Gumloop vs Toolhouse (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Gumloop if

• Fits if you want people who aren't engineers to build their own agents
• Works for teams that would rather pay one flat price than count seats

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try it without a card, as the 14-day trial needs one and then bills you
• Pricey if you're one person, at $37 a month where a team would be splitting the same bill
• Skip it if you need audit logs, access roles, SAML or data exports, which are Enterprise only
• Watch out: credits don't roll over, agents stop at 20,000 unless pay-as-you-go is on, and there's an 8% fee, 16% on your own keys
• Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app, as Gumloop is a web app used through Slack, Teams and Gmail

Pick Toolhouse if

• Fits if you want marketing or sales chores handed off by email
• Works for teams that prefer paying per task over per seat

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need a fixed monthly bill, because cost depends on credits per task
• Not for you if you want to try it free, as no free limits or trial are stated
• Watch out: private cloud, custom data retention and a DPA are limited to Business, which is custom-priced
• Watch out: volume discounts of 20% and 40% only start at 1 million and 10 million credits

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.

Toolhouse

• Cost depends on credits per task, for example 18 credits per email-marketing unit and 96 per image or video unit.
• Volume discounts of 20% at 1 million credits and 40% at 10 million apply automatically.
• The page says free AI usage is included and offers to start free, but does not state free-plan limits or a trial length.
• Private cloud deployment, custom data retention and a DPA are limited to the custom 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.

Toolhouse

Delegate by email or chat

A worker takes a task written in plain language and sends the finished deliverable back, including when your laptop is off.

Marketing tasks

The usage calculator lists email campaigns, social posts, ad campaigns, image and video assets, contact management, and SEO pages.

Sales tasks

Workers generate leads, update a CRM, and prepare offer decks and proposals; HubSpot and Salesforce logos appear on the pricing page.

Model-agnostic

The vendor says workers can use models from several providers and that customer data is not used for training.

MCP and integrations

An MCP server extends workers with other tools, and the page cites over 5,000 integrations.
