You want it always on, with a board you can inspect, not another undocumented VPS. ## Who this is for This page is for teams that already understand Hermes Agent and want a persistent runtime they can inspect from a mission board instead of operating an undocumented VPS. DeployHermes is the managed host around Hermes Agent. It gives each workspace a private runtime and a visible operating record for the squad using it. - [See all comparisons](/comparisons): Compare DeployHermes with self-hosting and other deployment approaches. ## What you get Each workspace gets an isolated private runtime for Hermes Agent. Bots keep their own role, model, memory, and skills while the workspace keeps the shared board of missions, decision tickets, and run receipts. DeployHermes supports Telegram and the web application, encrypted provider keys, and the developer surface for MCP and API access when you want another agent driving the workspace. - Isolated private runtime per workspace. - Bots with their own role, model, memory, and skills. - Missions, decision tickets, and run receipts. - Telegram and the web app for operating the workspace. - Bring your own provider keys, stored encrypted. - [Open the developer portal](/developers): Review the MCP and public API surface. ## What you do not get DeployHermes is not a $10 Docker VPS and it does not include model tokens. Model usage is billed by your provider at their own rate. Hosted chat-channel support is currently Telegram plus the web application. DeployHermes does not currently ship Discord or Slack as hosted chat channels. - [Discord support status](/setup-guides/discord-setup): Current DeployHermes support status for Discord. - [Slack support status](/setup-guides/slack-setup): Current DeployHermes support status for Slack. ## Pricing, stated plainly The early-bird platform price is $99 per month versus a $249 list price until 2026-09-10 UTC. That platform fee covers the managed runtime and workspace surface. Model usage is billed by the customer's provider at that provider's rate. ## Self-hosting versus DeployHermes Self-hosting wins when you need exotic networking or infrastructure decisions outside the managed product boundary. DeployHermes wins when the bottleneck is operating an auditable persistent squad instead of maintaining the server itself. | Option | Where it wins | | --- | --- | | DeployHermes | Managed runtime, visible mission board, decision tickets, and run receipts for persistent squads. | | Self-hosting | More control for exotic networking and infrastructure choices, with the operational burden staying on your team. | - [Read the focused comparison](/comparisons/hermes-host-vs-self-hosting): Detailed tradeoffs between DeployHermes and self-hosting. - [Browse self-hosting guides](/self-hosting): Setup notes and pitfalls for teams running Hermes themselves. ## How a first workspace starts Sign in, create a workspace, connect a provider, give a bot a mission, and read the receipt after the first run. Use the first run to verify the exact provider, mission flow, and result shape before you rely on the workspace for recurring work. - [Telegram setup guide](/setup-guides/telegram-setup): Pair the supported chat channel before testing a live conversation. - [Contact DeployHermes](/contact): Email hello@deploy-hermes.com if you need deployment help. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the difference between Hermes Agent and DeployHermes?
