CodeTogether vs Tuple

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.

Tuple is a remote pair-programming app for engineers, combining screen sharing, audio, video, and remote control. Tuple says calls can stream at resolutions up to 5K. Participants can annotate screens, react with emoji, use animations and keyboard shortcuts, and switch the screen sharer with one click. App Veil hides sensitive applications and notifications during sharing. Browser guests can talk, use a webcam, and view a shared screen; screen sharing, remote control, and drawing require the app. Tuple supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and web, with Linux marked alpha. Slack commands start calls and list ongoing calls, while Google Calendar and Apple Calendar integrations add call links or rooms. Triggers can run user code when calls or participant membership changes. Tuple says call data and media are end-to-end encrypted, although media for calls with four or more participants may be relayed through its servers. Local capture stores transcripts, recordings, annotations, and app metadata, with on-device transcription. Pricing starts at $30/user/mo, with a 14-day trial.
