OpenHands runs a sandboxed agent that reads repos, edits and runs code and opens pull requests, and in 2026 it grew into a platform: Agent Canvas schedules automations from GitHub, Slack, Jira or Linear and can drive third-party agents as well as its own. The core is MIT-licensed and model-agnostic.
Local use and the Individual cloud plan are free; Enterprise adds SSO, VPC deployment and priority support at custom prices. Capability figures come mostly from OpenHands' own Index. Expect setup work and supervise autonomous runs.
What we found
OpenHands began in March 2024 as OpenDevin, an open-source answer to Cognition's Devin, and the name now covers both the project and the company's brand. The company behind it, All Hands AI, was started by Robert Brennan, Graham Neubig and Xingyao Wang; its privacy policy still names All Hands AI at a Cambridge, Massachusetts address, while the website and press releases now say simply OpenHands. It raised a $5 million seed round led by Menlo Ventures in 2024 and an $18.8 million Series A led by Madrona in November 2025.
The product changed shape in 2026. The main GitHub repository now houses Agent Canvas, a self-hosted control centre launched in June that runs the OpenHands agent but can also drive Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Pi or OpenCode, and schedules automations triggered from GitHub, Slack, Linear or Jira. The agent itself lives in a separate Software Agent SDK, and Enterprise adds an agent control plane for budgets, model routing, secrets and audit. The core app, SDK and CLI are MIT-licensed.
Pricing is simple. Running locally is free. The OpenHands Cloud Individual plan is also free, limited to one user and ten conversations a day, using your own model key or OpenHands models at cost; the $20 monthly subscription introduced in September 2025 no longer appears. Enterprise, delivered as SaaS or self-hosted in your own cloud, is custom-priced and adds single sign-on, unlimited concurrent conversations and priority support.
The most current capability figures come from OpenHands' own Index, which tests models inside its agent across five task types. Its issue-resolution category, built on SWE-bench Verified, ranges from about 57 to 96 per cent across 33 models. These are vendor-run results, not an independent leaderboard. On G2, OpenHands holds 4.3 out of 5 from 28 reviews.
OpenHands suits teams that want an inspectable, model-agnostic agent platform they can host themselves. Expect setup work and supervise autonomous runs.
