Hyper vs Warp

Hyper is a free terminal application for people working in a command-line interface. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with split panes, GPU acceleration, SSH support, and a scripting API. The project says speed and stability are priorities and uses xterm.js as its terminal engine. Users can configure the shell, environment variables, appearance, window size, scrollback, and other settings in .hyper.js, and change command bindings there as well. Themes and extensions provide additional ways to alter or intercept terminal behavior. Extensions are Node.js modules available on npm; the API lets plugins work with React components and Redux actions. Plugins can be reloaded with Command+R, and Hyper also loads them periodically or after plugin configuration changes. Downloads are listed for macOS, Windows, Debian, Fedora, and AppImage. The displayed latest version is v3.4.1.

Warp is a terminal application for macOS, Windows and Linux, with Warp Terminal and a separate Warp Agent CLI. It provides split panes, session sync, GPU acceleration, a scripting API and SSH support. Agents can be watched, steered or handed off from the web, mobile, terminal or IDE, and connect with Slack, Linear, GitHub, Jira and GitLab. Software factories are defined in factory.yaml with supporting agent files and can run from GitHub, Slack, webhooks or schedules. Factories can also run fully self-hosted inside a customer’s VPC. The Free plan costs nothing and includes core terminal features, with limited cloud agents, Warp Drive, collaboration and conversation storage. Build costs $20 a month billed annually with 1,500 credits; Max costs $200 a month billed annually with 18,000 credits. Business costs $50 a month billed annually for up to 25 seats.
