Which one is for you
Pick CREAO if
- Fits if you want a recurring task, like a weekly summary from your inbox, handled by an agent
- Works for people who already live in Slack, Gmail and Linear and want those connected
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a website or an app, because it builds agents and automations rather than standalone apps
- Tight if you stay free: 30 one-time credits and 5 a day per team
- Pricey if you outgrow Pro, as the next steps are $50, $150 and $1,000 a month
- Watch out: in a team every member gets the owner's plan and only the owner pays, so one account carries the bill
- Watch out: the prices shown are for monthly billing, and yearly billing is advertised as 20% less
Pick Zite if
- Fits if you need a small internal app with a database and forms
- Works for a team that wants unlimited users on a free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 10 messages a day, 5,000 records and Zite branding
- Watch out: custom domains start at Pro, and unlimited ones need Business at $75
- Watch out: roles, Salesforce and priority support are on Team, with no price shown
- Watch out: only annual prices are shown

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
