Scape vs Paseo
Paseo calls itself the agentic development environment: run many coding agents at once, on any machine.[1] Here is how it compares with Scape, with a source for every claim about Paseo.
| Feature | Scape | Paseo |
|---|---|---|
| Agents | ||
| Agents | Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode, pi, omp and Kimi Code, on your own subscriptions. | Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, OMP, Cursor, Muse Code and Antigravity, plus 33 more through ACP.[1] |
| Manager agent (Argus) | Argus reads your mission, starts child agents in their own worktrees, checks on them, and keeps a log table. You choose which agent and model its children run on, and can restart it on another agent without losing them. | Agents launch other agents.[3] |
| Agent rooms | Chat rooms where agents and people work one problem together, such as Claude and Codex debating an approach. | No. |
| Messages between sessions | One agent can message or direct another session. | Agents message each other across providers, with handoff, advisor and committee skills.[3] |
| Agent review | Adversarial review: a second agent reviews the first one's diff (/scape-codex-review ships with Scape). | An agent can launch a second agent to review a branch or a workspace's changes without editing files.[4] |
| Watchdogs | Supervisors that spot stuck sessions and auto-answer questions and permission gates (Claude Code). | A Full Access mode auto-approves tool calls.[5] |
| Automation | ||
| Playbooks | Step-by-step automations that chain shell commands, agent prompts, HTTP calls and Scape tools. Lock one and it runs as a fixed script. | Paseo Hub workflows: YAML files in the repo with a trigger and ordered agent steps.[6] |
| Scheduler | A per-project calendar that runs playbooks and messages Argus, once or daily, weekly or monthly, while Scape is open. | Schedules start a new agent on a cron cadence; heartbeats re-prompt an existing agent on a cadence.[7] |
| Triggers | Run a playbook or prompt Argus when a webhook arrives, an integration record changes, a table query matches, or a calendar event happens. You arm each one. | Paseo Hub Pro adds workflows with GitHub, Slack and Discord triggers.[2] |
| Working with people | ||
| Flight Plans | One shared, end-to-end encrypted plan for any number of people and their agents. Every open question is a thread; answers land in the doc as decisions and tasks, and you can hand a task straight to an agent. Share it by link and approve each person who asks to join. | No. |
| Encrypted chat | End-to-end encrypted group and one-to-one rooms. Messages are never stored on a server. | No. |
| Sharing | Drag notes, playbooks and tables into an encrypted chat to share them. | No. |
| Workspace | ||
| Notes | Rich-text notes with version history, embedded charts and full-text search, synced through your iCloud. | No. |
| Tables | SQLite-backed tables your agents and playbooks read and write, viewed as a table, kanban or gantt. | No. |
| Charts | Bar, line, area, scatter, pie and KPI charts built from your tables, embeddable in notes. | No. |
| Custom Apps | Small apps built from a JSON spec, kept in your project. | TypeScript plugins can add screens, sidebar items, workspace panels and other UI that runs on every connected client.[8] |
| Integrations | Jira, GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear, ServiceNow, Bugsnag, Datadog, or any HTTP source, in your sidebar. | Paseo Hub starts agents from GitHub, Slack and Discord activity and can reply there.[9] |
| Dev tools | ||
| Worktrees | A git worktree per session, with a post-create hook you set per repo or globally. | Optional, per agent.[1] |
| Code editor | Monaco, with 60+ languages, a diff view, Vim mode and LSP. | A Files view to browse and edit source, plus a diff view of changes.[10] |
| Browser | A built-in browser your agents can drive: screenshots, clicks, forms and scraping. | Built-in browser tabs in the desktop app that agents can drive (off by default). You see the same tabs and can step in.[11] |
| Dev servers | A live browser preview paired with each server. Cmd+click jumps to the source, and each worktree gets its own port. | Run the dev server in a workspace terminal and open its URL in a built-in browser tab.[10] |
| Spectator mode | Every file an agent edits opens live in the editor, so you can follow along. | No. |
| The basics | ||
| Status | In active development. | Latest release v0.15.0 on 2026-11-03.[5] |
| Where agents run | On your Mac. Claude Code sessions can also run on a saved SSH host. No hosted agents. | A local-first daemon, reachable remotely through Tailscale, a VPN or an optional end-to-end encrypted relay. No telemetry.[3] |
| Platform | macOS. Claude Code sessions can also be driven from the Claude mobile app through Remote Control, opt-in per project. There is no Scape mobile app yet. | A Mac desktop app, iOS, Android, web, and a headless daemon with a CLI.[1] |
| Price | 14-day free trial, no account or card. Then Pro at $9.99 a month or $99 a year; you bring your own agent subscriptions. | The app is free. Paseo Hub can be self-hosted for free, or used on Free (50 agent runs a month) or Pro ($15 per seat a month).[2] |
| Open source | No. | Open source under the Apache License 2.0; third-party components keep their own licences.[12] |

“No” means it isn’t in Paseo’s app or docs: we checked their own site, docs, changelog and repo on , and only count a feature that’s built in and does the same job. If that’s changed, tell us and we’ll update the page.
Why people pick Scape
- Hand an Argus the whole job. Give it the goal and your guardrails. It starts your agents with the routine permissions already granted, checks on them, and only brings you the decisions that are yours to make.
- Solve the problem in front of you. Ask your agents for a Custom App, a playbook or a table that does the job: a morning incident triage, a launch tracker that refreshes itself on a schedule, a report that lands in your notes. Code is only part of the work.
- Let your agents talk to each other. Put Claude and Codex in one room to argue out a fix while you read along, or have one session hand work to another. Any agent, any model, on the subscriptions you already pay for.
- Work with your team, privately. Bring your whole team and everyone's agents into a Flight Plan. Each open question is a thread, the answers land in the doc as decisions and tasks, and a task can go straight to an agent. Talk in end-to-end encrypted rooms: messages aren't stored on a server, and you can run the relay yourself.
- Own your AI setup. Your apps, playbooks and tables live on your Mac, and your notes sync through your own iCloud. Switch the agent or model underneath them whenever you like, and everything you built keeps working.
Where Paseo is stronger
- iOS, Android and web apps.[1]
