How we grade them
| 2.8GPARelevance AIGood | 3.2GPARunbearVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPro is $19 a month billed annually, or $29 monthly, about what agents in this category start at. It covers 2,500 Actions and $20 of Vendor Credits a month, with unlimited agents and tools. Run out and extra Actions are $80 per 1,000. Team is a big step up, at $234. | BTeam is $99 a month for 20,000 credits and 5 builders, with 20% off for paying yearly. That's well above what a solo agent costs, but it isn't per seat, so the whole team shares one plan. Spread over five or more people it's about typical. For two, it's dear. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing is free. Relevance AI retired its Free plan for new and existing accounts, and the listing shows no trial, so every organization needs a paid plan from the start. | BNew organizations start on a Free plan for Slack and Microsoft Teams. But the credit allowance isn't published, and agents pause when it runs out, so we can't tell you how far it goes. Some organizations are offered a 14-day Team trial too. |
| Features | AAgents run Tools you assemble from API calls, prompts and custom code, and a canvas joins them into a team with handoffs between them. They start from triggers or schedules, and a Pipedream link reaches 2,000+ services. Invent drafts the whole setup from a process you describe. | AAgents answer mentions and direct messages, grounded in documents synced from Notion, Confluence, Google Drive and SharePoint. They act through MCP servers covering 2,000+ tools, with approvals if you want them, and run on a schedule, a webhook or an app event. An Inbox Agent drafts replies for you to review. |
| Ease of use | BInvent talks a process through with you, then builds the agents, tools and triggers for it. It's still a builder, though, so expect some learning before anything runs. There's no rating on record to go by, so a B. | BFor the team it's as easy as an @mention in a chat they already use. Building an agent is done in a web dashboard: instructions, knowledge sources and tools. There's no rating on record to go by, so a B. |
| Platforms and integrations | AA web app, a desktop app, a Chrome extension and native iPhone and Android apps for chatting with your agents. Integrations cover Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Gmail and LinkedIn, and custom API calls handle the rest. | BIt runs inside Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord, with HubSpot and Zendesk on Business, and is set up in a web dashboard.

Key features
Relevance AI
- Agents and Tools
- Agents complete tasks on their own using Tools, which are assembled in a no-code builder from API calls, LLM prompts and custom code. Both are unlimited on every plan.
- Workforces
- A visual canvas connects specialist agents into a team, with AI-driven handoffs, fixed sequences or conditional logic deciding how work moves between them.
- Invent
- A built-in agent that works through a business process with you, then creates the Agents, Tools, Triggers and Workforces for it and proposes improvements after launch.
- Chat on web and mobile
- Agents and Workforces can be @mentioned in a chat interface at chat.relevanceai.com, in a desktop app, and in native Android and iOS apps.
- Integrations and triggers
- Native integrations ship with ready-made actions and triggers, and a Pipedream connection extends the catalog to 2,000+ services. Custom API calls cover the rest.
- Actions and Vendor Credits
- Plans count Actions, one each time an agent runs a Tool, separately from Vendor Credits, which pass model and tool costs through with no markup.
Runbear
- Named agents in team chat
- Agents such as @Support or @HR answer mentions and direct messages in Slack, Microsoft Teams and Discord. They are shared by the team, with per-user authentication.
- Knowledge sources
- An agent's answers can be grounded in documents synced from Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, Slack, SharePoint and public websites, or in files uploaded directly.
- Tools over MCP
- Agents act and read live data through managed MCP servers covering 2,000+ tools, or through your own MCP server. Tool approvals can require review before an agent uses a tool.
- Triggers
- A configured agent can run without anyone asking: on a schedule, from a webhook, or when an event happens in a connected app such as a new support conversation.
- Inbox Agent
- A personal assistant for each member that watches Slack mentions, Gmail and Google Calendar and prepares draft replies and meeting briefs. It never sends on its own.
- Model choice, API and Web SDK
- Pick Claude, GPT or Gemini per agent, with your own provider key on Business and Enterprise. A REST API and an embeddable chat widget put agents in your own product.
