Factory vs Superagent (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Factory if

• Fits if you already pay for ChatGPT or Copilot and want to run a coding agent on it
• Works for a developer who wants desktop, terminal and SDK in one product

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the page shows monthly figures without saying whether they are billed monthly or annually
• Pricey if you want more usage: Plus and Max are only 5x and 10x Pro with no token numbers
• Not for you if you need SSO, SAML or audit logs, which are Business and Enterprise with no price
• Tight if you are a group over 10, as Teams covers up to 10 seats

Pick Superagent if

• Fits if you maintain open-source code on public repositories
• Works for teams shipping AI-written code that want pull requests scanned

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you go past free: Starter is $499 a month for 500 credits
• Tight if your code is private: 100 credits a month, and a red-team report costs 500
• Skip it if you want a general agent, as the site describes a security tool
• Watch out: annual billing gives 20% more credits, and the page says nothing about a price change

Factory

• The pricing page shows monthly figures without saying whether they are billed monthly or annually.
• Plus and Max are described only as roughly 5x and 10x the usage of Pro; no token or task numbers are given.
• Business and Enterprise have no published price, and SSO, SAML/SCIM and audit logging sit behind them.
• The Teams plan covers up to 10 seats; larger groups are routed to sales.

Superagent

• Paid plans start at $499 per month; the first step below that is the free plan's 100 private credits.
• A single red teaming report costs 500 credits, which is the whole Starter allowance.
• The site now describes a security product, not a general-purpose AI agent, so it fits the agents category only loosely.
• Whether annual billing changes the price or only the credits is not spelled out beyond 20% more credits on annual paid plans.

Factory

Droid agents

Droids plan, build and validate changes in a repository. The CLI quickstart shows the agent proposing edits and waiting for review before it changes files.

Desktop, terminal, web and SDK

The homepage lists desktop, terminal, web and CLI surfaces, and the docs cover an SDK, a sessions API and a non-interactive exec mode.

Model routing

Tasks can be routed across models, and the pricing page says the platform supports frontier and open-weight models from several providers.

Code review and Automations

Droids can review pull requests with inline comments, and Automations put repeated engineering work on a schedule.

Analytics and Agent Readiness

Per-developer and per-team usage reports, plus a readiness score for each repository, are listed as enterprise-facing features.

Governance and deployment options

Business and Enterprise plans add SSO, audit logging, zero data retention and admin controls, and Enterprise lists on-premise deployment.

Superagent

PR scanning

Checks code changes, dependencies and contributors before a pull request is merged. Costs 1 credit per scan.

Red teaming

Investigates applications, code, agents and packages for exploitable weaknesses and produces a report, at 500 credits per report.

Dependency validation

Tests which dependency vulnerabilities affect an application and verifies fixes on Dependabot and Renovate pull requests. 5 credits per private investigation; public ones are free.

Context and runtime guardrails

Context guardrails screen external content before an agent reads or installs it; runtime guardrails block supported risky agent actions using rules evaluated on each host.

Security-One-27B model

A security decision model that scores security events and returns probabilities an application can use to route decisions.

API and MCP access

Every plan includes API and MCP access, and a security graph in the dashboard lets agents share evidence and review decisions through MCP.
