A Kortix alternative for coding teams

Updated

Short answer: Kortix is a general platform for running company agents, with memory, triggers, connectors and sandboxes defined in a repo you own. Coagy does one narrower job: it puts your developers' Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor sessions in one workspace, where the team can watch, ask and steer them. If you want agents across the whole company, look at Kortix. If you want your engineers' coding agents in one place, Coagy fits better.

What Kortix is

Kortix calls itself an "open-source CompanyOS" (Kortix). Agents, skills, memory, triggers, connectors and sandboxes are defined in a repository your company owns, and you can self-host it or use their cloud. The code is on GitHub with about 20.7k stars. It used to be the "Suna" repo.

A few things that matter for a coding team:

  • It's a general company-agent platform, not coding-only.
  • It runs its own agent, not Claude Code.
  • Models can be Kortix-managed, your own keys, or a ChatGPT or Claude subscription. All requests go through the Kortix LLM gateway.
  • Each session runs in its own sandbox on its own branch: microVMs on their compute, with Daytona and E2B also supported. You can self-host with Docker Compose.
  • Teams get unlimited members on a shared credit pool.

Pricing: a Free plan with 500 credits a month (bring your own key or ChatGPT subscription), credit plans from $50 a month, and Enterprise.

When Kortix is the better pick

  • You want agents for sales, support and ops as well as engineering, on one platform.
  • You need to self-host the whole thing.
  • You want agents, triggers and connectors defined as code in your own repo.

When Coagy is the better pick

  • The agents you care about are the coding agents your developers already use every day.
  • You don't want to route model traffic through a third-party gateway. With Coagy, Claude Code talks to Anthropic, Codex talks to OpenAI, and so on, using each person's own account.
  • You don't want to pay for sandbox credits for work that can run on a laptop.
  • You want people working with agents in real time: watch a teammate's session, ask it a question, steer it with the owner's approval, or pick it up where they left off.

Coagy is free for up to 4 developers.
