Factory

Overview

Factory is an enterprise platform for agentic software development, built around autonomous agents it calls Droids. The Droids run across a desktop app, a command-line interface and an SDK, and can work as cloud or local background agents that carry out multi-step engineering tasks, while higher tiers add Factory-managed cloud computers for remote agents. It is aimed at teams, with admin controls over model selection and autonomy levels, SSO with SAML and SCIM provisioning, zero data retention, audit logging and, on the enterprise tier, on-premise deployment and customer-managed encryption. Paid plans start at twenty dollars a month and scale through usage limits to custom business and enterprise agreements.

Best for engineering teams that want autonomous coding agents across the desktop, CLI and an SDK, with enterprise controls.

Factory is pitched at engineering organizations rather than individual hobbyists: its Droids act as autonomous agents across the desktop, CLI and an SDK, run in the cloud or locally in the background, and are governed by admin controls for model choice, autonomy levels and network policy. Pricing starts at twenty dollars a month and climbs with usage, up to business and enterprise tiers that add SSO, zero data retention and on-premise deployment. There is no free tier, so it suits teams ready to commit to an agent-native workflow.
