Description: GitDiagram turns a repo into an architecture diagram in one click. SeeRepo keeps your repo as a living map, with what changed, who changed it and what to fix.

# SeeRepo vs GitDiagram: GitDiagram alternative

## Quick comparison

| Question | SeeRepo | GitDiagram |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | ✅ A map of modules and parts you zoom into ([modules and parts](/docs/worlds-and-parts)) | ✅ An interactive architecture diagram ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |
| Click to reach the code | ✅ A part's sheet links to its files on GitHub ([sheet](/docs/part-sheet)) | ✅ Clicking a component opens its file or folder ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |
| Private repos | ✅ Read-only GitHub App ([connect a repo](/docs/connect-a-repo)) | ✅ With a GitHub token ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |
| Moves with every push | ✅ Every push is read ([heat](/docs/heat-and-recent-changes)) | ❌ Not mentioned in its README ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |
| Shows which commits your AI agents wrote | ✅ From each agent's signature ([agent directory](/agents)) | ❌ Not mentioned in its README ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |
| Export | ✅ An image of your map to share ([sharing](/docs/public-map-and-sharing)) | ✅ PNG or the Mermaid source ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |
| Open source and free | ❌ Plans from $19 a month, first repo free ([plans](/pricing)) | ✅ MIT license, described as free ([GitDiagram](https://github.com/ahmedkhaleel2004/gitdiagram)) |

## Choose SeeRepo if

- You want your own repo kept up to date as your agents push, not a picture of one moment.
- You need to know what changed this week, which agent did it and what's worth fixing.
- You'd like to share a living map that anyone can open.

## Choose GitDiagram if

- You want a quick architecture diagram of any repo, for free, in one step.
- You need the Mermaid source to paste into your own docs.
- You want a short explainer video of a repo (in early access).

## What SeeRepo does better

- **It's alive.** Every push is read, and what changed glows on the map for a week. [Journey](/docs/metrics) shows when each part moved.
- **It goes inside.** Each part opens its own module, down to the files, and its sheet says what it does and what it connects to.
- **It follows your agents** and tells you which commits each one wrote.
- **It tells you what to fix,** with a ready prompt for your agent in [Health](/docs/health).

## What GitDiagram does well

- **One step:** replace "hub" with "diagram" in any GitHub address.
- **Free and open source,** under the MIT license.
- **Exports** a PNG or the Mermaid source, and can make a short narrated video.

## How each one works

**GitDiagram** reads a repository when you ask and draws its architecture as a diagram you can click. For a private repo you give it a GitHub token.

**SeeRepo** asks you to sign in with GitHub and install its read-only GitHub App on the repos you choose. It draws the map once and then reads every push. See [Get started](/docs/getting-started).

## Common questions

### Is SeeRepo just a diagram?

No. The first level looks like a diagram, but each part is a module you can enter, with its sheet, its heat, its commits and its Health tasks.

### Does SeeRepo export Mermaid?

No. It shares a public link to your map or an image of it.

### Which one is cheaper?

GitDiagram is free. SeeRepo's first repo is free, read once; keeping a map alive with every push takes a plan.
