wsp vs Solo
Solo runs agents on the computer you sit at and no other. wsp runs them there and on Linux computers you own.
| Solo | wsp | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs agents on | The computer you sit at | Computers you own |
| Another computer | No | Yes, over ssh or dialing out |
| What that computer has when the agent starts | One computer, nothing to carry | Your setup, agents signed in |
| Where your keys and sign-ins live | Your computer, never through Solo | Your computers, none on ours |
| Which agents | 8 built in, any CLI | Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor |
| Platforms | macOS, Windows | macOS, Linux |
| Price | Free for 4 projects, then $99/yr | Free |
| Source code | Closed | AGPL-3.0 |
Which to pick.
What Solo does well
Solo runs the agent CLIs already on your computer, eight built in and any other, beside your project's dev processes. Your API keys never pass through Solo, and it works on macOS and Windows.
When wsp fits better
wsp fits when you already have another computer, a server you rent or an old laptop, and want your agents on it signed in, with your MCP servers, CLIs and skills. Solo "does not currently provide remote-host or headless session management".
What wsp does not do yet.
- Windows
- Solo runs on Windows. wsp runs on macOS and Linux.
- More agents
- Solo has 8 agents built in and runs any other CLI. wsp runs threads on four.
