works on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repositories, and in the cloud also runs Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI.

Opens a pull request when it decides the issue is resolved, from an @openhands comment or an openhands label. GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket; Azure DevOps on Enterprise.

**Taps out.** Older conversations pause to cap concurrency. A pull request mention works only on repositories added in the UI. Free is one user and 10 conversations a day. The GitHub token expires after 8 hours.

## 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.

## Questions people actually ask

### What is the best Augment Cloud Agents alternative?

It depends on the part of the job you want to keep. Use Cursor Cloud Agents if your team is standardized on Cursor and wants the same Agent off the laptop. Use Devin if you want Cognition's own agent on tickets, with Slack, Linear and Jira wiring and stacked GitHub pull requests. Use Factory Droids if you want Factory's Droid across terminal, IDE, browser and Slack, with a computer that stays awake. 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 Augment Cloud Agents to Rush?

Yes. The steps, from Augment Code's own docs, are on the Migrate from Augment Cloud Agents 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.
