Agent-native software development platform from Factory AI, powered by its Droid agents in the terminal, desktop, and web.
Factory builds Droid, a development agent available as a CLI, desktop app, and web platform at app.factory.ai. The CLI supports MCP servers, custom subagent droids, skills, hooks, plugins, multi-agent Missions, and a headless exec mode for CI/CD, and routes tasks across models rather than locking to one provider. Pricing is subscription-based, with Pro at $20/month, Plus at $100/month, Max at $200/month, and custom-priced Teams and Enterprise tiers; usage is rate-limited within each plan.
Strengths
- Multi-surface platform spanning CLI, desktop, web, and headless CI/CD exec mode
- Model routing across providers instead of single-vendor lock-in
- Deep extensibility with MCP, custom droids, skills, hooks, and plugins
- Multi-agent Missions for coordinated feature development
Tradeoffs
- No free tier; entry starts at the $20/month Pro subscription
- Usage is capped by rolling rate limits within each subscription tier
- Enterprise-oriented platform breadth can be heavyweight for solo developers
