Overview
OpenHands runs agents that execute engineering work, with automations triggered from GitHub, Slack, Jira, Linear or schedules, and it can drive Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or its own agent. Agent Canvas is free and MIT licensed to self-host, Teams costs $499 a month for up to 10 users, and Enterprise is custom. The free version has no SSO, RBAC or budgeting controls, and the pricing page gives no separate price for OpenHands Cloud.
