Hypervibe vs Praex: Features, Pricing & Which Is Better (2026)

A side-by-side comparison of Hypervibe and Praex — features, pricing, and ideal use cases — to help you decide which AI tool fits your workflow.

Hypervibe

Paid

Native macOS app that lays out coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI as real terminals on one visual board.

Visual Agent Board: Pan and zoom across real terminals running each agent's CLI in a true PTY, so Ctrl-C, Vim and htop work as in any terminal.
Mission Map and Teams: See which consoles are working, resting or need you, group agents into teams with roles, and hand tasks between agents with a summarized brief.
Loops: Trigger a console on a schedule, on idle or on output, with a goal so the loop retires itself once it is met.
Voice Planner: Control the board in plain speech with spoken replies; microphone audio is transcribed on your Mac and destructive actions wait for confirmation.
Studios: Generate documents with PDF export, repo diagrams, a code tree browser and an Obsidian-style markdown vault from your repository.
Session Continuity: Workspaces are saved on every change and each console relaunches and resumes its last conversation through the CLI's native resume.
Multiple Accounts and Usage Analytics: Run two accounts of the same CLI side by side and view token analytics per agent.

Parallel Feature Work: Run several Claude Code or Codex sessions across worktrees and monitor all from one screen.
Agent Triage: Spot which of many running agents is waiting on input without cycling through terminal tabs.
Hands-free Orchestration: Direct and reassign agents by voice while reading code or reviewing diffs.
Recurring Automation: Schedule agents on loops for repeated checks, test runs or refactors until a goal is met.
Repo Documentation: Turn a codebase into PDF docs and diagrams using the studios.
Multi-account Workflows: Keep personal and work CLI accounts isolated in the same workspace.

Freemium

Open-source AI coding copartner with its own Velox, Faber and Lucia models, available in terminal, mobile and web.

Own Model Family: Velox II, Faber II and Lucia II are tuned and served by Praex on its own infrastructure, sized from quick edits to frontier-scale problems.
Terminal CLI: Install with a one-line script and let the agent read files, run commands, edit code and verify tests directly in your terminal.
Cross-Device Sessions: Start a task in the terminal, steer it from your phone and review it on the web with the same agent, memory and session.
Bring Your Own Keys: Run Praex on any model with your own API keys or hardware at no extra cost.
Open-Source Core: The CLI is an MIT-licensed fork of opencode, so the agent harness can be inspected and modified.
No Sign-Up Chat: Start chatting on the web with the free Velox II model without creating an account.

Fixing Failing Builds: Hand the agent a broken deploy and let it read configs, run tests and patch source until tests pass.
Everyday Quick Edits: Use the free Velox II model for instant answers and small code changes in the terminal.
Deep Reasoning Tasks: Escalate to Faber II on Pro for complex coding and multi-step reasoning.
Mobile Task Steering: Kick off a refactor at your desk and monitor or redirect it from your phone.
Self-Hosted Workflows: Point the CLI at your own models or keys to keep code on infrastructure you control.
