Productivity agents at a glance
The 13 productivity agents we track, listed alphabetically. 9 of the 13 publish a free tier. Prices are the vendor’s own published starting figure and change without notice — check the vendor’s pricing page before committing.
The bar under a price compares that plan with the dearest monthly plan in this table (6 of the 13 rows are flat monthly prices). Custom, per-seat, per-usage and annual prices are not on the same scale, so they carry no bar — a missing bar does not mean cheaper.

Zapier AI
$19.99/mo (annual)
Zapier is the connection layer most teams skip and then wish they had bought first: when something happens in one app, a Zap does the next step in another, and the AI additions mean you can now describe that workflow in plain English, drop an AI step into the middle of it, or hand a whole task to a Zapier Agent. The pricing page (read 16 October 2026) says it connects 9,000+ apps and prices by tasks. The Free plan has 100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps and one seat; Professional starts at $19.99 a month on annual billing or $29.99 month to month for 750 tasks, rising by task tier; Team starts at $69 a month annual for 2,000 tasks; Enterprise is quoted, and annual billing is stated as 33% off. The AI pieces are metered differently: Copilot has a daily message limit on Free and is unlimited on paid plans, AI by Zapier is not included on Free and consumes tasks when it runs, and Agents have basic access on every plan with 400 activities a month on Free and 1,500 on Pro, billed as a separate unit from tasks. That is the limit to understand before you commit: a looping Zap or an AI step on every record can burn through a task tier faster than the headline price suggests. Make, also on this site, is the visual alternative with a lower entry price and credit metering; n8n is the self-hosted one. Verdict: still the default for non-technical teams who want automation to just work; check your monthly task count before choosing a tier.

Otter AI
productivity
Professionals with heavy meeting schedules
Glean
productivity
Large organisations with knowledge spread across many systems and an IT and security team to deploy it. Not for small or mid-sized teams, anyone who needs a price before a sales call, or companies whose sharing permissions are not yet in order.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
productivity
Organisations whose documents, mail and meetings already run on Microsoft 365 and whose sharing permissions are under control. Not for teams working mainly in Google Workspace or Notion, or for anyone whose needs are met by the free web-grounded Copilot Chat.
Make
productivity
Technical users, ops people and agencies who want complex automations they can see and debug. Not for someone who wants a two-step automation set up in a minute, where Zapier is faster, or for teams that need the server under their own control, where n8n fits.
Mem
productivity
Solo knowledge workers, researchers and writers who capture a lot and hate organising it. Not for teams that need shared structured databases, where Notion AI fits, or for very heavy note-takers, whom the per-message tiers price out.
Reclaim AI
productivity
Busy professionals, team scheduling
n8n
productivity
Developers and technical operations teams running many multi-step workflows who want control over data and cost. Not for non-technical users who want a hosted tool that just works, or for anyone unwilling to maintain a server if they self-host.
Notion AI: Workspace Q&A
productivity
Teams whose docs, wiki and projects already live in Notion and are kept up to date. Not for organisations whose knowledge sits mainly in other systems, or for anyone who wants the AI without moving every member to the Business plan.
Fireflies.ai
productivity
Sales teams, consultants, recruiters and managers with a heavy meeting load who need calls searchable afterwards. Not for teams whose external guests object to a recording bot, or for anyone who needs signed-off minutes without human review.
Speechify
productivity
Students, professionals with heavy reading loads, commuters and anyone who takes in text better by listening. Not for producing commercial voice-overs, where a voice-generation tool fits, or for anyone satisfied with their device's built-in read-aloud.
Loom AI
productivity
Remote teams, product managers, customer success
Squad
productivity
Founders and small-business operators who already pay for a top-tier AI plan and want several AI teammates working through recurring jobs with approvals. Not for anyone without an AI subscription, or for someone who only wants a chat assistant.
