How Superset’s partial cells read: Source-available under the Elastic License 2.0 — the desktop app is free forever, but it is not OSI open source; macOS is the only tested platform (the Linux x64 AppImage is experimental, Windows is unreleased and the iOS app is “coming soon”); automations are scheduled agent sessions, not DAG pipelines; the $15/user/month team plan is a billing tier rather than shared workspaces.
Prices are each vendor’s own list price to use the tool. Every option here bills your model provider separately — you bring your own keys or subscription.

The operation around the agents: PR review with merge, tickets, DAG pipelines, meetings and calendar, role-gated memory, a code graph, multiplayer — plus a self-hosted server, web and phone clients, and MIT-licensed desktop on all three platforms instead of a source-available Mac-first app.
