13x vs Factory
Enterprise platform of autonomous 'Droids' for the software lifecycle.
13x is a local-first control workspace that runs your coding agents in parallel — with named rigs, a codebase map and live pulse. Here is how the two compare.
Factory targets enterprise teams automating the whole dev lifecycle in the cloud. Pick 13x when you want a personal, local-first cockpit for your own agents — a grid, rigs, map and pulse on your machine. Different scale, different trust model.
| feature | 13x | Factory |
|---|---|---|
| Parallel agent support | ✓ | Cloud droids |
| Local-first (no cloud) | ✓ | CLI + cloud |
| Codebase map / context packets | ✓ | Cloud context |

Factory is great for
- Autonomous 'Droids' across the software lifecycle
- Enterprise integrations for tickets, PRs and incidents
- Has a local Droid CLI alongside the cloud platform
13x is better when
- Platform/enterprise-oriented, not a personal local-first workspace
- Cloud context and dashboards rather than a local grid
- No named rigs or pulse over your own terminals
If you're you want a personal cockpit, not an enterprise platform
13x, because 13x is a local-first workspace for your own agents.
If you're you need everything on your machine
13x, because no cloud droids and no shared context servers.
If you're you run several agents per repo
13x, because rigs and the grid make that a one-click layout.
run your agents in one local grid.
Launch a rig, map your codebase, send less context and watch every session's pulse — all on your machine.
