What Makes Hopp a Great Tuple Alternative for Pair Programming?#
Hopp is a remote pair programming tool crafted to deliver the smooth, low-latency experience developers need to collaborate effectively, no matter where they are. Whether you're debugging, brainstorming, or coding together, Hopp ensures seamless collaboration that feels as natural as working side-by-side.
As of late August, we are also open-source on GitHub! This aligns with out goals to democratize access to high-quality remote pair programming. We want Hopp to empower teams with the flexibility to self-host for free or significantly reduce costs by leveraging their own LiveKit API keys (BYOK).
What are the Best Alternatives to Tuple in 2025?#
Tuple has been a leader in the remote pair programming space since 2019, offering a feature-rich platform that has built a strong community of developers. However, its premium pricing at $30 per user per month makes it a less viable option for startups, small teams, or budget-conscious organizations.

Hopp enters the scene with a bold vision: to become the open-source alternative to Tuple. Designed for accessibility, Hopp ensures teams of all sizes and budgets can enjoy a high-quality pairing experience.
You do not need to be a FAANG developer to have access to a smooth remote pair programming experience.
