Agentastic vs Superset
Superset and Agentastic sit in the same category: run many CLI coding agents in parallel, one git worktree per task, on macOS. The differences are in the shell around the agents — and in what you pay for. Agentastic is a native Swift app (~25 MB) with GPU-accelerated Ghostty terminals, a built-in editor and browser, and multi-provider code review, and its premium layer — cloud agents, remote SSH agents, Linear / Sentry issue tracking — is free. Superset is an Electron app (source-available under the Elastic License) with a diff viewer and external-IDE handoff; its free tier is local and single-user, with remote workspaces, Linear integration, and team features gated behind the paid Pro plan.
Who should choose each option
Agentastic
Choose Agentastic for a native app with an editor, agent-drivable browser, code review, and free cloud / SSH agents built in.
Superset
Choose Superset if you want a source-available Electron app and mostly hand off to an external IDE.

Pricing
Agentastic
Free — everything ships in the free app: cloud agents, remote SSH, Linear / Sentry issue tracking, browser automation, and code review. BYO agent subscriptions.
Superset
Free tier is local and single-user. Pro ($20/user/mo, $15 billed yearly) gates remote workspaces, Linear integration, and team features; SSO and audit logs are Enterprise.
Using them together
They cover the same layer, so most developers pick one. If you go Agentastic, everything above ships in the free app; if you go Superset, budget for Pro when you want remote workspaces.
Frequently asked questions
Is Superset open source?
Superset is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0 — the code is on GitHub with restrictions on offering it as a service. Agentastic is a free native app.
Both run any CLI agent — what actually differs?
The shell around the terminal. Agentastic adds a built-in editor, an agent-drivable browser (dev browser CLI, React Grab, tunnel sharing), multi-provider code review, Docker / Apple Container isolation, and free cloud and SSH agents. Superset pairs its terminal and diff viewer with handoff to an external IDE.
Do I need a paid plan to run agents remotely?
In Superset, remote workspaces are part of the Pro plan. In Agentastic, cloud agents (Modal, Fly.io, Vercel Sandbox — bring your own account) and remote SSH agents on any dev server are free, and sessions keep running after your Mac sleeps.
What does Superset charge for that Agentastic includes free?
Superset's Pro plan ($20/user/month, or $15 billed yearly) covers remote workspaces, Linear integration, and team features; SSO and audit logs are Enterprise. In Agentastic, cloud agents, remote SSH agents, and Linear / Sentry issue tracking all ship in the free app — alongside features Superset doesn't offer at any tier, like the built-in editor, agent-drivable browser, multi-provider code review, and container isolation.
Which app is lighter?
Agentastic is a ~25 MB native Swift app with GPU-accelerated Ghostty terminals. Superset is an Electron app, so it carries a bundled Chromium runtime.
