04 / Cost and deployment
What it costs to run
Individual
Open-source software; infrastructure and agent usage are separate.
Team
Self-hosted; infrastructure and agent usage are separate.
Enterprise
Unknown
Connected agents, models, hosts, and remote executors can add separate costs.
05 / Privacy
Data handling
- Code processing
- Runs locally or on infrastructure selected by the operator; agent providers retain their own processing behavior.
- Indexing
- Unknown
- Retention
- Workspace and SQLite data are stored by the operator.
- Training policy
- Kandev states that it has no telemetry; connected agent-provider policies still apply.
- Enterprise controls
- Self-hosted runtime, Executor profiles, Secrets configuration, Review gates
