ReplicasvsOpenHands

OpenHands and Replicas compared on where the agent runs, what each charges for, which agents they run, where tasks start, and what the agent can test.

Updated November 10, 2026

Summary

OpenHands is an open-source coding agent that a team can run itself, or use through the hosted OpenHands Cloud.[4][3]

Self-hosted OpenHands is a framework your team runs and maintains, and OpenHands Cloud has no public price.[1] Replicas is a managed cloud agent platform with nothing to host, and each task gets its own VM.[21] OpenHands makes more sense for a team that needs the agent itself to be open source or fully self-hosted.[4][1]

OpenHands lists 15 models on its OpenHands LLM provider page.[6] Prices are in US dollars per million tokens.[6] OpenHands says the prices are provider rates with no markup.[6] OpenHands lists no cached input price for Devstral or Qwen3-Coder, so the table shows their full input price.[6] Replicas doesn’t sell tokens.[23]
