Who is Xirp best for?
Xirp is best for Mac developers who run several AI coding agents, like Claude Code and Codex, and want them in one app.
Running several agents at once
It runs multiple agent sessions in parallel and lets you switch between them without losing your place.
Teams that avoid vendor lock-in
It works with Claude, Gemini CLI and Codex, and you can move between them without losing session context.
Agents that need company context
With Portal Foundations, each session starts with your software catalog, docs from Google Drive and work items from Linear.
Developers who want local sessions
Sessions run on your own Mac against your local files, with no cloud execution.
How much does Xirp cost?
Xirp is free to download and use on a Mac while it is in beta, and pairing it with Spotify's Portal Foundations is free for 60 days, after which pricing is by request.
Xirp's plans page lists three options without prices: Xirp on its own (beta, free download), Xirp with Portal Foundations (beta, trial on request) and Xirp with the full Portal (coming soon). Pricing for the Portal Foundations pairing after its 60-day trial comes from xirp@spotify.com. Plans and current prices are on xirp.spotify.com.
