Hoplite

Hoplite runs coding agents in the cloud rather than on your laptop. You hand it a task, it spins up an isolated development environment with your repository, reads and edits the code, runs the test suite, and opens a pull request. The output is a diff on GitHub — reviewable, revisable and rejectable through the workflow your team already uses.

How a task runs

Each task gets its own thread and its own sandbox. The agent can execute the repo's tests to check its own work and drive a browser to preview the running application, so "it compiles" is not the only verification available to it. You iterate by replying on the thread; sensitive actions sit behind approval gates, and secrets are supplied as encrypted environment variables rather than committed anywhere.

Access

Three entry points: the web app, a CLI, and an MCP server, so another agent or an editor can drive Hoplite programmatically. Repository access is granted through a GitHub App.

Pricing

• Pro — $99/month per seat ($82.50 billed annually): 25 pooled sandboxes per seat, 100 new threads per rolling hour, 25 enabled automations per workspace, 5-minute scheduling and $100 of monthly credits per seat.
• Scale — $299/month per seat ($249.17 annually): 150 pooled sandboxes per seat, 500 threads per rolling hour, 100 automations, 1-minute scheduling, configurable idle timeout and larger 16 vCPU / 64 GiB sandboxes with priority support.
• Enterprise — custom: bespoke sandbox capacity, advanced security, private networking, contractual SLAs and an architecture review with annual agreements.

Worth knowing

There is no free tier advertised, and the pricing is per seat with credits metered on top, so cost tracks how much agent work you actually run. Hoplite is Y Combinator-backed.
