  • Accio Work (via Corpable) Qualified

    There is no free plan among the three annual tiers, but a new desktop account gets a one-off grant of 500 credits, which the vendor's own figures make roughly ten task runs.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-27

  • AgentBridge Yes

    No sales contact exists: one npm install line is the whole acquisition path, the licence is MIT, and the vendor confirms no account or API key is needed for the bridge.

    Source retrieved 2026-10-03

  • Agentix Labs Qualified

    There is a free entry point but it is a human engagement, not self-serve: a free workflow teardown returning a one-page recommendation, obtained by submitting a form rather than by trying any software.

    Source retrieved 2026-10-03

  • AgentsKit.js Yes

    No call and no account: the quickstart runs an agent with a local stub adapter, and the packages install straight from npm.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-09

    A $0 plan runs the open-source runtime at any scale and gives the full control plane against a local AgentOS.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-02

    Source retrieved 2026-10-03

    Source retrieved 2026-09-10

    Source retrieved 2026-10-03

    Source retrieved 2026-09-26

    A standing $0 plan with 300 credits a month and no credit card, but it is a lookup and enrichment tier: campaigns, deliverability tooling and integrations all need a paid plan.

    Source retrieved 2026-09-10

    Source retrieved 2026-09-02

    A standing $0 Free plan exists but carries no bundled credits, so continuous use needs your own provider key; a 7-day Pro trial adds 5,000 credits once.

    14-day self-serve trial with no card; there is no permanent free tier, and startups can apply for a longer free program.

    There is no account, no sales contact and no paid tier: a one-line installer fetches the binary, and a local Ollama model gets you running without any credential at all.

    You can start without paying but not use anything without paying: scoping consultations and the on-site calculators are free, while any delivery work is a paid engagement.

The population

143 listings in this index are Published. This is the population as of 2026-10-03. 143 of the 143 published listings in this index carry a settled answer for “Free to use”. That row asks: Is there a way to use it at no cost? Every listing in the index is settled on this row, so nothing is left out.

Findings

  1. 82 of the 143 settled listings answer “Yes” for “Free to use”. That is 57% of the settled set.

  2. 42 of the 143 settled listings answer “Qualified” for “Free to use”. That is 29% of the settled set.

  3. 19 of the 143 settled listings answer “No” for “Free to use”. That is 13% of the settled set.

1 of those yes answers is Artisan, which still answers yes for “Free to use”. Its listing carries the stored answer and links to the source recorded for it. This is one worked example, not an independent audit of every source in the census.

What we counted, and how

Each figure above is a count over the “Free to use” row of the listing datasheet, taken from the same stored answer the listing page renders. The denominator is the 143 listings whose answer is settled, meaning one of yes, qualified, no, does not apply, not established. On this row that is the whole index, because every listing has a recognised stored answer. Every number here is stored with the read-only query that reproduces it and re-run every sixty seconds against the live corpus, so a figure that stops reproducing surfaces as drift rather than as a stale sentence nobody notices. Our full method covers how a datasheet row is settled in the first place.

Limitations

This counts stored datasheet answers, not independently tested capabilities. A sourced answer can record a vendor statement or our reading of published evidence; this census does not re-fetch those sources. “Not established” means we have not established an answer. That can reflect vendor nondisclosure, blocked evidence, or unfinished research, not a no. An absent or unrecognised answer is excluded rather than treated as a researched finding. The figures are restated when the stored corpus changes; the date above is the count used for this published version, not a new verification of the vendors.
