Which one is for you
Pick Kuse if
- Fits if you turn piles of project files into slides and reports
- Works for small teams, since the team plan has no per-seat price
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: a one-time 1,800 credits, with no stated refill
- Skip it if you use an Intel Mac, as the Mac app is Apple Silicon only, macOS 14 or later
- Watch out: the pricing page named no plan tiers and showed Malaysian ringgit in one render
- Watch out: team pricing starts at $200 a month, and the Advanced Team plan is $500
- Watch out: both desktop apps are in beta
Pick Skywork if
- Fits if you need a slide deck, report or spreadsheet from a short brief
- Works for a long or scheduled job that should run in the cloud without you
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you like clear prices, as web prices sit behind sign-in and the App Store shows three for Basic
- Skip it if you want a Mac desktop app or an iPad app, since the desktop download is for Windows and iOS is iPhone only
- Tight if you're on Basic at busy times, because the shared agent queues at peak load
- Tight if you're staying free, as the free credits aren't published and extra packs are sold to subscribers only
- Watch out: membership credits last one calendar month and bought packs 90 days, and Ultra has no public price
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAKuseFair | 2.8GPASkyworkGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BUS$19.9 a month for 18,000 credits is inside the category's cheaper quarter, which starts at $19.99. The page does not say what a credit buys. | CBasic runs $19.99 to $24.99 a month on the US App Store for 10,000 credits, so it spans the cheapest quarter up into the middle of what agent tools here charge. The store shows three prices for the one plan, web prices sit behind sign-in and Ultra has no public price, so mid-table is as precise as the facts allow. |
| Free plan and trial | CSign-up grants 1,800 credits with no card stated, but the page does not say whether they refill. | CThere is a free account and no card needed, with credits the system grants you and some features held back. Skywork publishes none of the amounts, and extra credit packs are sold to subscribers only. A cap you'll hit, with no way of seeing it coming. |
| Features | CProduces documents, spreadsheets, slides, web pages and media from your files, with Google Drive, Gmail, Notion and Slack links. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are only in progress. | BIt covers the whole job: slides, documents, research reports and spreadsheets from a prompt, plus images, video with multi-track editing and full-stack websites. SkyClaw runs long and scheduled jobs with memory, and VoiceNote transcribes meetings. Genspark and manus cover this ground too, so no A. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. You add files and write requests, and connect your accounts first. | BNo rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: you type what you want and it hands back the deck or the report. Skills and chat-app connections are there if you want them, not hurdles to clear first. On Basic the shared agent queues at peak load, which is the catch. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Mac and Windows apps with Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, Slack and Outlook links. No phone app, and both desktop apps are in beta. | AWeb, a Windows desktop app, iPhone and Android, with connections to Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive and Outlook Calendar. Two gaps: iPhone only on iOS, and Windows only on the desktop. |
| Best for | an AI workspace that makes documents from files | turning a brief into slides, docs and sheets |

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.
