Cloudly compared

Cloudly is a free, open-source server that runs coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI on your GitHub repos, from a VM you own. Hosted agents run on a vendor's servers and use only that vendor's agent. Desktop apps run agents on your own computer, so the work stops when it sleeps. Here's how it lines up, with an honest note on when to pick the other one.

• Cloudly vs Claude Code on the web: Claude Code's cloud sessions run Claude on Anthropic's servers. Cloudly runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other agents on a VM you own, with keys kept out of the sandbox.
• Cloudly vs OpenAI Codex cloud: Codex cloud runs OpenAI's agent on OpenAI's servers. Cloudly runs Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI and more on a VM you own, and checks every change before the pull request.
• Cloudly vs Conductor, T3 Code and Orca: Conductor, T3 Code and Orca run coding agents on the computer in front of you. Cloudly runs them on a server you own, so work keeps going when the laptop sleeps.
• Cloudly vs OpenHands: Both are MIT-licensed and can run several coding agents. OpenHands is a broad platform with its own agent and SDK; Cloudly is a single-VM install focused on keeping credentials out of the sandbox and checking work before it becomes a pull request.
