| Free tier | no free plan: the individual plans are Pro at USD 20, Plus at USD 100 and Max at USD 200 a month; Droid Core (a free open-weight model pool) and BYOK (free up to an allowance) are features of those paid plans, and the trial terms are unverified: not published on the pages read unit none; metered on none; the docs mention free accounts and trial states (a free account cannot launch Environment sessions) but publish no free allowance or trial length |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
the docs publish the window lengths and the plan multipliers (about 5x and about 10x Pro) but no request, token or credit count per window; the figure appears only in Settings > Usage or the /limits command, behind a sign-up. Missions share the same windows and need Extra Usage enabled |
| Binding | request-rate the unquantified Pro rolling windows are the first wall; Droid Core and Extra Usage only move it |
| Identity | card paid signup collects card or bank payment details inside the onboarding flow, and payments that need 3D Secure authentication are not supported; sign-in methods (email, Google, GitHub), any phone requirement and any trial terms are unverified: behind a sign-up, the sign-in app does not render without a script |
| Egress | not applicable |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a coding subscription meters usage, not objects |
| Interface | cli, rest the Droid CLI is a terminal UI, and droid exec is its headless mode: one-shot, read-only by default, --auto low|medium|high allows edits and commands, -o json|stream-json|stream-jsonrpc gives structured output, -s ID continues a session and FACTORY_API_KEY authenticates it. A Factory Public API at api.factory.ai and Droid SDKs for TypeScript and Python are also documented |
| Tooling | the user installs the Droid CLI (curl -fsSL https://app.factory.ai/cli | sh, Homebrew cask droid, irm https://app.factory.ai/cli/windows | iex or npm install -g droid), or the Factory App desktop client; a Factory API key generated in account settings drives droid exec in CI. The vendor serves the models; BYOK custom models are set in ~/.factory/settings.json |
| Composes with | a paid, vendor-served agent whose first wall is the rolling Standard Usage allowance: after it Droid Core keeps working on open-weight models under its own limits, prepaid Extra Usage (USD 10 minimum, no expiry) extends it, and BYOK keys for any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint in inference/ run free up to an unstated allowance |
| Reliability | when a window is exhausted the current request finishes and later requests return a Rate Limit error; Standard Usage does not roll over; the docs list five deprecated Droid Core models (DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, DeepSeek V4 Pro, MiniMax M2.7, Kimi K2.5, GLM-5.1) that will be removed |
| Notes | The Droid coding agent (Factory App, Droid CLI, Droid SDK) sold on individual plans Pro USD 20, Plus USD 100 and Max USD 200 a month, and Teams at USD 60 a month plus USD 40 a seat for up to 10 seats. No free plan is on the pricing page; Droid Core and BYOK work only inside a paid plan, and the trial terms are unverified. The same offer is also filed in compute as compute/factory for its managed Droid Computers. The documentation moved from docs.factory.ai to docs.factory.com. |
| Evidence note | documented prices, windows, Droid Core, BYOK, headless mode and the payment step are quoted from first-party pages read on 2026-11-02; the per-window quota, the BYOK allowance, trial terms and sign-in methods are unverified because they sit behind a sign-up. The pricing page FAQ answers are collapsed and were not read |
