Choose Glasshand if

Developers and small teams whose AI agents need a real iPhone or Mac for app-only tasks or native app testing.

  • Real hardware passes app and account checks that emulators often fail
  • Works with any agent that can make HTTPS calls, no install needed
  • Clear flat monthly price per device in USD

Look elsewhere if: Workflows a website can handle, or teams needing Android or short-term device access (Lexmount Browser, Appcircle).

Choose NativeShip if

API-first SaaS startups that want native listings on n8n and other automation platforms without building each integration by hand.

  • One-time pricing instead of a subscription
  • One API definition covers four automation platforms
  • Plan credits never expire

Look elsewhere if: Companies that need integrations embedded inside their own product (Prismatic, Paragon).
