Eaon vs Superset
The free, open-source Superset alternative
Run your coding agents side by side in git worktrees on macOS, Windows or Linux. Everything is included, for everyone.
In short
Superset runs more than twenty agent CLIs in parallel worktrees, with a file editor, an in-app browser, pull request review and a Linear and GitHub issues view. Remote access to your machines, the phone app, automations and the Linear integration need its Pro plan, from $15 per user a month billed yearly. Its code is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0.
Eaon is open source under GPL-3.0 and free for any team size, and it runs on Windows and Linux as well as macOS. Pull request review, Linear and scheduled tasks are included. Superset has a code editor, a browser inside its agent workspace and a phone app, which Eaon's ADE doesn't.

Can I use Superset and Eaon together?
Yes. Both work on git worktrees in your own repositories, so you can try Eaon on one project and keep Superset on another.
Is Eaon really free?
Yes. Eaon is free and open source under GPL-3.0, with no account and no subscription. You pay your model providers directly, or nothing at all with local models.
