The short answer

Concurrently and DevWebUI are described by their sources in different ways. DevWebUI lets a developer start, stop and restart local dev servers from one dashboard, and see each one's status, CPU, memory and logs [1].

When matching needs, DevWebUI's sources cover a dashboard for starting and watching local servers [1], a small file in each repo that lists the servers to run [1] and a way for AI assistants to control your dev servers through 43 tools [1].

What Concurrently is built for

The facts given here describe Concurrently's installation options only. Output details and other usage options should be checked against its own pages.

The facts given here describe none of a dashboard, pricing or account.

What DevWebUI is built for

DevWebUI is made by the team that publishes this site.

It lets you start, stop and restart your local dev servers from one dashboard, and see each one's status, CPU, memory and logs [1]. One small file per repo lists the servers to run, and processes changed in the GUI are written back to that file [1].

When a port is already taken, it shows which process holds it and can free the port if you ask [1]. You can open any server it manages through one DevWebUI address on your own machine, and live page reloading in your browser keeps working through it [1]. Errors are collected into one log that merges repeats and is kept across restarts, and each file:line link opens in your editor [1].

A setting in the repo file can start the project's Docker services first, such as a database, wait until they are ready and pass their connection settings to your servers [1]. You can also set threshold alert rules and see a history of the alerts that fired [1]. AI assistants can control your dev servers through 43 tools, using the same background service as the dashboard [1].

Pricing and fees

The Concurrently facts given here do not state any price, so a price for it is not published here. Check its own pages if you need a cost or licence figure.

DevWebUI is free, and its core features need no account [1]. It is open source under the MIT License [1]. No paid tier price is stated in its sources.

Setting it up and daily use

The facts here say nothing more about Concurrently's setup or routine use.

On Windows, DevWebUI is installed by downloading devwebui-windows-x64.exe from GitHub Releases [1]. On any operating system, you run bun install and then bun run dev [1]. There is a prebuilt Windows x64 app, other systems run it from source with Bun, and the tray app is Windows-only for now [1]. On Windows, a tray icon keeps DevWebUI running in the background and has Open, Restart and Quit options [1].

Daily, you control servers from the dashboard [1] or from a devwebui command-line tool that lets you control processes without the GUI [1]. If the last shutdown was not clean, the next launch loads your projects but starts nothing automatically [1].

Things to check before you choose

Ask what you need to control: commands, local dev servers, or another type of workflow. DevWebUI's claims describe a dashboard of local dev servers [1].

Check whether you want history and error linking; DevWebUI's claims describe a merged error log with file:line links kept across restarts [1]. Check what data leaves your machine: DevWebUI sends an anonymous install ping with update checks unless you set DEVWEBUI_NO_PING=1 [1]. Check Concurrently's own pages for its data handling, since the facts here do not cover it.

Check access control if others can reach the tool. DevWebUI can be set to ask for a key before other programs can control it [1].

How to choose

If you want several commands run at once, check Concurrently's own pages for the usage details that matter to your workflow.

If you want specific command behavior, check Concurrently's own pages for the switches that match your workflow.

If you want a dashboard for local dev servers with status, CPU, memory and logs, DevWebUI's claims describe that [1].

If you want a small file in your repo that lists the servers to run [1], with Docker services started first [1], DevWebUI's claims describe that.

If you want an AI assistant to control your dev servers, DevWebUI lets AI assistants control them through 43 tools [1].

If you want a free tool with no account for core features, DevWebUI's claims say that [1].
