Factory review

Factory sells autonomous coding agents called Droids for software teams. They use codebase context and team goals to plan, build, and validate changes across desktop, terminal, web, and CLI. Teams can also set policies for how the agents work.

The product goes beyond code generation. Droids can handle repetitive engineering work through automations, while code review features add inline comments to pull requests. Mission Control shows active work, worker progress, and execution logs. Model routing assigns tasks to models based on quality, speed, and cost. Engineering analytics track team adoption and consumption, with real-time metrics and exportable reports.

The pricing page lists individual plans as well as Teams, Business, and Enterprise options. Pro starts at $20 per month; Business and Enterprise pricing is custom. That makes the practical question less about whether Factory can write code and more about whether its agent workflow and controls fit your team’s needs and budget.

Factory’s appeal is the breadth of its agent workflow. The product is designed to take work from planning through validation, rather than stopping at code suggestions. That could suit teams looking to delegate repeatable engineering tasks while keeping work grounded in their codebase and team policies.

A few features help address the operational side of agent use:

• Model routing selects models based on quality, speed, and cost, giving teams a way to balance those priorities.
• Code review adds inline comments to pull requests to flag issues before merge.
• Mission Control surfaces active missions, worker progress, and execution logs in real time.
• Engineering analytics track developer and team adoption and consumption, with exportable reports.
• Automations let Droids plan, execute, and validate repetitive work using shared context.

The plan lineup also gives individuals a way to start without an enterprise contract: the pricing page lists Pro at $20 per month, Plus at $100, and Max at $200. Teams is listed at $60 per team per month, with up to 10 seats and centralized billing. For teams evaluating an agent platform, those visible entry points make it easier to scope an initial purchase before discussing a custom plan.

The price ladder is steep if one developer’s Pro allowance is not enough. The pricing page lists Plus at $100 per month for about five times Pro usage, and Max at $200 for about ten times Pro usage. Those are usage multipliers, not published task or token limits, so buyers cannot tell from the published pricing details exactly how much work each plan covers.

Teams is $60 per team per month for up to 10 seats, but additional seats are listed at $40 per month each. That can change the economics quickly for larger groups. Business and Enterprise both require custom pricing, so there is no public figure to compare against other tools; get a quote before weighing their value. Business lists custom usage limits, onboarding and support, SSO, SAML/SCIM provisioning, and Zero Data Retention. Enterprise lists unlimited team members, dedicated compute with a partitioned inference pool, on-premise deployment options, data residency, and priority support with SLAs.

The pricing page lists monthly prices and does not show annual billing prices. It also lists no free plan; a free trial is not published on the vendor's site.

Factory’s listed individual plans run from $20 to $200 per month: Pro is $20, Plus is $100, and Max is $200. That makes Plus a $80 jump over Pro, while Max costs twice as much as Plus. The pricing page describes Plus as offering about five times Pro usage and Max as about ten times Pro usage; it does not publish exact usage limits.

Teams is $60 per team per month and includes up to 10 seats, with centralized billing. The add-on price is $40 per month per seat, so check how additional seats are counted before comparing the team cost with individual plans.

Business and Enterprise require custom pricing. Business lists custom usage limits, onboarding and support, SSO, SAML/SCIM provisioning, and Zero Data Retention. Enterprise adds unlimited team members, dedicated compute, on-premise deployment options, data residency, and priority support with SLAs.

These are monthly prices. The pricing page does not show annual rates. There is no free plan, and a free-trial offer is not published.

Factory’s Droids use codebase context and can work across desktop, terminal, web, and CLI, so a switch is not just a matter of replacing a chat tool. Teams should map which workflows depend on background agents, code review, automations, model routing, and Mission Control, then check how those fit their policies and existing engineering processes.

The published product and pricing information does not describe migration tooling, code or configuration export, or a supported offboarding process. Factory does list exportable engineering analytics reports, but that does not establish that agent settings, mission history, or other data can be exported. Confirm those details before committing, especially for Business or Enterprise plans.

We don’t have Reddit reports in the published material, so we can’t verify why users leave or how difficult they find switching. Treat migration effort and lock-in as open questions for the sales process, not settled user feedback.
