Agenta vs AgentOps (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Agenta if

• Fits if you want one flat price for the whole team instead of paying per seat
• Works for jobs that repeat, like research briefs, code review and reports

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want the AI included, because model costs go to your own provider
• Pricey if you need SSO or access roles on the cloud, which start at $299 a month
• Tight if three of you want to stay free, as Hobby stops at 2 team members and 5,000 runs a month
• Watch out: Pro includes 10,000 runs a month, then $5 per 10,000 more, and keeps traces for 1 month
• Watch out: running agents on a Claude or ChatGPT subscription works only self-hosted, which means Docker Compose

Pick AgentOps if

• Fits if you build agents in Python or TypeScript and want runs traced and replayed
• Works for a developer who wants LLM spend tracked across 400+ models

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you run real traffic: Basic stops at 5,000 events
• Watch out: Pro is pay as you go and the per-event rate sits behind a pricing calculator
• Not for you if you need self-hosting, custom SSO or SOC-2 listings, which are Enterprise with no published price
• Watch out: the /pricing address returns a 404, so prices are on the home page

Agenta

• AI model costs are not included: you connect your own provider credentials and pay the provider directly.
• The Hobby plan stops running agents after 5,000 runs in a month and allows 2 team members and 20 evaluations a month.
• On Agenta Cloud, SSO and role-based access control start at Business ($299 a month); audit logs and custom domains are Enterprise only.
• Running agents on a Claude or ChatGPT subscription works only on a self-hosted deployment, not on Agenta Cloud.

AgentOps

• The Basic plan stops at 5,000 events.
• Pro is billed pay as you go; the homepage points to a pricing calculator rather than listing the per-event rate.
• Self-hosting, custom SSO and the compliance listings are on the Enterprise plan, which has no published price.
• The /pricing address on the site returns a 404; the prices are on the homepage.

Agenta

Agents built by chatting

You describe the job in chat and refine the agent's instructions and skills as you go. Prebuilt templates cover engineering, support, sales, knowledge and operations.

Automations and triggers

An agent can run on a schedule or start when an event happens in a connected tool, such as a new pull request. Every run is logged with its duration and estimated cost.

Integrations, MCP and skills

Agents work across more than 1,000 integrations and any MCP server you add. Skills are reusable instruction files that can be swapped without rewriting the agent.

Harness and model choice

Three harnesses ship with it: Claude Code, Pi and Codex. Models come from your own provider accounts, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, AWS Bedrock and Azure OpenAI.

Permissions, approvals and a secret vault

You decide which actions run automatically, which wait for approval and which are blocked. Credentials sit in a vault the agent can use but cannot read.

Tracing, evaluations and versions

Each run produces a trace of its model and tool calls, tokens and latency. Agent changes are versioned and can be compared, and evaluations include LLM-as-a-judge.

AgentOps

Agent tracing

LLM calls, tool use and multi-agent interactions are recorded as traces and shown visually in a dashboard.

Time-travel debugging

Past agent runs can be rewound and replayed to a specific point.

Cost and token tracking

Token counts and spend are tracked across agents, with pricing for more than 400 LLMs.

Framework integrations

The docs list integrations with CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain, OpenAI, Anthropic and other frameworks and model providers.

Audit trail

Logs, errors and prompt-injection attempts are kept as a data trail from prototype to production.

Python and TypeScript SDKs

The Python SDK is set up with an install and an init call, and a TypeScript and JavaScript SDK is also available.
