What our research says

Buda AI

The per-agent model is the honest part of this: you pay for each worker you actually run rather than a flat platform fee, and every agent gets a real machine with a browser and shell instead of a chat box. The credit meter on top means the monthly figure is a floor, not a bill. Company details are thin.

Pros

Each agent gets its own sandboxed cloud machine with browser, terminal and Git
Persistent shared Drive means agents can hand files to each other
A skill marketplace supplies capabilities without custom code
Free tier runs two agents at 300 credits a day with no card

Cons

Costs stack per agent, so a team of five agents is five subscriptions
Daily credit caps sit on top of the monthly fee
The REST API draws on the same credit balance, so app traffic and agent work compete for one meter
Neither a country nor a registered entity name is published

Relevance AI

A credible no-code agent builder with a wide library of ready-made sales and ops agents, but the free tier is gone and the self-serve prices live on a docs page while the marketing site pushes everyone to a sales call. The two-meter billing — Actions plus pass-through Vendor Credits — makes running cost hard to forecast, and the $19 annual Pro plan only covers one project and two builders.

Pros

Agents get tools, knowledge and schedules without any code
Large library of pre-built agents for sales, support, HR and ops that can be customised
Model cost is passed through on vendor credits rather than marked up
Agents can be grouped into teams that hand work between each other

Cons

No free plan any more, only paid Pro and Team or an Enterprise quote
Two simultaneous meters make budgeting awkward and surprises likely
Top-up rates are steep at $80 per 1,000 actions
Pro is limited to one project and two build users, so a second workspace means the $349 Team plan
