Gumloop vs Wordware (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 Wordware if

• Fits if you want to describe a workflow in plain English and run it
• Makes sense if you want to start free and see how far it goes

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the main site now leads with Sauna and links the editor as Wordware v1
• Not for you if you want a price, as the pricing link returns a not-found error
• Watch out: the company's own story, dated October 2025, describes a shift in focus
• Tight if you need limits spelled out, since the free sign-up lists none

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.

Wordware

• The pricing link on the product page returns a not-found error, so no plan prices could be read and none are listed.
• The main wordware.ai site now leads with Sauna, a separate assistant product, and links the original Wordware editor as Wordware v1.
• The company's story page, dated October 2025, describes a shift in focus; check that the editor is still sold before building on it.

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.

Wordware

Prompt-based editor

Everything typed into the editor is a prompt. Typing a slash adds a node, and each flow is both the documentation and the program.

Flow nodes

The docs list Generation, Structured Generation, Loop, If-Else, Code execution, Tool, Ask a Human and other node types for building a flow step by step.

Triggers and actions

Flows can start from a trigger such as a new form response and then act in connected apps, for example posting a message to Slack.

Publish and deploy

A finished flow can be published and called through an API, and flows can call other flows.

Many model providers

The product page example flow mixes Perplexity, Claude and GPT models inside one workflow.
