ClawIDE vs Superset
A source-available desktop app for 20+ agents with Pro at $20 per user per month, versus the same local workflow self-hosted in the browser with Pro at $5/mo.
TL;DR
Superset is a desktop app under the Elastic License 2.0 for running 20+ agents, with gateways such as OpenRouter, Bedrock and Vercel and integrations for Linear, Slack and GitHub. It’s free for one user locally, and Pro is $20 per user per month ($15 billed annually).
ClawIDE covers the same local workflow as a self-hosted app you open from any browser, free for the whole workspace. Pro, with Linear, Jira and GitHub sync and Symphony-compatible runs, is $5/mo.

Who each is best for
Choose ClawIDE if
- You want a browser UI and tmux-backed sessions on your own machine or server.
-
You use Jira, a markdown task board in your repo, or Symphony
WORKFLOW.mdruns. - You want local model runtimes such as Ollama or LM Studio in the same gateway settings as hosted gateways.
- You want automation for $5 a month rather than $20 per user.
Choose Superset if
- You want a Slack integration, or Amazon Bedrock as a gateway.
- You prefer a desktop app.
- Source-available code under ELv2 matters to your team.
Moving from Superset
- Install ClawIDE on the machine that holds your repos, then run
clawideand openhttp://localhost:9800. - In the setup wizard, import your repos as projects and create a feature workspace (a git worktree) per task.
- Re-enter your gateway keys under Settings → Gateways. Keys are stored locally and injected per pane.
- On Pro, connect Linear or GitHub Issues with a personal token. Slack isn’t supported.
ClawIDE doesn’t import Superset settings or history, so finish or merge in-flight work in Superset first.
Your agents, on your hardware, in any browser.
Install the binary, run clawide, and open localhost:9800. The setup wizard finds your agent CLIs and projects. Every install includes a 14-day Pro trial.
