Black Friday: is there a CREAO sale?

Best for agents that run scheduled work in your tools
CREAO builds agents from a chat and runs them on schedules against Gmail, Slack, Linear and the like. It is not a site or app builder, which most of its category is. The free plan is a handful of credits, and the plans climb fast, from $20 to $50, $150 and $1,000 a month.
Who CREAO is for
- Fits if you want a recurring task, like a weekly summary from your inbox, handled by an agent
- Works for people who already live in Slack, Gmail and Linear and want those connected
Who CREAO is not for
- Skip it if you want a website or an app, because it builds agents and automations rather than standalone apps
- Tight if you stay free: 30 one-time credits and 5 a day per team
- Pricey if you outgrow Pro, as the next steps are $50, $150 and $1,000 a month
- Watch out: in a team every member gets the owner's plan and only the owner pays, so one account carries the bill
- Watch out: the prices shown are for monthly billing, and yearly billing is advertised as 20% less
Why CREAO gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro is $20 a month on monthly billing, the middle of what AI app builders charge, and credits beyond the plan cost $0.15 each.
- CFree plan and trial1 member with 30 one-time credits plus 5 a day per team, standard models and one personal connector per agent app. Enough to try it, not to run it.
- CFeaturesCovers agents from chat, schedules, triggers, approval gates, memory and connectors. It builds automations, not standalone apps, so it only partly overlaps its category.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You describe the agent and connect your accounts, which is setup work.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with a real list of connectors including Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Teams, Linear, Asana, Drive and Zoom.

Keep CREAO, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace CREAO you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 89 other AI app builders grade higher. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
What this rests on. CREAO’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
