Control Center vs T3 Code.
T3 Code and Control Center both run coding agents in isolated worktrees, offer desktop and phone clients, and review and merge pull requests. T3 Code stays close to the coding thread and supports more external agent CLIs; Control Center adds the operation around that work: tickets, DAG pipelines, meetings, calendar and role-based human collaboration.

✓ yes · ≈ partial — hover or focus a ≈ for the reason · — not offered.
For PRs, ✓ means an inbox for any open PR in a linked repo, with review and merge in app; no agent chat or worktree is required. ≈ means the flow is workspace-bound, early-beta or otherwise narrower — not necessarily restricted to agent-created PRs.

About T3 Code: The independent Pull requests page reviews and merges existing project PRs, and a PR can be linked to a chat thread afterward; reviews are not limited to agent-created PRs. The full diff and comments are on desktop and web, while phone apps show PR status without the Code-tab diff.
Prices are each vendor’s published starting point for the tool. Model access may need your own provider key or subscription, or may be included in a paid plan; compare those costs separately.
Where Control Center pulls ahead
Tickets with Linear sync, resumable DAG pipelines, meeting capture and calendar, memory and a code graph, plus human teams with roles and presence. T3 Code is a capable self-hosted coding surface with a headless CLI server and remote clients, but does not claim those wider operational workflows.
Where T3 Code pulls ahead
You want a free, multi-harness coding workspace with remote access, a phone app and integrated pull-request review, without a larger developer-operations suite.
