ThreadlinesvsParadev
A Paradev (Superset) alternative for Windows and Linux
Paradev, called Superset until October, runs coding agents side by side on the Mac, with automations, cloud workspaces and team plans. Threadlines runs agents side by side on Mac, Windows and Linux. It's free and MIT-licensed, and it puts several agents in one thread.

Questions
Is Paradev the same as Superset?
Yes. Superset renamed itself Paradev in October 2026, and its command-line tool is still called superset.
Is Paradev open source?
Its code is public under the Elastic License 2.0, which isn't an OSI-approved open-source license. Threadlines is MIT-licensed.
Does Paradev run on Windows?
Not yet. Its FAQ lists Windows as planned with no date, and Linux as experimental. Threadlines has a Windows installer and a Linux AppImage today.
We checked these facts about Paradev on October 29, 2026, against Paradev's FAQ, pricing, GitHub repository, agent sessions, automations, remote access, MCP server and cloud workspaces. Something out of date? Open an issue and we'll fix it.
