title: Enterprise vs. Open Source
description: Compare OpenHands Enterprise and Open Source offerings to choose the right option for your team
icon: scale-balanced
---

OpenHands is available in two deployment options: **Open Source** for individual developers and small teams running the Local GUI on their own machines, and **OpenHands Enterprise** for organizations that need advanced collaboration, integrations, and management capabilities.

## Feature Comparison

The table below highlights the key differences between the Open Source Local GUI and OpenHands Enterprise offerings:

| Feature | Open Source Local GUI | OpenHands Enterprise |
|---------|-------------------|----------------------|
| **Full breadth of agent functionality (sub-agents, MCP, skills, model agnosticism)** | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Where does the agent run?** | Local machine, maybe a developer's desktop or a GitHub runner | ✅ Cloud Runtime |
| **Scalability (# of parallel agent conversations)** | Limited by machine | ✅ Unlimited, on-demand |
| **Sandboxed runtime environments** *Secure environments for agent execution and exploration* | Requires configuration | ✅ |

## When to Choose Each Option

### Open Source Local GUI

The Open Source Local GUI is ideal for:

- Individual developers exploring AI-assisted coding
- Small teams with basic requirements
- Self-hosted environments where you manage your own infrastructure
- Running OpenHands locally on your own machine

### OpenHands Enterprise

OpenHands Enterprise is the right choice when you need:

- **Team collaboration** — Share conversations and manage multiple users from a single platform
- **Platform integrations** — Invoke OpenHands directly from Slack, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket
