# Anakin review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Team workspace for planning work and assigning it to coding agents Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Anakin is a workspace from Anakin Labs where product and engineering teams plan issues, projects and sprints and assign work to people or AI coding agents. Agents run on computers the team connects, using their existing Claude Code, Codex or similar plans, each in an isolated worktree. The domain previously carried a no-code AI app builder; the site now describes a development workspace. - **Category:** AI App Builders - **Made by:** Anakin Labs, Inc. (since 2025) - **Website:** https://anakin.ai - **Runs on:** macOS, Windows, Linux - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a tool that builds an app from a prompt, as this is a planning workspace. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, Anakin has a free plan, and paid plans start at $7 per user / month, billed yearly. - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Free for organizations of up to 5 people, with the full product and no seat charge. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 for up to 5 people | The full product for organizations of up to 5 people; guests, agents and computers do not count as people. | | Team | $7 per user / month, billed yearly | The same product for organizations larger than 5 people, with unlimited people. | | Self-hosted | Custom | A private deployment on your own infrastructure; priced through a demo call. | Read from https://anakin.ai/pricing on Nov 13, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Anakin before buying. ## Key features - **Agents as teammates:** Work can be assigned to a person, an agent or a crew, and agents and skills are shared across the team. - **Agile planning:** Issues, projects, sprints, backlog and triage, with board, list, table, dashboard and Gantt views. - **Parallel agent runs:** Each agent can work in its own isolated worktree so parallel changes stay separate until reviewed. - **Import and sync:** The site lists migration or two-way sync with Jira, Linear, Asana, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues and Shortcut. - **Bring your own agents:** Runs go through a connected computer and the Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or other plan the team already pays for. ## Good for - Engineering teams delegating tickets to coding agents - Small teams: free up to 5 people ## Worth knowing - Anakin does not sell model usage; agent runs use your own coding plans or API accounts. - It is a planning and delegation workspace, not a prompt-to-app builder like most of this category. - The site's docs are marked as coming soon, and the pricing page does not show a monthly-billing price for Team. - The download dialog lists macOS, Windows and Linux desktop apps; no iOS or Android app is named. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Anakin is a team workspace for planning work and assigning it to coding agents, free for up to 5 people and $7 a person after that. But it is not a prompt-to-app builder, agent runs use your own coding plans, and the docs are marked coming soon. - **Value for money: A.** Free for up to 5 people and $7 per user a month on yearly billing after that, against project tools like Linear and Jira that charge more. - **Free plan and trial: A.** The full product is free for organisations of up to 5 people, with no seat charge. Guests, agents and computers do not count. - **Features: D.** Agile planning, parallel agent runs, import and sync. It needs coding agents you pay for yourself and does not build apps on its own. - **Ease of use: C.** Desktop apps to install, then agents and plans to connect. No store rating is on record. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Mac, Windows and Linux desktop apps with 8 integrations. No phone app is named. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among AI app builders - Anakin's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 67 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade, and level with 10. - It stands best on free plan and trial (A, above 88 of 89) and worst on features (D, above 0). - Its paid plans start at $7 a month for each person, against a middle price of $20 for the category: 4 of the 82 others that charge start lower. - On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 1.7 out of 4. 5 tools score higher and cost less.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 67 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade. It costs $84 a year. - You could make: Issue tracking, kanban boards and Gantt & timelines: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Jira, Linear and Asana among them.
