OpenHands vs Devin, Copilot and Cursor Cost in 2026: A 10-Developer Team Pays $190 to $480 a Month in Seats or $14.99 Plus Its Own Tokens to Self-Host a Coding Agent

By Aimee Voss·8 min read·Published Nov 10, 2026·Updated Nov 6, 2026

The short answer

Short answer, prices read on 30 October 2026: a 10-developer team pays $190 a month for GitHub Copilot Business seats, $300 for Cursor Teams Premium seats and $480 for Devin Teams. The self-hosted route is $14.99 a month for the server at renewal, plus whatever tokens the agents burn, which you pay at the model’s list price. It stays under the Copilot bill until tokens pass $175.01 a month for the whole team ($17.50 a developer), under Cursor until $285.01, and under Devin until $465.01. The paid OpenHands Teams plan, at $500 for up to 10 users, is the one version that costs more than every seat plan before a single token.

Option	Monthly bill, 10 developers	What is included	Catch
GitHub Copilot Business	$190	$19 a seat, 19,000 AI credits pooled	Beyond the pool, $0.01 per credit
Cursor Teams, Premium seats	$300	$30 a seat	Third-party models at API list price from prepaid credit, plus $0.25 per million tokens
Devin Teams	$480	$80 for the team plus $40 a full dev seat	Usage allowance refreshes daily and weekly; its size is not published as a number
OpenHands Agent Canvas on KVM 2 Our pick	$14.99 plus tokens ($8.79 promotional)	MIT software, your own model key	Single user or shared identity; you run the server
OpenHands Teams on KVM 2	$514.99 plus tokens	Up to 10 users, multi-user identity and RBAC	Capped at 5,000 sessions a month; $50 a month per extra seat

Vendor pages read in a rendered browser on 30 October 2026, before tax. Scenario (our assumption, replace it with your own): 10 developers who each want an AI coding agent, on one shared server for the self-hosted option; tokens bought at Claude Sonnet 5.5 list price. Self-hosted rows exclude engineer time and tokens. Seat plans include a model allowance; the self-hosted rows do not.

Our pick means we earn a commission if you buy through our link. Hostinger is our pick for the server because it is the host we already price across our self-hosting guides; its KVM 2 plan (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB NVMe) is $8.79 a month on a Black Friday promotion, paid upfront for 24 months, and renews at $14.99. Our editor score for Hostinger is 1.9 out of 10, unchanged by the commission. See Hostinger VPS plans.

Why a seat price and a token price are not the same bill

A seat plan sells you a developer’s access plus a model allowance. GitHub Copilot Business is $19 a seat and includes 1,900 AI credits per user a month, pooled across the organisation, with usage beyond the pool charged at $0.01 per credit. On that exchange rate the 10-seat pool of 19,000 credits is worth $190, which is the same as the seat bill. Cursor Teams seats are $30, $100 or $200, each matching an individual plan, with third-party models at API list price. Devin Teams is $80 for the team plus $40 per full developer seat, and its page says only that a usage allowance refreshes daily and weekly, with extra usage consumed at API pricing. We could not find a Devin allowance expressed as a number, so we cannot say how far a Devin seat goes.

OpenHands reverses the structure. The Agent Canvas is free, MIT-licensed and, in the pricing table’s words, “bring your own LLM key”. All the model cost goes straight to your provider, at that provider’s list price. That makes the bill a function of tokens, which no seat page prints for you, so the table below turns the seat bills into a token budget you can compare against your own usage.

The break-even: how many tokens before the free tool costs more

Take each seat bill, subtract the $14.99 server, and what is left is the monthly token spend at which the self-hosted route stops being cheaper. Anthropic prices Claude Sonnet 5.5 at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, and Claude Haiku 5.5 at $0.10 and $0.50 for prompts up to 100,000 tokens. Those two models bracket the choice: one for hard changes, one for routine ones.

Seat plan beaten	Seat bill	Token budget before self-hosting costs more	Per developer	Sonnet 5.5 tokens that budget buys	Sonnet 5.5, 4 input to 1 output	Haiku 5.5 tokens that budget buys
Copilot Business	$190	$175.01	$17.50	87.5M in or 17.5M out	48.6M	1,750.1M in or 350.0M out
Cursor Teams Premium	$300	$285.01	$28.50	142.5M in or 28.5M out	79.2M	2,850.1M in or 570.0M out
Devin Teams	$480	$465.01	$46.50	232.5M in or 46.5M out	129.2M	4,650.1M in or 930.0M out

Team of 10. Budget = seat bill minus the $14.99 KVM 2 renewal price. Tokens in millions a month, for the whole team, at list price with no prompt caching. The 4-to-1 blend is our assumption (blended $3.60 per million tokens); real agent runs differ, and cached input reads are cheaper. Our arithmetic.

