HyperTeams vs Claude Code orchestrators

All three already do "many agents on one screen." The divergence is that the screen belongs to one computer.

The short version

This is the closest neighbour HyperTeams has. All three run agents in parallel and pool the progress on one screen — Conductor gives each agent its own git worktree on your Mac, Claude Squad does the same through tmux, Vibe Kanban through a kanban board. On the control-room rows there is a lot of overlap, and we will not claim to be better there. The divergence is the four rows after it: that screen belongs to one computer, so it has no answer for a second machine, a second person, or "how much did we spend this month." Connect is the part of HyperTeams that answers those.

A single-user terminal tool.
Issue and PR collaboration exists; approving a run does not.

What the control room does, and what Connect does

HyperTeams is two products. Which of them answers each row above is exactly where the boundary sits.

HyperTeams control room

Runs the work on your machine

A program you install with one command. It assigns work per folder, runs jobs in parallel, and keeps going after you close the window. While you work alone, this is all you need.

The rows it answers
  • Where it runs
  • Several jobs at once
  • How far along it is
  • If you close the window
  • At a set time

HyperTeams Connect

Makes it something others rely on, unattended

It starts paying the moment there is a second machine and a second person: pooling machines into one list, filtering work others assign through approval, keeping an audit trail of what happened, and splitting cost per person.

The rows it answers
  • Several machines in one place
  • When someone else assigns work
  • Retracing it later
  • What it cost

When do you move up a rung?

  1. L1 · Observe

    You watch several machines. The moment there is a second one.

  2. L2 · Share

    The team sees what was asked for. The moment you start sharing one password.

  3. L3 · Delegate

    Others assign work and see the results. This is where approval, policy, and audit earn their place.

Where they diverge

One screen, or one machine?

HyperTeams Connect
these orchestrators

The dashboard lists agents inside that Mac, that terminal. A second computer means a second dashboard.

HyperTeams Connect

A control room per machine, and Connect pools all of them into one list — including which machine is awake right now.

Somebody other than you

HyperTeams Connect
these orchestrators

Single-user. No accounts, no roles, no approvals — handing it to a colleague means handing over the computer.

HyperTeams Connect

Accounts and roles, policy per folder and per command, pre-approval per item, and a record of who approved what.

"How much did we spend this month?"

HyperTeams Connect
these orchestrators

It blends into the usage of the account you attached. Who spent what is not in there.

HyperTeams Connect

Cost attaches to each job and is attributed to a person and a team. You can set ceilings.

Which one should you pick?

When to just use an orchestrator

  • When the code loop is the whole job

    Spinning up a worktree, reviewing the PR, merging — that loop is tighter on their side, and HyperTeams does not try to take that seat.

  • Alone, starting for free

    Claude Squad is open source and Conductor is one app on your Mac. No server, no account.

  • When you want to swap engines

    Conductor and Vibe Kanban drive Codex and Cursor alongside Claude Code. The engine menu is simply wider there.

When HyperTeams is the answer

  • When a second computer appears

    HyperTeams Connect

    A dashboard on one Mac cannot see agents on another machine. A control room per machine, all in one list, including which machine is awake.

  • When you bring in a colleague

    HyperTeams Connect

    A single-user tool has no accounts, roles, or approvals, so handing it over means handing over the computer. This is where Connect starts: policy, pre-approval, an audit trail.

  • When you have to answer "how much did we spend?"

    HyperTeams Connect

    Blended into one account's usage, it cannot be split per person. Cost attaches to each job, is attributed, and can be capped.

Running both

  1. 1

    Leave your orchestrator running

    Nothing is removed. Keep the code loop where it is.

  2. 2

    Install the control room on that machine

    One command. Folders and terminals stay on that machine.

  3. 3

    Invite the second person

    This is where Connect starts: a colleague assigns work, only the risky parts stop for approval, and cost splits by person.

Common questions

A layer, not a replacement

Put it on top of what you already run

One command to install. Nothing you use today gets removed or moved — you only add the command screen above it.
