COMPARISON
Hyperlane vs Capy
Hyperlane is for teams that need a task taken end to end: planned, executed in an isolated cloud machine, verified, and delivered as a GitHub pull request through a web workspace, API, SDK, CLI, or MCP server. Capy is for teams that want a fleet of cloud agents, with Captain orchestrators, cloud machines, and cloud phones for mobile QA.
A single accountable run versus a coordinated fleet: two answers to the same question about how agent work should be organised.
Hyperlane vs Capy, side by side
| Hyperlane | Capy | |
|---|---|---|
| Agent model | One accountable run per task | Fleet of cloud agents with Captain orchestrators |
| Execution | Isolated cloud machine per run | Cloud machines, desktop app, cloud phones |
| Assurance | Verify-before-done gate on checkable edits | SOC 2 Type II; browser and mobile QA machines |
| Interfaces | Web, REST API, TypeScript SDK, CLI, MCP server | Slack, Linear, GitHub; narrower API access |
| Human takeover | Live Linux desktop with Chrome, VS Code, Files | Desktop app; cloud machines for QA |
| Pricing unit | Credits one-to-one with dollars | Credit-and-machine-limit bundles |
| Entry price | Free plan with 10 min of agent computer time per month | Lite $20/mo with $20 credits |
| Enterprise | SSO/SAML, VPC, on-prem, air-gapped | Enterprise custom; SOC 2 Type II |
Fleet orchestration vs one accountable run
Capy’s model is a fleet: many cloud agents working in parallel, with long-lived Captain orchestrators coordinating them. Hyperlane’s model is a run: one task, one isolated machine, one trace, and one pull request. Fleets suit breadth. Runs suit work where a single reviewer needs to see the whole chain from task to evidence.
Verification before delivery
Hyperlane’s verify-before-done gate stops a run from claiming success while checkable edits lack a passing check. The agent can then fix failing CI and answer review comments on the pull request it opened. Capy publishes SOC 2 Type II. It also runs cloud machines for browser and mobile QA. That is a different assurance: compliance and device coverage rather than a per-run completion gate.
The surface you build on
Hyperlane exposes the same run through a web workspace, REST API, TypeScript SDK, CLI, and MCP server, so a team can trigger work from CI, an issue tracker, or an editor. Capy documents Slack, Linear, and GitHub integrations, and its API access is narrower than a full platform SDK. Integration breadth and programmable depth are different advantages.
Pricing that maps to dollars
Capy sells bundles: Lite at $20 per month with $20 of credits, Pro at $100, and Max from $200. Hyperlane sells dollar-for-dollar credits, so $20 buys $20 of model and agent usage. The Free plan includes 10 minutes of agent computer time each month. Paid plans add monthly computer-time allowances plus on-demand usage up to a hard ceiling.
Where Capy wins
Capy is the stronger choice for mobile QA. Cloud phones let its agents exercise mobile flows that a Linux desktop cannot reach, and the Captain layer is built for coordinating many agents at once. SOC 2 Type II matters to buyers who need it on day one. If your backlog is broad, parallel, and device-dependent, Capy’s fleet design fits better than a single-run platform.
What Hyperlane ships
- Autonomous agent loop that plans, edits, runs, and verifies work end-to-end
- Every run executes inside an isolated, resource-capped sandbox
- Live execution traces - diffs, terminal output, and reasoning as it happens
- GitHub-native workflow: pushes branches and opens pull requests itself
- Web app, REST API, TypeScript SDK, CLI, and MCP server interfaces
- Dollar-for-dollar credits - pay $20, get $20 of agent work
Frequently asked
Is Hyperlane a Capy alternative?
For delegated ticket-to-pull-request work, yes. Hyperlane runs each task in its own cloud machine and verifies the result before delivery. Capy is the better fit when the work needs a coordinated fleet or mobile devices in the loop.
Does Hyperlane have cloud phones?
No. Hyperlane gives every run a Linux desktop with Chrome, VS Code, and Files, which covers browser work but not native mobile devices. If mobile QA on device profiles is the requirement, Capy’s cloud phones are the closer fit.
How does Capy pricing compare with Hyperlane?
Capy’s Lite plan is $20 per month with $20 of credits, Pro is $100, and Max starts at $200. Hyperlane’s credits are dollar-for-dollar, so $20 buys $20 of model and agent usage, with monthly computer-time allowances on paid plans.
Can Hyperlane orchestrate many agents at once?
Hyperlane runs many independent tasks in parallel, each in its own sandbox. It does not publish a Captain-style orchestrator that manages a fleet. Coordination happens through the API, which can launch and track runs across repositories.
Which platform is more programmable?
Hyperlane publishes a REST API, TypeScript SDK, CLI, and MCP server alongside the web workspace. Capy documents Slack, Linear, and GitHub integrations, and its API access is narrower than a full platform SDK.
Do both verify the agent’s work?
Hyperlane enforces a verify-before-done gate: a run cannot claim success while checkable edits lack a passing check. Capy publishes SOC 2 Type II, which is an organisational compliance certification rather than a per-run completion gate.
