Who builds SuperBased.
Apache-2.0 · local-first · latest release v1.32.0SuperBased is an open-source, local-first control plane for AI coding agents. The source is public under the Apache License 2.0.
One Go binary captures the provider's own reported token usage across 40 AI coding tools - cache splits, reasoning, long-context surcharges, with documented accuracy tiers per tool.
From one local dashboard you control the supported sessions: launch 27 AI CLI launchers as terminals tracked live in a Session Cockpit, attach to and take over a session, route models, and enforce egress guardrails.
A 60-second overview of SuperBased, the control plane for AI coding agents and AI applications.
The project and the company
SuperBased is developed and published by Gaja AI Private Limited. We are a small engineering team; the product is open-core, and the code that decides what gets observed, persisted, and (under Teams mode) put on the wire is all public. We are a member of the NVIDIA Inception program.

Where you actually get it
The same prebuilt binary ships through three package channels, version-locked to each release tag:
Install from the Marketplace listing - the extension bundles the matching binary.
SuperBased also runs an MCP server so an AI agent can query its own token history. A browser-capture extension and an M365 Copilot analytics connector ship as previews (the browser extension is load-unpacked only; the M365 connector is operator-attended). Store distribution of those two is still planned.
Editorial & update policy
We hold public copy to a strict honesty standard, because a cost tool that is wrong about cost is worse than useless.
Honest freshness
A page's “last updated” date moves only when the underlying data actually changed - not because a build re-ran. We do not stamp a fresher date to look active.
Verified model pricing
Per-token rates come from the same pricing table the binary bills from (internal/intelligence/cost/pricing.go). A displayed price that says it was “verified” on a date means a real check happened against the provider's own pricing page on that date, with the source noted.
A build-time gate (website/tools/accuracy-check.mjs) fails the deploy if any price shown on the site drifts from that canonical table.
Feature status is precise
We say available for shipped-and-working, preview for shipped-but-not-store-distributed, and planned for not-yet-built - per feature, never blurred.
No invented authority
Content is attributed to the publishing organization; we do not fabricate individual expert bylines, and we publish no ratings or reviews we did not receive.
Privacy & security
The default install makes zero outbound network calls of its own and stores everything in one local SQLite file. The full posture - including the hash-by-default, node-opt-in Teams wire - is on the security page.
