Felan vs. Coder Agents
Both run agents on your own infrastructure with your own provider credentials. Coder Agents starts from an external system calling its API, such as a CI job; Felan triggers from events, schedules, or by hand, out of the box.

Common Questions
Is Felan a Coder Agents alternative?
Yes, for teams that want published pricing and native triggers. Both run agents on your own infrastructure with your own provider credentials.
Does Coder Agents run on your own infrastructure?
Yes, on every plan including the free Community tier: the agent loop runs inside your Coder control plane. Felan's managed cloud is the default, with the whole platform self-hosted on Enterprise.
Can I use local or self-hosted models with Coder Agents?
Yes, through OpenAI-compatible endpoints an admin configures, alongside Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure, and AWS Bedrock. Felan supports local and private models the same way, for every agent.
What triggers Coder Agents?
A chat, or an external system calling its API, such as a GitHub Actions job. No native schedule or first-party inbound event trigger is documented. Felan triggers from events, schedules, or by hand.
How does Coder Agents pricing work?
Community is free with 5 concurrent agents. Premium and AI Premium, which most teams need for production use, are priced on request; no public seat price or Agent Time rate is published. Felan Team is €99 a month, published, for the whole team.
When is Coder Agents a better fit?
When your team already self-hosts Coder for developer environments and wants agents built into the same control plane, with admin-managed provider credentials.
