# Best Self-hosted Coding agents

> Source: https://theagentsindex.com/best/coding-agents/self-hosted (curated, quality-gated, re-verified)

16 of the 25 coding agents in this index qualify as self-hosted — every one a Published, quality-gated listing, not a scraped row.

Across the set: 12 of 14 with known API status (86%) expose a public API, paid plans span $5–$100, and 12 offer a free or freemium tier.

16 of 16 carry a fact-verification date; the freshest check is 2026-08-24.

Self-hosted is a deployment question, not a license question — every tool on this page happens to also be open-source, but what actually varies is how much operational work self-hosting demands: a single static binary you run locally (Zot), a CLI you point at your own infra (Aider, Cline), or a platform built for a real self-managed, sandboxed deployment (OpenHands) rather than a one-person local setup. If deployment control and data sovereignty are the actual requirement, that's the axis to compare on here — not license terms.

## Methodology

Assembled programmatically from the live index: every entry is a Published, quality-gated listing in Coding agents carrying the "Self-hosted" tag, ranked by tier then name. The numbers (16 tools, 86% of known with an API, paid plans $5–$100) are computed from the structured facts on those listings — this page exists only because the underlying data clears the density gate.
