Choose Click if

Product and backend teams that want to embed long-running, tool-using agents in their app without building agent infrastructure.

  • Model-agnostic, so you are not locked to one LLM vendor
  • Full platform on every plan, including the free tier
  • Swappable sandbox, browser and search providers

Look elsewhere if: No-code teams that want a visual agent builder rather than an API (Relevance AI).

Choose Microsoft Power Automate if

Organizations standardized on Microsoft 365 that need governed workflow automation and desktop RPA for legacy apps.

  • Deep native integration with Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint and Dynamics
  • Many Microsoft 365 licences already include standard connector flows
  • Combines API automation and desktop RPA in one platform

Look elsewhere if: Small teams on mostly non-Microsoft SaaS apps who want quick, simple automations (Zapier, Make, n8n).
