# SeeRepo vs CodeViz: CodeViz alternative

## Quick comparison

| Question | SeeRepo | CodeViz |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | ✅ People who direct AI agents and don't read code | ✅ Software teams: PR review, tickets, architecture ([CodeViz](https://www.codeviz.ai)) |
| Where it runs | ✅ In the browser, from a GitHub repo ([get started](/docs/getting-started)) | ✅ A VS Code extension ([CodeViz](https://www.codeviz.ai)) |
| How it draws the code | ✅ Parts of your product: screens, actions, data, services ([modules and parts](/docs/worlds-and-parts)) | ✅ C4 and UML, every element editable and linked to the source ([CodeViz](https://www.codeviz.ai)) |
| Shows which commits your AI agents wrote | ✅ From each agent's signature ([agent directory](/agents)) | ❌ Not mentioned on its site ([CodeViz](https://www.codeviz.ai)) |
| Free plan | ✅ Your first repo, read once ([plans](/pricing)) | ✅ 5 diagrams a month, 1 repository ([pricing](https://codeviz.ai/pricing)) |
| Paid plans | ✅ $19, $49 or $79 a month, by repos and commits, everything on every plan ([plans](/pricing)) | ✅ Pro $19 a month; Teams $50 per seat a month; Enterprise custom ([pricing](https://codeviz.ai/pricing)) |
| Embed in Notion or Confluence | ❌ A public link or an image of the map ([sharing](/docs/public-map-and-sharing)) | ✅ On the Teams plan ([pricing](https://codeviz.ai/pricing)) |

## Choose SeeRepo if

- You don't read code and want to understand what your agents built.
- You want to see what changed this week and which agent did it.
- You'd rather open a link in the browser than install an extension.

## Choose CodeViz if

- You're an engineer who thinks in C4 and UML and works in VS Code.
- You want to edit diagrams, review PRs visually and link work to Jira.
- Your team needs diagrams embedded in Notion or Confluence.

## What SeeRepo does better

- **No code required.** The map speaks in parts of your product, not in classes and containers.
- **It follows your agents** and tells you which commits each one wrote.
- **It's alive on every push:** what changed glows for a week, and [Journey](/docs/metrics) shows when.
- **It tells you what to fix,** with a ready prompt for your agent in [Health](/docs/health).

## What CodeViz does well

- **Standard notation:** C4 at four levels, plus UML, for engineers.
- **Editable diagrams** linked back to the source, inside the editor.
- **Team features:** shared workspaces, version history, Jira, and embeds in Notion and Confluence.

## How each one works

**CodeViz** runs as a VS Code extension. It draws your code as C4 and UML diagrams you can edit, and its paid plans add PR visualization, Jira and team features.

**SeeRepo** asks you to sign in with GitHub and install its read-only GitHub App on the repos you choose. It draws your map in front of you and reads every push after that. See [Connect a repo](/docs/connect-a-repo).

## Common questions

### Do I need VS Code for SeeRepo?

No. SeeRepo runs in the browser and reads your repo from GitHub.

### Can I edit the map?

No. SeeRepo draws the map from your code and keeps it current; you explore it, you don't draw it.

### Which one is cheaper for one person?

CodeViz Pro is $19 a month. SeeRepo also starts at $19 a month, for one repo with everything included, and your first repo is free, read once.
