# Tasklet and Adapt both run AI agents for business work, one as a ready app and one as a platform. Which one should your team pick? And what will each really cost? Source: https://maito.app/blog/tasklet-vs-adapt Date: 2026-10-14 Author: Dmitry Dubovetzky Facts checked: 2026-10-20 Tasklet vs Adapt: Tasklet is a ready workspace of persistent business agents in its own web and Mac app, from $25 per organization. Adapt is a configurable company agent platform with model routing, your own keys, and VPC deployment, at $8 per user plus usage. ## Which is better, Tasklet or Adapt? **Tasklet is better for ready business agents running this week at the lowest price. Adapt is better when a technical team needs model control, deep governance, or its own hosting.** | | Best pick | | ---------------------------------------------- | --------- | | Agents a nontechnical team builds in a day | Tasklet | | One flat bill with models included | Tasklet | | Trying it before paying | Tasklet | | Issues turned into tested pull requests | Adapt | | Your own model keys at no markup | Adapt | | Self-hosting, VPC, SCIM, and SIEM audit export | Adapt | Tasklet is a ready app where you create persistent business agents and pay for credits per organization. Adapt is a platform for running your company's agent, with control over models, governance, and hosting, paid per user plus metered usage. Both are close in what the agents do: connect to business tools, run on schedules and events, build internal apps, and work with GitHub. They differ in how much you own. Tasklet runs everything for you and gives you a model menu per thread. Adapt gives you the parts, including keys, routing, budgets, traces, and deployment options, and expects someone to manage them. This guide is for an operations team that needs inventory and finance checks running, with or without a platform team. An operations owner who can already run the process in Tasklet doesn't need a platform. Tasklet and Adapt prices and certifications were last rechecked on October 20, 2026. ## What is Tasklet best at? **Tasklet is best at quick, always-on business agents that a nontechnical team can create, share, and leave running.** You describe an agent's job, connect its tools, and start threads with it. Agents respond to schedules, webhooks, incoming email, and app events, browse on paid plans, and build instant apps such as trackers and approval forms. Each agent runs in its own isolated environment. [Tasklet](https://tasklet.ai/), [Tasklet trust and security](https://tasklet.ai/learn/trust-security). ## What is Adapt best at? **Adapt is best at a governed company agent across many systems, with model routing or your own keys and Enterprise deployment in a VPC or on premises.** It connects to CRM, warehouse, finance, support, HR, and developer tools, keeps a company brain of knowledge, skills, memory, and live search, and turns issues into tested pull requests. Its Enterprise tier brings SSO, SCIM provisioning, SIEM export, and VPC or on-premises deployment, and its open-source runtime is free to host yourself.

Adapt is configurable and built for governance.** | | Tasklet | Adapt | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | Where you use it | Its web and Mac app | Slack, web, email, iMessage | | Models | Model chosen per thread, inside the credits | Your own keys, or routed through its gateway | | Code changes | GitHub tools and instant apps | Issues to tested pull requests | | Recurring work | Schedules, webhooks, email, and app events | Scheduled jobs and templates | | Price | From $25 per organization | $8 per user plus usage | | Integrations | Gmail, HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, and more | OAuth or API key; APIs, MCP, and a CLI | | Deployment | Tasklet's cloud | Self-hosted or managed; VPC or on-prem on Enterprise | | Data export | Agent ZIP export | Audit export on Enterprise | | Permissions | Sharing an agent shares its threads and connections | Groups, roles, approvals, budgets, traces | | Usage limits | 10,000 credits a month on Starter | Metered compute, memory, and models on top of seats | | Support | Email; live video from $250 a month | Email; SLAs on Enterprise | | Security | SOC 2 compliant; GDPR in progress | SOC 2 Type II and DPA; SSO, SCIM, SIEM on Enterprise | | Setup | Trial credits, no payment; build an agent | Models, connections, identity, and approvals to set | Sources: Tasklet: [workflow](https://tasklet.ai/learn/guide), [access](https://tasklet.ai/learn/teams-faq), [security](https://tasklet.ai/learn/trust-security), [pricing](https://tasklet.ai/pricing). Adapt: [workflow](https://adapt.com/product/overview), [access](https://adapt.com/enterprise), [context](https://adapt.com/product/company-brain), [pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing). ## Which one handles code, Tasklet or Adapt? **Adapt. Its agents take engineering issues to tested pull requests that a person reviews. Tasklet reads what's in GitHub, including history, Actions logs, and pull request reviews, and builds instant apps, but it doesn't ship changes to your product.** Tasklet also has a sandboxed command line, which covers scripts and small internal tools. [Tasklet changelog](https://tasklet.ai/changelog), [Tasklet pricing](https://tasklet.ai/pricing). Adapt's templates include issue-to-pull-request work, changelogs, and website checks. [Adapt agents](https://adapt.com/agents). **Winner: Adapt.** It's the one of the two that changes your codebase. ## How do Tasklet and Adapt bill usage? **Tasklet sells credits that cover models, browsing, and app building. Adapt bills each part separately: users, compute by the hour, memory past the included amount, and models through your own keys or its gateway.** Tasklet's monthly credits expire each cycle, and extra credits bought at $5 per 1,600 last a year. Credit use grows with the model you pick, the size of the context, and how often agents run. [Tasklet credit guide](https://tasklet.ai/learn/quota). Adapt's compute costs $0.045 per vCPU-hour while running. Each seat includes 1,000 memories, and more cost $0.50 per 1,000. Your own model keys carry no markup; the gateway adds 5.5%. [Adapt pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing). **Winner: Tasklet** for a bill you know in advance. **Adapt** for paying the model provider's list price. ## Which one gives you more control, Tasklet or Adapt? **Adapt. Admins set groups, roles, approvals on named actions, budgets, and traces, and Enterprise adds SCIM and SIEM export. Tasklet's control is per agent: members get "can use" or "can manage," and a separate agent keeps a client or task apart.