Agno
Agno provides an open-source AgentOS runtime you deploy in your cloud plus an optional hosted control plane to monitor, govern, and operate agents. Inputs are local agent processes and telemetry; outputs are runtime logs, governance controls, and team dashboards for live agent operations.
Agno separates a free, open-source runtime from a hosted control plane: Free runtime $0/month; Pro control plane $150/month; Enterprise on a custom quote.Is Agno right for you?
Good for
- Engineering teams who want an open-source, self-hosted agent runtime while adding an optional hosted control plane for monitoring and governance.
- The runtime is open-source and free so you can run AgentOS yourself without runtime or serving fees.
- Agno documents that data and compute stay in your infrastructure, so you retain control of storage and retention.
Keep in mind
- Pro includes a single live AgentOS connection by default, so larger fleets require paying per additional connection.
- SAML SSO for team identity is an add-on on Pro (a billed extra) rather than included.
- If you cannot run containers or host the runtime in your cloud, confirm you can deploy AgentOS yourself since the runtime is intended to be self-hosted.
