Gumloop vs MindStudio

Gumloop

• Teams that want non-engineers to build their own agents
• Companies that prefer unlimited seats on one shared credit pool
• Agents that answer in Slack or Microsoft Teams

MindStudio

• Non-engineers building custom agents for their own job or team
• Trying many models without opening an account with each provider
• Agencies and consultants who build agents for clients

Gumloop

• There is no free plan: new accounts get a one-time 14-day Pro trial that requires a card and converts to paid unless canceled.
• Pro credits do not roll over, and agents stop at 20,000 credits a month unless pay-as-you-go is switched on.
• Bringing your own model API key removes token costs but raises the orchestration fee from 8% to 16%.
• Role-based access control, SCIM and SAML, audit logs, the admin dashboard and data exports are limited to Enterprise.

MindStudio

• AI model usage is billed on top of every plan, including Free, and is drawn from a prepaid account balance.
• The Free plan is limited to one agent and 1,000 runs a month.
• Individual covers a single builder; adding collaborators means the custom-priced Business plan.
• SSO, audit logs, custom domains and self-hosting are listed only under the Business plan.

Gumloop

Agents on your tools and data

Agents work across more than 300 connectors and shared company knowledge, with a choice of 35+ models or your own model API keys.

Triggers, schedules and API

App triggers and recurring schedules start agents automatically, and a REST API can run them from other systems.

Skills

Agents write reusable playbooks called skills, which can be shared across a team and synced with GitHub.

Slack, Teams and Gmail

Agents can be @mentioned in Slack channels and threads, brought into Microsoft Teams chats and channels, and used to draft and triage mail in Gmail.

Sharing and permissions

An agent built by one person can be shared with an individual, a team or the whole organization at owner, editor, viewer or use-only level.

Usage-based credits

Model tokens, compute and paid tool calls are billed at list price in credits worth $0.005 each, plus an 8% orchestration fee, or 16% when you bring your own model keys.

MindStudio

Visual agent builder

Agents are assembled from blocks in a visual editor, or scaffolded from a plain-language description by Agent Architect and refined by describing the changes you want.

200+ models at cost

A built-in router connects to more than 200 text, image and video models without separate provider accounts and bills usage with no markup. Your own API keys also work.

Several ways to deploy

An agent can be published as a web app with its own interface, a scheduled job, a Chrome extension action, an email-triggered assistant, a webhook or API endpoint, or an MCP server.

Custom code

Workflows can run custom JavaScript or Python cloud functions and install packages, and the builder can generate that code from a description.

Testing and debugging

A debugger, a profiler, evaluations against test suites, side-by-side model comparison and version history are part of the editor.

Spend limits and cost tracking

Spending limits can be set per agent and for the whole workspace, and run costs are tracked for each agent.
