Plyo vs GitButler, honestly
Both tools were built for the same modern problem: AI agents edit fast, make mistakes in batches, and classic git workflows weren't designed for that. They aim at different people.
| GitButler | Plyo | |
|---|---|---|
| what it is | a desktop git client with an operations log and unlimited undo | a hosted home: versions, undo, publishing, monitoring |
| built for | developers who know git and want it to handle agents better | people who build with AI and don't want to see git at all |
| where your safety net lives | on your machine (plus whatever remote you configure) | off your machine, automatically |
| undo | excellent, oplog-based, in git vocabulary | one click on a plain-English timeline |
| publishing the project | not its job | one click to a live URL, security scan first |
| price | free | free for 3 projects |
Choose GitButler if
You're a developer, or becoming one. Virtual branches, commit management and the oplog are genuinely clever, and if words like "branch" are tools you use rather than words you avoid, it may be the better fit. It stays on your machine, which is a feature for some people and single-point-of-failure for others.
Choose Plyo if
You never want to operate git, you want the project's history to survive your laptop, and "put it online" should be part of the same motion as "keep it safe". Your AI connects with one paste and handles saving, publishing, restoring and backups on your behalf.
Both, eventually
Plyo projects are standard git repositories, so a developer joining your project later can point GitButler (or anything else) at it directly. The two aren't rivals so much as the same idea built for two different owners.
Plyo is the home for AI-built projects — every version saved, one click to undo, one click to publish, plus a safety check, visitor counts and backups. Free to start: 3 projects, no card needed.
