The Agent ExaminerIndependent Review Authority

Best platforms for running agents 24/7

Running an agent around the clock is an operations problem: the agent has to stay up, recover from failures, and scale with load. Managed platforms and agent-hosting infrastructure both take that on, unlike a framework you have to operate yourself.

How this ranking is built

Included when the category is “managed” or “hosting” (something that keeps the agent running for you). Ranked by the editorial scalability dimension, then overall score.

The editorial score is our opinion, applied by one rubric to every platform including Alfe. See the methodology.
