Kortix vs MuleRun

Kortix

• Teams that want agent configuration versioned in a git repository
• Organizations that need to self-host or deploy in their own cloud
• Engineering-led teams comfortable reviewing agent work as diffs

MuleRun

• Handing off research, reports, slides and data analysis as whole tasks
• Recurring jobs such as daily briefings that should run while you are offline
• Web tasks that need your own logged-in browser sessions

Kortix

• The Free plan is limited to 1 project and 200 sandbox credits a month, and you supply model access yourself.
• Kortix marks up managed model costs by 20% and most tool calls by 50%; with your own API key it charges a flat 10% platform fee instead, waived on Free.
• SAML SSO, SCIM, advanced RBAC and audit logs need Enterprise, and a self-hosted instance needs an Enterprise license to unlock them.
• iPhone, iPad and Android apps are listed as coming soon, and self-hosted instances still run agent sandboxes on an outside provider such as Daytona.

MuleRun

• The Free plan has no monthly credits, only the sign-up and daily bonus credits, and the docs say Scheduled Tasks need Plus or above.
• Team and Enterprise are listed on the pricing page without prices; Enterprise goes through sales.
• The site lists no desktop or mobile app: it runs in the browser, with a Chrome extension and a command-line tool. Its iOS app legal pages are marked archived.
• E-commerce and social media data sources are limited to paid, Team and Enterprise accounts.

Kortix

Company as code

Agents, skills, memory, connector settings and triggers are text files in one git repository, so any change can be searched, diffed and rolled back.

A computer per session

Each session boots its own isolated Linux machine with your repo and tools already on it, and many sessions can run in parallel without affecting one another.

Change requests and tool rules

Session work lands on the main branch as a change request you read as a diff first, and each tool call can be set to allow, ask or block.

Any model, your keys

Pick a model per agent, session or message, using your own API key, a ChatGPT subscription, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint or Kortix's managed gateway.

Connectors

Connects to 3,000+ apps plus MCP servers, OpenAPI, GraphQL and raw HTTP. Connector credentials are brokered server-side and never enter the session's machine.

Channels and automations

Sessions start from the web app, Slack, Microsoft Teams, the CLI or the API, or with nobody present from cron schedules and signed webhooks. Email is in preview.

MuleRun

Chat with visible execution

You describe a task in plain language and the agent shows its plan, tool calls and questions as it works, then returns files you can download, share by link or save as a template.

Computer

A persistent cloud machine with its own disk and workspace that stays online, is backed up daily and can be rolled back. Plus, Super and Pro differ mainly in its cores and memory.

Scheduled Tasks

Recurring prompts run on your Computer hourly, daily, weekly or at a custom interval and deliver results to MuleRun or a connected messaging channel. Requires Plus or above.

Browser Connector

A Chrome extension opens tabs in your local browser so the agent can read pages, fill forms and collect data with your signed-in sessions, which stay on your device.

Pages

The agent can publish static or dynamic sites to a mule.page address with version history and an optional database. Custom domains are for paid plans.

Drive, Knowledge and Datasources

Built-in file storage, a library of reusable skills matched to each task, and data feeds for financial markets, with e-commerce and social sentiment data on paid plans.
