Start with every feature available today, including Chat, the seven-phase Build workflow with Design, the model council, and review checkpoints. No credit card is required. During beta, only the complete 30-day trial is available. What comes after beta is a delightful surprise—we'll share it when the time is right.
Your trial starts when you first sign in inside the Mac app.
Beta is your all-access preview. The next reveal will be worth the wait.
Zeus brings planning, multi-agent execution, review, testing, recovery, and decision-making into one local workflow. Comparable capabilities are sold separately across several products.
After beta. Until then, the complete 30-day trial is available.
Selected orchestration, candidate generation, code review, design, and observability plans.
The same adjacent-tool total plus the closest paid multi-model consensus benchmark.
The market figures total selected comparable specialist plans. They provide pricing context—not a claim that Zeus literally replaces $169 or $369 of spend for every customer.
| Zeus capability | Closest alternatives | Public price | Counted | What Zeus adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parallel agents in isolated workspaces | Conductor, Superset, Emdash | Conductor Free: $0; Pro: $50/month | $50 | Automated coordination, recovery, and decision-making instead of requiring you to select and merge results manually. |
| Competing candidate solutions | Cursor, Kiro | Cursor from $20/month; Kiro $20–$200/month | $20 | Multiple agent providers can compete beginning with the plan, followed by automated evaluation and statistical calibration. |
| Multi-model consensus | Perplexity Model Council, open-source council tools | Perplexity Max: $200/month | $200 | Consensus is applied to software decisions, evidence, review, and execution gates rather than research-answer synthesis. |
| AI code review and quality gates | CodeRabbit, Greptile | CodeRabbit Pro: $30/month; Pro+: $60/month; Greptile: $30/month | $30 | Multiple independent reviewers work inside the build-and-repair loop before changes are applied. |
| AI-assisted product design | v0 and other design generators | v0 Plus: $30/user/month | $30 | Design alternatives are evaluated and the accepted direction becomes part of the implementation contract. |
| Model routing and spend controls | OpenRouter, RouteLLM | OpenRouter: 5.5% platform fee; RouteLLM: open source | Not counted | Zeus selects coding agents using capability, availability, budget, and prior outcomes from the current repository. |
| Agent observability and evaluation | LangSmith | Plus: $39/seat/month, plus usage | $39 | Local audit history, pre-run cost controls, execution evidence, and end-to-end workflow receipts. |
| Cross-provider subscription capacity management | No direct commercial equivalent found | Not separately available | $0 | Zeus tracks provider availability and schedules work around subscription limits and recovery windows. |
| Repository-specific performance learning | No direct commercial equivalent found | Not separately available | $0 | Zeus learns which agents, planners, and reviewers perform best for your repository and task type. |
| Complete recoverable decision workflow | No direct commercial equivalent found | Not separately available | $0 | Planning, design, implementation, testing, adversarial review, repair, recovery, and guarded application operate as one system. |
Based on publicly documented capabilities reviewed in August 2026, we found no other shipping product that combines all of these capabilities in one workflow.
Zeus is not another tool for running more agents. It determines which work can be trusted.
Prices are public list prices checked August 16, 2026. Competitor products are adjacent capability benchmarks, not identical replacements. The totals use one representative paid product per category, count each subscription once, and exclude variable routing fees and model-provider subscriptions that users may pay separately.
