| Primary operating surface | Lives in Slack or Microsoft Teams, so requests, context, approvals, results, and follow-up remain visible to the team. Edge | Centers work in a dedicated cloud workspace with files, apps, conversations, agents, and a desktop-like execution environment. Tradeoff |
| Agent runtime | Uses connected tools and browser fallback to complete work, but does not give each agent a durable file workspace with on-demand Linux execution. Tradeoff | Keeps workspace files and agent state across sessions, while providing live browser runs and a sandbox terminal whose session state resets between tasks. Edge |
| Team delegation | One shared teammate can be mentioned in existing channels and private chats without asking users to choose an agent first. Edge | Supports team workspaces, roles, multiple agents, a native inbox, and access through Slack, Telegram, or Discord commands. Tradeoff |
| Repeatable work | Learns shared formats and can run recurring team workflows while keeping exceptions and approvals in chat. Tie | Turns processes into versioned workflows, supports scheduled jobs, and keeps automation history in its workspace. Tie |
| Control and approvals | External sends, writes, posts, and spending wait for an inline approval in Slack or Microsoft Teams. Edge | Lets users inspect and interrupt work, but its terms state that it does not require approval before every external side effect. Tradeoff |
| Public pricing | $100 in free credits, then $50 per month for the whole workspace. Tie | Lite is $9 monthly, Starter is $59, and Pro is $299. Annual pricing is $7.50, $39, and $199 per month. Enterprise is sales-led. Tie |
