OpenHands Cloud alternatives
Teams look past OpenHands Cloud when the free plan's one user and 10 conversations a day runs out and the next step is an Enterprise contract.

The useful distinction
Teams look past OpenHands Cloud when the free plan's one user and 10 conversations a day runs out and the next step is an Enterprise contract.
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.
Routing
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. |
| 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 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 are on ChatGPT and want OpenAI's agent in a box, included in the plan. | Codex cloud | You call Codex with an API key: that path has no cloud. |
| You only run Claude Code and want Anthropic to host the VM inside your Claude plan. | Claude Code on the web | You need Codex or OpenCode too, or your org has Zero Data Retention. |
| 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. |

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 trial; Pro $60 / month with $60 of usage, up to 5 users; Max $200 / month. Checked 17 October 2026.
Tembo
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rush
What Rush is
Rush is the alternative for a team that likes running Claude Code or Codex in the cloud and needs more than one user without an Enterprise contract.
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 OpenHands Cloud alternative?
It depends on the part of the job you want to keep. Use Devin if you want Cognition's own agent on tickets, with Slack, Linear and Jira wiring and stacked GitHub pull requests. Use Tembo if you want more harnesses than three, three forges and Sentry or PagerDuty triggers. Use Warp Oz if you already live in the Warp terminal and want the same agents in the cloud from Slack, Linear or GitHub Actions. 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 OpenHands Cloud to Rush?
Yes. The steps, from All Hands AI's own docs, are on the Migrate from OpenHands Cloud 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.
