GDAgent vs. Ziva
Ziva rents you AI by the month. GDAgent lets you bring your own.
Ziva is a polished, managed AI assistant for Godot. You pay monthly into its credit balance and work inside its interface. GDAgent is a one-time purchase that runs the real terminal coding agents you already use, inside the editor.
Where GDAgent is stronger
- One-time $9.99. No subscription and no per-message credits.
- Bring your own Claude, Codex or OpenCode. Use a free CLI or the AI you already pay for, instead of buying credits every month.
- The full terminal agent, not a managed harness. The same tools you'd run in a terminal, now in Godot.
- Run several agents at once and arrange them in split-view layouts, with your layout restored next launch.
- No telemetry and no servers of our own.
Where Ziva leads
- Ziva can generate assets like sprites and textures, not just code.
- Ziva supports macOS today. GDAgent is Windows and Linux for now.
- Ziva is fully managed: nothing to set up, and an AI balance is included.
- Ziva packages one-click helpers like test generation, where GDAgent leaves that to the agent in the terminal.
Which to pick
If you want a managed, batteries-included assistant and don't mind a monthly subscription, Ziva is a fair choice. If you already use terminal coding agents and want them inside Godot without a second AI bill, GDAgent is built for you.
