Stay free if you only need self-hosted via docker compose and full web management console. Upgrade if you need managed hosting and team collaboration features. Most solo builders can start free.
Why it matters: Development has effectively stalled. The company pivoted and the GitHub repository shows minimal activity since late 2024
Available from: Cloud (SuperAGI Cloud)
Why it matters: Known security vulnerabilities remain unaddressed in the open-source codebase, creating risk for production use
Available from: Cloud (SuperAGI Cloud)
Why it matters: Tool marketplace never reached critical mass. Many categories have limited, outdated, or incompatible contributions
Available from: Cloud (SuperAGI Cloud)
Why it matters: Docker-based deployment with multiple containers (backend, frontend, database, vector store) creates significant setup complexity

Why it matters: Documentation is incomplete for custom tool development, production scaling, and troubleshooting

As of early 2026, no. The company (Transformer Optimus) pivoted to other products. The repository is still available and the software functions, but there are known security issues and no significant updates since late 2024. Evaluate carefully before adopting for new projects.
SuperAGI is a full platform with GUI and scheduling. CrewAI and LangGraph are code-first frameworks. SuperAGI pioneered visual agent management and marketplaces, but CrewAI and LangGraph have larger active communities, faster development, and better documentation. For new projects in 2026, CrewAI or LangGraph are stronger choices.
Docker with at least 4GB RAM. Docker Compose brings up backend server, web frontend, and PostgreSQL. Adding a vector store requires additional configuration. A basic 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM VM handles small deployments.
Yes. Custom tools are Python classes extending BaseTool with a name, description, and execute method. The codebase includes built-in tools as reference implementations. Documentation for custom tool development is sparse.
