A hosted AI coding agent, or Reqursor, hosted or self-hosted.
Reqursor runs two ways: hosted with Credits, or on your own server.
- Runs on the provider’s machines
- The provider runs the server
- AI billing depends on the provider
- Hosted by Reqursor, or your server
- Reqursor runs it, or you do
- Credits, or your own key
Reqursor runs both ways
- Nothing to install
- No API key
- Credits included
- Your server
- Your own key
- You run updates
Side by side.
| Aspect | Hosted AI coding agentse.g. | Reqursor |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | On the provider’s machines | Hosted by Reqursor, or a server you operate |
| Who runs the server | The provider that hosts it | Reqursor when hosted, you when self-hosted |
| Who bills the AI usage | Depends on the provider | Credits when hosted, your provider when self-hosted |
Good fit
- Nothing to install: hosted, paid in Credits
- Install and run history on your server
- Spending caps you set per project
Not the right fit
- One license that runs either way
- Code kept from every model provider
- Online stores on a self-hosted install
FAQ
Yes. Reqursor hosts it, your team uses the dashboard in a browser, and AI usage is paid with Reqursor Credits.
A license is for one way or the other, and you cannot switch it yourself. Contact Reqursor and the change is made for you.
The server, its storage and its updates, and the tools your checks need. Hosted by Reqursor, none of that is on your side.
