Choose with context

GitGlow and GitKraken solve different shapes of work.

The full comparison names what each product includes, what requires a paid plan, and where the available evidence is incomplete.

01

Local private work stays useful on Free

GitGlow’s everyday local workflow includes precise staging, commits, branches, conflicts, history, blame, and reflog without a GitGlow account.

02

Agent context is connected to the checkout

Observed and managed runs can carry repository, checkout, event, and attributed-file context into the same Changes workflow.

03

GitKraken covers a broader provider ecosystem

GitKraken documents wider hosted-provider support, an embedded terminal, and agent sessions with inline approvals. Product fit depends on the workflow you value.

Platform support

Desktop builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

GitGlow 2.0.1 is runtime-tested on macOS. Windows x64 and Linux x86_64/aarch64 packages are build-validated for version, architecture, payloads, sidecars, and checksums.

Privacy boundary

Repository content stays local.

Local status, diffs, history, paths, previews, and audit records stay on your device. Optional GitHub, agent-provider, billing, and consented analytics connections have separate, explicit data boundaries.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about GitGlow's privacy, compatibility, and pricing.

Local status, diffs, history, repository paths, previews, and audit records stay on your device. If you connect GitHub, GitGlow sends only the GitHub requests needed for installed repositories through the GitGlow API. Tokens never enter the desktop webview or MCP responses.

GitGlow publishes macOS, Windows x64, and Linux x86_64/aarch64 desktop packages. Version 2.0 is runtime-tested on macOS. Windows and Linux packages are build-validated for architecture, version, payloads, sidecars, and checksums without runtime claims.

Free MCP access is read-only. Pro can preview an allow-listed Git or GitHub action, but every MCP-originated write waits for native approval in Agent Observatory while the desktop app is open. GitGlow excludes arbitrary shell or Git commands, destructive cleanup, history editing, force pushes, and PR merges. Release publication is available only through Release Workspace after a fresh guarded preview and explicit final confirmation.

Yes. Free works with a private local clone without an account and includes one active repository or checkout, precise staging, commits, branches, sync, merge, conflict resolution, stashes, tags, topology history, compare, blame, reflog, basic observation, latest Replay, manual Indie Log, analytics, export, and read-only MCP. Pro is €7.99/month or €79/year and adds guarded history editing, concurrent workspaces, managed agents, advanced Observatory review and Replays, GitHub integration, Release Workspace, managed Indie Log, and MCP writes. Existing Plus subscriptions keep their current price.

GitGlow never exposes or stores hidden reasoning. Its encrypted local flight recorder can retain sanitized provider-visible plans and commentary, commands, bounded output and tests, approvals, collaboration, relative paths, statistics, and safe text diff hunks. It excludes raw prompts, full transcripts or final replies, credentials, absolute paths, binary/oversized bodies, and contents or hunks from secret-prone files. Redaction and truncation are always disclosed.

Observed sessions remain owned by their originating Desktop or CLI client. GitGlow monitors supported hook events and independent Git changes, but hides message, approval, and interrupt controls unless the provider exposes a supported channel. Runs launched by GitGlow are Managed and can expose those controls.
