STOA's verdictFor builders
OpenHands is best for small businesses that have at least one developer on staff who can handle setup and technical oversight.
The free cloud plan (10 conversations/day) is a great way to test it, and the self-hosted option is powerful if you have someone who can manage it — but the $500/month cloud Growth plan is a steep jump that only makes sense if your team is shipping code constantly. Non-technical founders will find this tool hard to use without developer support.
