Factory review

Factory is aimed at organizations that want to run coding agents as a managed fleet. Its Droid agent runs the same way in a desktop app, a CLI, an SDK and headless mode, and the docs describe delegating a task, reviewing the diff and merging from the app or terminal. Workstreams hand a large project to an orchestrator that runs several agents in parallel, and automations cover triage, code review, QA, docs and incident response. Factory supports GPT-5, Claude Opus and Sonnet, Gemini and open-weight models, with routing between them. Pro is $20 a month, Plus at $100 adds about five times the usage and Droid Computers, and Max is $200. Teams costs $60 a month plus $40 per seat for up to 10 seats. The governance features buyers will want, SSO, SCIM, zero data retention and audit logs, sit on the Business plan, and on-premise deployment is an Enterprise option. Small teams pay more here than on Copilot or Augment.
