Brigade alternatives and comparisons

Brigade is an open-source app that gives your company a team of AI teammates, each one the official Claude Code or Codex with a job, its own computer, the Apps you give it and a shared memory. It runs on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for: Brigade never bills you for AI usage. It is free on your own computer, and Brigade Cloud is $99 a month per workspace.

What sets it apart is doing all six of these at once:

  • The whole company: support, marketing, sales and code, in one place.
  • A team in parallel: many teammates at once, each with its own job.
  • Your own AI plans: the official Claude Code and Codex on your Claude or ChatGPT login, so no second AI bill.
  • You stay in control: you choose which App actions wait for your yes, and they all land in one list.
  • Ready to use: hosted, on your phone with push notifications, with your team in the same threads.
  • Open source: MIT, free on your own computer.

Comparisons

  • Brigade vs OpenClaw: An open-source personal assistant you install and run yourself, versus a team of teammates with jobs that runs on your Claude or ChatGPT plan.
  • Brigade vs Paperclip: An open-source framework that organizes agents into a company you govern as a board, versus hosted teammates whose App actions can wait for your yes.
  • Brigade vs Lindy: A hosted agent platform billed in credits, versus open-source teammates that run on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for.
  • Brigade vs Sintra: A bundle of preset AI helpers on monthly credits, versus teammates you shape, that use your own Claude or ChatGPT plan and can wait for your yes.
  • Brigade vs Polsia: An autonomous platform that runs a company overnight for a share of revenue, versus teammates that work with you and keep you in the decisions.
  • Brigade vs Claude Code and Codex alone: Coding agents you run yourself, versus the same Claude Code and Codex run as a team with jobs, Apps, shared memory and one list of decisions.
