What you can produce with VoltAgent
- Agent memory, RAG, tools and multi-step workflows (open source, MIT)

- Supervisor/sub-agent multi-agent orchestration
- MCP support
- VoltOps console for tracing, prompts, evals, triggers and actions
- VoltOps Deploy from GitHub with custom domains
VoltAgent gives TypeScript developers a clean, MIT-licensed way to build agents — memory, tools, retrieval, workflows and multi-agent supervision — with a local development server that links straight into VoltOps for tracing and debugging. The paid side has grown into deployment as well as observability, with GitHub-triggered deploys and custom domains. Pricing is fair: the framework is free, the VoltOps Developer plan is free for small projects, and Core costs $50 a month, though self-hosting the console is reserved for Enterprise. Teams already invested in Langfuse or Datadog can export traces there instead. It is younger and smaller than Mastra, its closest rival, so compare both on your workload. A good option for TypeScript teams wanting framework and console from one vendor.
What we found
VoltAgent is an open-source TypeScript framework for building AI agents, released in April 2025 under the MIT licence by Omer Aplak and Necati Ozmen, who previously built the Refine framework. It provides agents with memory, tools and retrieval, multi-step workflows, supervisor and sub-agent orchestration and MCP support, and routes to more than 30 model providers through the Vercel AI SDK. The current release is 2.11, with a 3.0 pre-release on npm. Running an agent locally starts a development server at localhost:3141 that connects to VoltOps, the company's console for tracing, prompt management, evaluations, triggers and actions.
VoltOps is where the business model sits, and VoltAgent now describes itself as an end-to-end agent engineering platform. Beyond observability, VoltOps Deploy connects a GitHub repository and deploys on every push, with custom domains and automatic SSL, building from a Dockerfile or Nixpacks, and the platform connects to more than 40 apps. Data is stored in SOC 2-compliant data centres, and VoltAgent says VoltOps never uses customer data to train models. The company names angel investors from Cerbos, Ubicloud and Actioner but no disclosed funding round.
The framework is free. VoltOps has a free Developer plan with one seat, one project, 250 traces a month, seven days of retention and 100 actions and triggers, with no card. Core costs $50 a month for three seats, unlimited prompts and agents, 50,000 traces, 90-day retention and persistent tunnel URLs; Pro costs $250 a month for 20 seats, 250,000 traces, SSO, deployment authentication and priority support. Extra traces cost $10 per 5,000. Self-hosting VoltOps requires the Enterprise plan, which adds unlimited tracing and a custom contract.
One developer's comparison, published in April 2026, noted that teams already using Langfuse or Datadog can send VoltAgent traces there rather than paying for VoltOps, a useful option to keep costs down. It is a reasonable choice for TypeScript teams that want an integrated framework and console; Mastra is the most comparable alternative.
