Side by side

Compare two AI models

Pick two models and see what each costs, how well it works and what it's actually for. The scores are my own judgment on a 1–5 scale from using these — not vendor claims and not benchmark results. Your picks stay in the address bar, so you can send the comparison to someone else.

Free and open; useful mainly if you want several agents on one job.

Published benchmark scores: No published score. Herdr isn't a model — it runs several agents side by side, so there's no capability score to publish. The only figures its site quotes are speed and processor use against tmux, which measure the terminal, not the AI. A benchmark for this kind of orchestration now exists (ClawArena-Team, July 2026), but nobody has run Herdr on it, so there is still nothing to quote.
Cost: Free and open source (Apache 2.0); no paid plan published.
Performance: Coordinates several agents on one job instead of running a single assistant.
Use it for: Running more than one agent at once
