What is the main difference between AEQI and Superset?

Superset is a desktop workspace that runs many coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree, on a company you already run. AEQI is that company: agents in named roles, a quest ledger, memory that outlives any session, and a server with its own website and billing. Superset speeds up code review; AEQI runs the business around it.

Is Superset open source, and what does it cost?

The repository is public under the Elastic License 2.0, free to self-host for one user. As of September 2026, Pro costs $15 to $20 per user per month for unlimited users and remote access in beta; Enterprise is custom, annual, and adds SAML, SCIM, audit logs and a SOC 2 Type II report.

Who should choose Superset over AEQI?

A software team that already has a company and wants more engineering throughput from the developers it has. If the bottleneck is how many pull requests one person can review, Superset targets that directly. Choose AEQI when the bottleneck is the company itself, not the code review queue.

AEQI vs Superset

Choose Superset if you already run a software company and want one engineer to supervise a hundred coding agents at once, with the review tooling to make that survivable.

Choose AEQI if the company is the part that doesn’t exist yet — roles, a ledger, memory and a server, not just faster commits.

What Superset is

Superset describes itself, as of September 2026, as “an agentic IDE to orchestrate 100+ coding agents in parallel.” It runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Copilot, OpenCode and other CLI tools side by side, each in its own git worktree with its own branch and terminal, watched from one dashboard. It was founded in 2026 by three former Y Combinator CTOs. The repository carries 14,100 stars under the Elastic License 2.0. The unit of the product is a workspace running on your own machine, using your own model subscriptions. The desktop app is free for one user; Pro is $15 to $20 per user per month; Enterprise is custom, annual, and quoted directly.

Side by side

Question	Superset	AEQI
Who it's for	A developer or software team already running a company, wanting more engineering throughput.	A founder or small team that wants a company staffed by agents, not just faster software delivery.
Where it lives	A desktop app on your own machine, one git worktree per agent.	Its own hosted Company — a dedicated server in Germany, plus a website, app, API, MCP and CLI.
Agents and roles	No named roles — CLI coding agents run side by side, one per worktree, agent-agnostic by design.	Ten officer agents in named roles — CEO, CTO, COO, CFO, CMO, CRO, CPO, Chief of Staff, General Counsel, Founder's Associate — each with its own permissions.
Memory	None shared across agents; persistent terminal sessions and scheduled automations, but no memory that spans them.	A shared Company memory — mail, decisions and quests linked together — that outlives any single session.
Channels	None — a desktop dashboard, with Linear and Slack integrations on Pro.	One inbox across Email, Slack, Teams, Telegram and WhatsApp.
Hosting and data	Your own machine and your own model subscriptions; remote access in beta on Pro.	One hosted Company per customer, on its own server in Germany, with EU data residency.
Pricing	Free for one user; Pro $15 to $20 per user per month; Enterprise custom, annual only.	€50 (Personal, 1 seat, 1,250 credits), €200 (Startup, 4 seats, 5,000 credits) or €800 (Business, 16 seats, 20,000 credits) a month; two months free annually.
Trial	The free tier is permanent for one user; no time-boxed trial published for Pro.	3-day free trial; 33% off Personal for the first 3 months through 31 October 2026.
Best for	A software team that wants one engineer to supervise many coding agents at once.	A founder whose company doesn't exist yet, or exists only as them, and needs it staffed.

Superset is the better choice when

You already run a software company — accounts, a website, customers — and the bottleneck is developer throughput, not company structure. Superset’s own comparison pages draw exactly this line: it is a developer workspace, not a platform that runs a company, and it lets one engineer supervise a hundred coding agents at once, each in its own git worktree and branch.
You want to keep the model subscriptions you already pay for. Superset is agent-agnostic by design — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Copilot and OpenCode run side by side on your own machine and your own accounts, with nothing new metered.
Review speed and adoption matter more right now than shared memory across agents. The diff viewer, the in-app browser with per-workspace port detection, and one-click handoff to your editor are better than anything we ship for reviewing code, and the repository's 14,100 stars are a community we don’t have.

AEQI is the better choice when

The company itself is the part that doesn’t exist yet — no accounts, no website, no roles — and the work is building that, not reviewing a pull request against a business that’s already running.
You want a record of the reasoning, not just the result: a quest carries who asked, who did it, what it cost and what was learned, and a solved problem becomes a skill the next agent loads without being told. A hundred parallel agents with no shared memory is a hundred times the same first day.
Work needs to keep running after you close the laptop. Superset ships persistent terminal sessions and scheduled automations, but a finished worktree still leaves a diff, not the constraint discovered on the way or the fact that a different agent already tried this and failed.
The job spans more than code: mail, decisions, a website, billing, and a server with your own name on it, in Germany, with EU data residency.

The difference in one sentence

Superset is a workspace where many coding agents work faster inside a company that already exists; AEQI is the company those agents work for — officer agents in named roles, a quest ledger, memory that outlives the session, and a server of its own, running whether or not anyone is at the keyboard.
