CodeTogether vs Coterm

CodeTogether helps organizations track the cost and value of AI-assisted software work, with real-time collaboration across IDEs. It records AI spending and human time in IDEs, terminals, and agent sessions, then assigns a price and value to delivered pull requests and calculates value per dollar. Teams can code, debug, and review together, joining from an IDE or browser. Plugins are listed for VS Code, IntelliJ-based IDEs, Eclipse, and Visual Studio; a plugin can track agentic command-line tools running inside that IDE. CodeTogether is offered as SaaS or for on-premises deployment inside a private network. Starter costs $10 a month per developer for up to 25 developers, while Business costs $49 a month per developer for unlimited team size; both list a 10% discount for annual licenses. Enterprise pricing is by custom quote. A free plan and free trial are listed. CodeTogether requires SSO for authentication. Its AI documentation currently lists only GitHub as a source-control connector, without Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps connectors. The company says it does not store code or train on customer data.

Coterm is a native macOS workspace for two developers sharing a terminal, browser, and coding-agent session in real time. A live room lets both people join, follow terminal activity, see participants, and share previews. The shared workflow lists Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Aider, Amp, Cursor Agent, and other CLI agents. Coterm uses a Ghostty-based terminal with vertical tabs, a notification panel, and a socket control API. A CLI and Unix socket expose programmatic commands, while integration hooks can be configured for Claude Code, Amp, Cursor, Gemini, and Kiro CLI. The Mac app runs locally without a Coterm-hosted account service. Collaboration components can run in the user's Cloudflare account. Installation is available through DMG or Homebrew on macOS 14.0 or later, for Apple Silicon and Intel. An iOS companion is in beta. Coterm is free under GPL-3.0-or-later.