** Tasklet's model is easy for an operations lead to run without training. Adapt's needs someone who owns it, and pays back with a record of every run. [Tasklet teams FAQ](https://tasklet.ai/learn/teams-faq), [Adapt Enterprise](https://adapt.com/enterprise). **Winner: Adapt.** ## Is Tasklet or Adapt more secure? **As of October 2026, managed Adapt includes a SOC 2 Type II report and a standard DPA, and Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, SIEM audit export, and VPC or on-premises deployment. Tasklet is SOC 2 compliant, has GDPR in progress, and isolates each agent in its own environment.** Tasklet keeps third-party models from training on your data, and Adapt doesn't train on it either. Only Adapt can run inside your own network. [Tasklet trust and security](https://tasklet.ai/learn/trust-security), [Adapt pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing), [Adapt Enterprise](https://adapt.com/enterprise). **Winner: Adapt.** The Type II report, SIEM export, and private deployment cover the harder security reviews. ## Which is faster to set up, Tasklet or Adapt? **Tasklet. Sign up with trial credits and no payment, describe an agent, and connect its tools. Adapt asks a technical owner to pick the model path, an acting identity, approval rules, and budgets, and to run the deployment if you host it yourself.** Adapt's templates shorten the first job, and it offers a free design session with one of its engineers. [Tasklet pricing](https://tasklet.ai/pricing), [Adapt agents](https://adapt.com/agents), [Adapt pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing). **Winner: Tasklet.** ## What do Tasklet and Adapt cost? **As of October 2026, Tasklet's Starter plan is $25 a month for the whole organization with 10,000 credits, Pro is $100 for 40,000, and Custom starts at $250, all with unlimited members. Managed Adapt is $8 per user per month plus metered compute, memory, and models; the open-source runtime is free to self-host.** | | Tasklet | Adapt | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | Billing unit | Organization, unlimited members | Each user, plus metered usage | | Monthly price | Starter $25, Pro $100, Custom from $250 | Managed $8 per user; open source free to self-host | | Included | 10,000 credits on Starter, 40,000 on Pro | 1,000 memories per seat | | Leftovers | Monthly credits expire | No credit pool; usage is billed as it runs | | More usage | $5 per 1,600 credits, valid for a year | $0.045 per vCPU-hour; $0.50 per 1,000 extra memories | | Model usage | Inside the credits | Own keys at no markup, or gateway plus 5.5% | | Trying it | Yes: Trial credits, no payment | No: No free tier on Managed; free session with engineer | | Enterprise | Custom from $250 with live video support | Custom: SSO, SCIM, SIEM, VPC, on-premises | For a ten-person operations team, here's the month before extra usage: **Tasklet Pro: $100 per month for the organization** - 40,000 credits that cover models and browsing - Unlimited members and agents - Starter is $25 for 10,000 credits **Adapt Managed: $80 per month for ten users + usage** - 10 × $8 seats - Compute at $0.045 per vCPU-hour while it runs - Models on your own keys, or 5.5% via the gateway Tasklet's bill grows only when the team buys more credits. Adapt's grows with every new person and every hour of compute, and the $80 covers Managed, not an Enterprise VPC deployment. [Tasklet pricing](https://tasklet.ai/pricing), [Adapt pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing). **Winner: Tasklet** for a growing team, since new members cost nothing and models are included. ## How do Tasklet and Adapt handle the same reorder check? **Ask Tasklet and Adapt which warehouses are below their reorder level and draft a replenishment request without placing an order. A and C each need two units; B is fine.** Warehouse A has 8 against a reorder point of 10, B has 20 against 10, C has 3 against 5. In Tasklet, an operations person sets this up in an afternoon. In Adapt, someone also picks the model route and the identity that can read inventory. That's the trade: speed now or control later. ## What carries over between Tasklet and Adapt? **Tasklet exports agents as a ZIP of instructions and configuration; Adapt's instructions and company brain carry over as text. Connections and triggers are set up again.** Recreate approvals before enabling any write, so the new setup can't order stock the old one only drafted. [Tasklet teams FAQ](https://tasklet.ai/learn/teams-faq), [Adapt company brain](https://adapt.com/product/company-brain). ## So should you choose Tasklet or Adapt? **Choose Tasklet if you want ready business agents running this week at the lowest price. Choose Adapt if a technical team needs model control, deep governance, and the option to host the agent itself.** **Choose Tasklet if:** - A nontechnical team will set up the agents - You want unlimited members at a low price - Business automations are the main job **Choose Adapt if:** - You want your own model keys or routing - The agent must run in your VPC or on premises - You need budgets, traces, and audit records - Engineering issues should end in pull requests ## Is there a Tasklet or Adapt alternative that works in Slack and fixes your product too? **Yes. Maito is ready like Tasklet, runs on the AI provider you choose like Adapt, and works with your team in Slack threads, email, and AI assistants, for $149 per workspace with unlimited people.** Recurring jobs run as Loops, business work uses your connected tools, and product fixes come back with checks, QA, and a pull request. Your team reaches it in Slack, by email, and in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok, and Muse; the AI provider bills model usage separately.

Who are they, and why didn't they get our retry email? > > **Maito:** All 23 are monthly plans. 19 were expired cards, 4 were bank declines. > The retry email never sent because the dunning job skips customers whose plan was renamed in May. PR #415 matches plans by ID instead of name and adds a test. Checks pass. > I drafted the retry email for all 23 so it can go out now.
