Decision
Agent-native delivery surface
- Choose it when
- Multi-step refactors, migrations, and repo tasks where Spec Mode planning beats one-shot chat edits
- Teams wiring Droid Exec, review flows, and background agents into delivery workflows
- Skip it when
- You only want lightweight VS Code autocomplete
- You enable high autonomy or missions on production repos without tests, hooks, command denylists, or sandbox review
- Cost
- Pro $20/mo · Plus $100/mo (~5x Pro usage, Droid Computers) · Max $200/mo (~10x Pro) · Teams $60/mo per team plus $40/mo per seat (up to 10 seats) · Business custom (up to 150 seats, SSO/ZDR) · Enterprise custom.
- Privacy
- Factory privacy policy last updated 2026-04-29.
What these labels mean
- Editorial fit
- 0–100 desk score for research-workflow fit. Not stars, not a benchmark.
- Evidence level
- How close the desk got: self-run, hands-on, synthesized, or vendor claim.
- Dossier depth
- Flagship, Solid, Lightweight, and Draft describe how finished the page is — not which tool is best.
- Verification date
- When pricing or privacy was last opened at the source. Not a re-score of the whole dossier.
- Benchmark status
- Pending means no relevant first-party test is published yet. It is not a negative score.

Editor's note
Factory should be judged by reviewable delegated delivery: plan quality, diff quality, test behavior, command safety, and cost visibility. A strong demo is not enough if the team cannot govern the agent.

The public positioning for this product — the loop we score against on VerdictPal.
01Plan in Spec Mode
Turn a plain-English goal into a reviewed plan before Droid touches files — name Spec Mode in your commit messages or PR template.
Match autonomy to risk
Start Off or Low on unfamiliar repos; Medium for installs and local commits; High only with denylists, hooks, and isolated runners.
Watch rolling limits
Run `/limits` before Missions or long autonomous sessions. Enable Droid Core or Extra Usage before deadline week, not after a block.
Automate the repeat work
Wire Droid Exec into CI for lint fixes, import sorting, and PR review — keep interactive CLI for exploratory refactors.
