Grafizum vs Vibe Kanban
Updated 10 November 2026
Short answer: Vibe Kanban starts and runs coding agents on your machine, one git worktree per task. Grafizum does not run agents; it is the hosted board that agents report to over MCP, across all your projects. Pick Vibe Kanban to launch parallel agents in one repository. Pick Grafizum to keep the overview of everything.
Side by side
| Grafizum | Vibe Kanban | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Hosted dashboard that agents read from and report to | Local kanban tool by BloopAI that orchestrates coding agents |
| Starts agents | No. Agents run in your own terminal or editor | Yes. It launches the agent for each task |
| Where it runs | In the browser, hosted | On your machine, with a browser interface |
| Isolation of work | Not its job | A separate git worktree and branch per task |
| Agents | Any remote MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and others | The coding agents it has executors for, such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Cursor Agent |
| Scope | All your projects in one overview | The repository you are working in |
| Project memory, calendar | Yes | Not its focus |
| Price | Free plan, paid plans from $9 per month | See the Vibe Kanban project for current terms |
When Vibe Kanban is the better choice
- You want one tool that launches several agents in parallel on the same repository.
- You want each attempt in its own worktree so you can compare and merge the results.
- You want everything to stay on your own machine.
When Grafizum is the better choice
- Your agents already run in different terminals, editors or machines, and you want them on one board.
- You work on several projects and want one overview of all of them.
- You want a record of what each agent changed, a review queue and a memory file per project.
- You want to check the state of the work from any browser, without the machine that runs the agents.
Using both
The two do not exclude each other. A runner decides how agents are started; Grafizum records what they did. An agent started locally can still connect to Grafizum with the MCP setup guide and keep the shared board current.
Details about Vibe Kanban are taken from its public documentation and reviews as of November 2026 and can change. Check the project itself before you decide.
Questions
- What is the difference between Grafizum and Vibe Kanban?
- Vibe Kanban is a local tool that starts coding agents for you, each task in its own git worktree. Grafizum is a hosted board that does not start agents: the agents you already run report to it over MCP, across all your projects.
- Is Grafizum an alternative to Vibe Kanban?
- Only partly. If you want to launch and compare parallel agents in one repository, Vibe Kanban is the closer fit. If you want one overview of every project and every agent wherever they run, Grafizum is the closer fit.
- Can I use both?
- Yes. They do different jobs. Agents started by a local runner can still connect to Grafizum over MCP and record their work on the shared board.
