How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BEssentials is $23 a month billed annually, or $29 monthly, with unlimited messages and 2,000 credits. That's right in the middle for this category.

But it's unlimited: no credits, unlimited agents and scheduled runs. The catch is the jump. The browser agent, lead prospecting, image and video generation and deep research need Pro at $149. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for good, but capped at 15 messages a day and 200 credits a month, with the basic tools: Google Workspace, Slack, web search and Airtable. Scheduling and webhooks need Essentials. | CNo free plan. Every new account gets a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, and after that paid plans start at $29 a month. |

There's no rating on record to go by, so a B. | BYou write what you want in plain language, so there are no workflows to wire up. In Slack, agents ask for approval before anything consequential.

Worth knowing
Lutra
- The Free plan is capped at 15 messages a day and 200 credits a month.

Twin

- The browser agent, lead prospecting, media generation and deep research reports are included only from Pro at $149 a month.

Twin
- Agents built from a description
- You describe an outcome in plain language and Twin designs, tests and deploys an agent for it. A library of 257 templates covers common jobs such as lead generation and monitoring.
- Schedules, webhooks and app events
- Agents run on a schedule, when a webhook fires, or when something happens in a connected app, such as a new email in Gmail or a new message in Slack.
- Browser agent
- When a site has no API, the agent works in a browser on an isolated cloud computer and pauses for you at login pages. The pricing page includes it from Pro.
- Twin for Slack
- Agents post scheduled briefings to channels, pick up tasks when @Twin is mentioned, answer in direct messages and ask for approval before consequential actions.
- Interfaces
- Generates a web app in front of an agent, with sign-ups, a managed database and version history, and publishes it as private, restricted or public.
- REST API
- A documented REST API creates agents, triggers runs, inspects events and manages API keys, with an OpenAPI 3.1 schema available.