Read it this way: against Copilot Business, a team that burns 48.6M Sonnet 5.5 tokens a month on that blend, about 4.9M a developer, is at the line. We have not measured how many tokens an agent session uses, and no vendor on this page publishes it, so treat the blend as a unit for your own billing dashboard, not a forecast. The useful move is to log one week of real usage on a trial key and multiply.

The same comparison as a bill at four token spends

Team token spend a month	Self-hosted total with KVM 2	Against Copilot ($190)	Against Cursor ($300)	Against Devin ($480)
$50	$64.99	$125.01 cheaper	$235.01 cheaper	$415.01 cheaper
$100	$114.99	$75.01 cheaper	$185.01 cheaper	$365.01 cheaper
$200	$214.99	$24.99 dearer	$85.01 cheaper	$265.01 cheaper
$400	$414.99	$224.99 dearer	$114.99 dearer	$65.01 cheaper

Self-hosted total = $14.99 server renewal + token spend. ‘Cheaper’ means the self-hosted route costs less. Our arithmetic on 30 October 2026 prices; seat plans carry their own allowances, so this is a bill-for-bill comparison, not a quality or output comparison.

At $100 a month of tokens for the team, the self-hosted route saves $365.01 a month against Devin Teams, $4,380.12 a year, $185.01 against Cursor and $75.01 against Copilot Business. At $400 it still beats Devin by $65.01, loses to Cursor by $114.99, and loses to Copilot by more. Cursor adds a wrinkle for anyone tempted to bring a key to it: its Teams plan charges a Cursor Token Rate of $0.25 per million tokens on top of the model price, bring-your-own-key included, which is $12.50 on every 50 million tokens.

What the free tool does not give a team

This is where the arithmetic hides the real price. The pricing page lists the free Agent Canvas as “single user / shared identity”. Ten developers on it share one login and one set of model keys, which is a governance problem before it is a cost problem. The paid Teams plan fixes that with multi-user identity and RBAC for $500 a month for up to 10 users, and caps usage at 5,000 sessions a month. Add the $14.99 server and the 10-developer bill is $514.99 before tokens, which is $34.99 above Devin Teams and $324.99 above Copilot Business. For a team that needs per-person identity, the reason to pick OpenHands is model choice and keeping the code on your own machine, not the invoice.

The project is real and active. It is MIT licensed, GitHub showed 92,240 stars on 30 October 2026 and the last push was on 2026-10-30. Its README says the Canvas can also drive third-party agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI, and that “the most powerful way to run OpenHands is on a server in the cloud”, so the agents keep working when a laptop is shut. We did not install it or run a task, so everything here is a price and licence check, not a statement about how well it fixes bugs.

The self-hosting guide says a 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM machine “is plenty for a single user”. It publishes no size for 10 users, so the Hostinger KVM 2 (2 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) we price is our assumption, with a KVM 4 (4 vCPU, 16 GB) as the next step up. Hostinger’s plans are paid upfront, so the monthly rate is the plan total divided by 24 months. See Hostinger VPS plans.

When a seat plan is still the right buy

Your team is small or light on agents. Copilot Business is $19 a seat with the credits included. There is nothing to patch, and the seat bill is capped by the seat count unless you buy credits beyond the pool.
Nobody owns a server. Every self-hosted figure here excludes engineer time. One hour a month of an engineer can cost more than the $75.01 a month you save against Copilot at a $100 token spend.
You need per-person identity and audit. That is the paid OpenHands tier or a seat plan whichever way you go.
You want a hosted agent with a ticket integration out of the box. Devin lists Slack, Teams, Linear, Jira and the major git hosts on its plan table. We did not test any of them.

How we checked

Every price on this page was read on the vendor’s own page in a rendered browser on 30 October 2026: OpenHands’ pricing table, Devin’s plans page, GitHub’s Copilot plans documentation, Cursor’s models and pricing documentation, Anthropic’s API pricing and Hostinger’s VPS page. The licence, star count and last-push date come from GitHub’s REST API and the repository’s LICENSE, README and self-hosting guide. All 27 facts are logged with the exact quote and evidence file. The 10-developer scenario, the token blend and every total are our arithmetic. We did not run any of these products, so this is a price and licence check, not a speed, quality or reliability test.
