How we grade them
| 3.2GPAGensparkVery good | 2.4GPAMacaronFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPlus is $19.99 a month only if you pay $239.99 up front; monthly it's $24.99, which is the middle of the pack here. For that you get 10,000 credits, 50 GB and a weekly Free Quota. The next personal step is Pro at $199.99, and Team is $35 a seat. | BClassic is $9.99 a month on the US App Store, under 60% of the category's $19.99 start, but its 60 almonds cover about six project changes. We hold it to B for that. |
| Free plan and trial | C100 credits a day, with a catch: the daily refill stops for good once a lifetime allowance is used up, and the listing can't say how big that allowance is. Free for a while, then not. | CThe app is free with core features, but building or changing a project costs 10 almonds and voice chat is for subscribers. |
| Features | ASuper Agent plans a job and finishes it in its own cloud sandbox with a real browser and filesystem, and separate agents turn out slides, sheets and docs. On top of that, 37 connectors, workflows saved as skills, meeting notes, dictation, and Claw answering you in WhatsApp or Telegram. Few rivals bundle that much. | CChat-built mini projects, memory across chats and voice. Almond-metered, with the 350-almond plan's price unreadable. |
| Ease of use | A4.7 from about 4,300 App Store ratings, above most tools in this category. You type what you want and the agent gets on with it. What you'll have to learn is credits, and which tasks the weekly Free Quota covers. | BNo rating on record, but it is a phone app you install and chat with, after a short personality quiz. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, desktop apps for Mac, Windows and Linux, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with 37 connectors including Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Salesforce and GitHub, and Claw reachable in WhatsApp, Slack or Telegram. That's every device type on the listing. | CiPhone and Android only, with no browser or desktop app described and no integrations. |
| Best for | one agent for research, slides, sheets and docs | a phone agent that builds small life tools |

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.
