Lanes: Buy vs Skip (Agency Delivery Model)
IF your agency runs CLI-first development and needs parallel AI coding agents with centralized access control, THEN Lanes' Free tier (1 user, unlimited projects) lets you pilot it at $0 monthly. IF you must delegate agent tasks to client staff or multiple teammates, THEN the Pro tier at $19 per month for up to 10 members with roles and permissions is the gate to pass before scaling.

Lanes: Buy vs Skip (Agency Delivery Model)
“IF your agency runs CLI-first development and needs parallel AI coding agents with centralized access control, THEN Lanes' Free tier (1 user, unlimited projects) lets you pilot it at $0 monthly. IF you must delegate agent tasks to client staff or multiple teammates, THEN the Pro tier at $19 per month for up to 10 members with roles and permissions is the gate to pass before scaling.”
- Your delivery team already lives in git worktrees and terminals, so the CLI-first model adds no training tax.
- You need to run multiple coding agents in parallel on isolated branches while keeping a single audit view for client reporting.
- Client work spans 100+ tools like Gmail, GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, or Stripe, and you want one MCP server to connect them all.
- You plan to resell Lanes as a managed service, starting with the $2,250 Starter Agent Deploy offer to local businesses.
- Your agency must enforce granular permissions per client or per project, which Access Profiles handle without custom code.
- Your clients or internal team expect a GUI-first, no-terminal experience; Lanes assumes comfort with CLI and git.
- You need more than 10 members collaborating on agent sessions, since the Pro tier caps at that and higher tiers are not detailed in the data.
- Your projects require hosted form handling beyond 1,000 forms or 50,000 submissions per month, which the Pro tier limits.
- You cannot self-host the Lanes Link MCP server due to client security policies, and the tool's value drops without it.
- Your agency's work is mostly no-code automation, not software development, so parallel coding agents are irrelevant.
