AutoGPT
AutoGPT turns plain‑English requests into running agents using a visual no‑code builder, a public marketplace of agents, and background scheduling. It offers hosted Pro and Max plans billed annually and an open‑source self‑host option that requires supplying model API keys and infrastructure.
The pricing pages list two main hosted plans with yearly-billed per-month rates and a pay-as-you-go credit wallet for agent runs; self-hosting is open source and free but requires your own model keys and infrastructure.Is AutoGPT right for you?
Good for
- Founders who want to build repeatable, scheduled automations without code and deploy community agents from a public marketplace quickly.
- Create agents from plain English via AutoPilot chat so you can go from idea to a working agent without wiring flows manually.
- Visual no-code Builder for precise control lets you compose complex flows with drag-and-drop blocks and inspect each step live.
Keep in mind
- The hosted cloud does not offer a free tier; free use requires self-hosting and bringing your own model keys and infra.
- Multi-user team workspaces on the hosted product are listed as 'coming soon' and require contacting sales rather than immediate self-serve purchase.
- If you need immediate multi‑user team workspaces on the hosted cloud, confirm Team plan availability and billing terms because hosted team workspaces are listed as coming soon.
