Sources for every fact

Each claim about an agent platform links to the page it came from and the date we read it. Prices keep the vendor's own wording on billing period and usage units. Unverifiable claims are left out or marked as not published.

Attribution

Customer results, automation rates and time-saved figures provided by a vendor are labelled as vendor-reported. Independent research is cited by publisher and date.

Governance is part of the review

For agents, the ability to approve, limit and audit an action is as important as the ability to perform it. Every profile states what is and is not documented on these points.

Independence

No platform pays for inclusion, ranking or description, and there are no affiliate links.

AI in our own work

AI tools help with research and drafting. Each claim is checked by a person against its cited source before publication.

Corrections

Confirmed errors are fixed promptly, the page date is updated and the change is logged. Use the contact page to report one.

• Guide · ControlAI agent permissions and approvals: how to let agents act safelyAn agent's permissions are a job description written in advance. The platforms differ less in whether they offer approvals than in where those approvals apply and what record they leave.
• Guide · CapabilitiesWhat AI agents can do for a business today, and what they cannotAgents now answer mail and calls, key orders, chase invoices and prepare reports. They still fail about one task in three on hard benchmarks, which decides where they should start.
• Guide · CostWhat no-code AI agents cost: credits, actions, executions and the monthly billEvery platform meters agent work in its own unit. Converting those units into the cost of one task is the only way to compare them, and the only way to avoid the cost overruns Gartner expects to end many projects.
