Viktor vs Adapt

What's the difference between Viktor and Adapt?

Viktor is a finished AI employee you install and start working with. Adapt is a company agent platform you configure, with control over models, keys, infrastructure, and deployment.

Both cover similar ground: company knowledge, connections to business and developer tools, recurring jobs, internal apps, and pull requests. The difference is how much of the agent you own. Viktor makes the decisions for you and bills the work in credits. Adapt hands you the decisions, and bills users, compute, storage, memory, and models separately.

What is Viktor best at?

Viktor is best for teams that want to start delegating business work in Slack or Microsoft Teams this week, without making infrastructure decisions.

It connects to more than 3,200 apps, produces reports, campaigns, dashboards, and internal apps, and opens pull requests. Its memory covers personal preferences, team knowledge, and workflow skills, and it asks for sign-off before money movement, code pushes, and customer emails.

What is Adapt best at?

Adapt is best for technical teams that want their company agent built their way: models routed or on their own keys, detailed governance, and Enterprise deployment in a VPC or on premises.

It connects to tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Snowflake, BigQuery, Stripe, QuickBooks, Zendesk, and GitHub, and works in Slack, the web, email, and iMessage. What it learns is split into knowledge, skills, memory, and live search. Engineering work comes back as tested pull requests, and a human reviews each one.

Templates cover recurring jobs like ad-spend checks, changelogs, and website checks, and developers extend it through APIs, MCP, and a CLI.

How do Viktor and Adapt compare at a glance?

Viktor is ready out of the box with bundled credits. Adapt is configurable, with model choice and self-hosting options.

How much setup does each take, Viktor or Adapt?

Viktor takes an install and a few connections. Adapt's connections are quick too, but the platform asks you to choose a model path, templates, and governance, and someone on your team keeps those choices current.

Adapt connects tools by OAuth or API key without engineering work. The extra effort is in what makes it a platform: routing, budgets, approvals, identity roles, and which product path you choose. An independent review praised its cross-tool context and named setup and connection effort as the main cost.

Viktor's reviewers describe a learning curve in the first week, mostly in learning how to brief it, and extra steps for connecting several accounts of the same app.

Who gets the credit for a commit, Viktor or Adapt?

Adapt has dealt openly with commit attribution for a shared agent and added personal integrations. Viktor puts every code push behind a human sign-off.

An Adapt engineer wrote about coding through Slack and finding commits attributed to the shared agent instead of the person who asked, which Adapt solved with personal integrations. Slack is my IDE. Viktor requires sign-off before code pushes and keeps credentials scoped by admins.

For a team that reviews every pull request, the question to ask both is simple: who appears as the author, and who approved the push.

What do Viktor and Adapt cost?

Viktor is $100 per workspace per month, with model usage included in 40,000 credits. Adapt Managed is $14 per user per month, plus metered compute, storage, memory, and models.

Ten Adapt users cost $140 a month before usage; 25 cost $350. Parked compute is free, and snapshots count as storage for seven days. Viktor's bill doesn't change with headcount, only with how much work its credits pay for.

So should you choose Viktor or Adapt?

Choose Viktor if you want a ready AI employee in Slack or Microsoft Teams with one credit bill. Choose Adapt if your technical team wants to control the models, the governance, and where the agent runs.

Is there a Viktor or Adapt alternative that's ready to use and lets you pick the model?

Yes. Maito is a ready AI teammate like Viktor, runs on the AI provider you choose like Adapt, and costs $149 per workspace with unlimited people.

Install it in Slack, connect a provider and the tools a task needs, and your team can start. Your provider bills model usage directly, and Maito adds no markup to it. The same agent works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok, and Muse.

@Maito board meeting Thursday. Build the metrics pack from Stripe and the warehouse, and find out why the MRR chart on our dashboard doesn't match Stripe.

Metrics pack is in Drive: MRR, net revenue retention, churn, and runway, each with its source query. The dashboard counts paused subscriptions as active, which adds $4,180 to MRR. PR #227 excludes them and adds a test with a paused plan. Checks pass.
