How we grade them
| 1.8GPALamaticWeak | 2.6GPAVellumGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DPro is $99 a month, about four times the category's $25 middle, and caps team members at 3. Team is $149. | CMighty is $30 a month, right on the line where the dearest quarter of agent tools here begins, for a Small machine, 10 GiB of storage and a monthly usage allowance whose size the listing never states. Model usage is extra at $1 a credit. Super is $100 and Ultra $200. |
| Free plan and trial | CStarter is free with 3,000 requests a month, 5 flows and 1,000 records. You will reach that quickly. | BBase is free forever with no card, and the MIT runtime runs on your own Mac or Linux box for nothing. But free covers the hosting, not the thinking: every reply, search and image draws on credits at $1 each. Self-host with your own model key and one person could live on it. |
| Features | CFlow builder, hosting, a vector database, API and logs. SSO, SAML and on-prem are Enterprise, and no integrations are listed. | CA knowledge base of facts and preferences it recalls later, skills across Google Workspace, Slack, Notion and GitHub, Allow or Deny prompts on risky actions, computer control and a form-filling Chrome extension. But the docs name two gaps: the Windows app is a dev build, and the phone apps can't run it locally. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. A visual builder means building the flows yourself, and you wire up integrations. | CNo rating on record. The cloud default means nothing to host, but you still connect OAuth integrations, prepay credits and build trust rules before the permission prompts stop interrupting. The docs also call the Windows app a dev build. |

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.
