How DevThrottle compares
Two questions, two answers: how a factory compares with building it yourself, and how the software compares with what developers use today.
A factory or an app builder?
An app builder hands you a tool, and you do the building. A software factory hands you a working product, checked by a person.
- The work of three developers, at a tenth of the cost.
- A mockup before anything is built, and a plain-English report after.
- Designed around the technology you already use.
Running the agents yourself?
DevThrottle is not a different agent. It is the layer that runs the ones you already use. This compares the usual ways to keep up with a whole fleet of them.
| What you need | Terminal windows | Single-agent tools | DevThrottle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Every agent in one place | No | No | Yes |
| Run many agents across different tools at once | Yes | No | Yes |
| Flagged the moment an agent needs you | No | Partly | Yes |
| Check in from any browser | No | No | Yes |
| Answer from your phone | No | No | Yes |
| Two-way voice: dictate to agents, hear them answer | No | Partly | Yes |
| Agents keep running in the background | Partly | No | Yes |
| Script the whole fleet (Control API and command-line tools) | No | No | Yes |
| Runs on your machine | Yes | Partly | Yes |
"Terminal windows" and "single-agent tools" are common approaches, not specific products. You keep using your agents inside DevThrottle either way.
Questions
- Is DevThrottle an AI agent?
- No. DevThrottle does not write code and is not an agent. It is the control room for the agents you already run. It lines up Claude Code, Codex and your other tools in one place, so you can see what each is doing at a glance and answer them by voice. You bring the agents and their subscriptions.
- Which coding agents does it work with?
- The AI coding agents you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and others, across different tools at the same time. You keep your existing agent and subscription. You can also point it at any other command-line tool and run that in a plain terminal session.
- Can I really talk to my agents?
- Yes. Voice mode reads you what an agent is doing and types your answers back, so you can keep things moving from the car or a walk. It learns a dictionary of your project names and jargon, and that dictionary follows you across your machines. Voice is included in Pro.
- What does each plan include?
- Director only signs the Director in to your account on every machine you own. Remote, $10 a month, adds a gateway run for you, the Cockpit in any browser and the phone app. Pro, $50 a month per person, adds dictation, spoken replies, the wingman, the Mentor's weekly report, and factories, all included, with nothing metered on top. Factories come with Pro, not Remote. Remote and Pro have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Who is behind DevThrottle?
- DevThrottle is made in Toronto. It is the tool that runs its maker's own client work across a dozen coding agents, all day, every day.
Who does the work?
Have the factory run for you, from $1,500 a month. Or run the software yourself, $50 a month per person.
