Pros and cons
Pros
Pricing
- Free tierYes
- LicenceMIT
- Self-hostYes, source is public
- Public price listNot published
Superpowers does not publish a web price list. For consumer apps that usually means pricing appears inside the product; for enterprise tools it means talking to sales. Why we do this
Visit github.comTrends
Price points are recorded when a price moves, not on a schedule, so a flat run means the price held. Release cadence comes from GitHub releases. A series appears only once we have watched it for long enough to have more than one observation.
User reviews
No one has reviewed Superpowers here yet. Reviews are moderated before they appear, and our own score is editorial and separate from user ratings, though once reviews land they do lift it.
