Key takeaways
- Models. OpenHands model choice: Any provider. TODO for AI includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok on paid plans. Pick the model for each job; let another review the result.
- Benchmark. TODO for AI scored 91.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with Opus 5.5 (high) (own harness, 81/89 tasks, 2026-10-26; not an official leaderboard submission).
- Price. OpenHands pricing: MIT self-host. Cloud is credit based. TODO for AI has a free plan (Claude Sonnet only), then Starter $20, Pro $100 or Ultra $200 a month with the supported multi-vendor catalog.
- Shared business work. TODO for AI: Your whole team and its AI agents, on one board. Shared company context, brand voice and memory. AI working in your connected tools, signed-in browser and machines.
- Included usage. One shared pool of credits, with the cloud VM and browser included. Personal session and weekly limits apply. Credit usage depends on the model; see the pricing page for plan details.
- Who should pick which. Pick OpenHands if you must self-host everything. Pick TODO for AI if you want a persistent VM with your real logins, not a fresh sandbox.

Plans and usage limitsWhat OpenHands is, and where it stops
OpenHands is the most serious open-source autonomous coding agent: MIT licensed, multi-model, a sandboxed workspace per task, and a cloud offering if you do not want to host it. It is the closest thing on this list to what TODO for AI does for code.
Where it stops is the edge of the repository. The sandbox is fresh per task rather than a persistent machine with your logins, there is no real-browser automation, and the integrations are aimed at software engineering rather than the rest of the business. Self-hosting is real ops work.
Teams that want an open, self-hosted autonomous coding agent.
Three reasons OpenHands users look elsewhere
Each task gets a clean container. Your Chrome session, your CLI logins and your half-done state do not live there.
Excellent for pull requests, silent on marketing, email, ads and ops.
Running it well means running it yourself.
