# Alternatives to Gumloop > Source: https://theagentsindex.com/gumloop/alternatives (current datasheets, evidence-ranked) Candidates share the baseline category or are previously researched peers. Requirements, preserved strengths, explicit trade-offs and research coverage decide the order; paid tier does not. ## Shortlist ### 1. LangChain Open source agent frameworks plus LangSmith, a hosted platform to trace, evaluate, deploy and govern agents. **Research coverage:** 34/35 criteria **Where it improves on Gumloop:** - [Ships it: yes — LangSmith Deployment runs agents in production with one-click deploy from Studio and a control-plane API; the free Developer plan shows Deployment as N/A, so shipping starts at Plus.](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/studio) - [Done-for-you service: partial — You run the software yourself on every self-serve plan; only Enterprise buyers get LangChain engineers, architectural guidance and team training alongside the product.](https://www.langchain.com/pricing) - [In your pipeline: yes — The vendor documents a GitHub Actions pipeline that runs tests and offline evals on a pull request, then promotes preview deployments to production through the control-plane API.](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/cicd-pipeline-example) **Trade-offs against Gumloop:** - [Bring your own key: partial — You can bring your own provider keys through the gateway on every plan, or buy inference as Gateway Credits, but Engine refuses your keys and bills its model use as compute units.](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/engine) [View LangChain](https://theagentsindex.com/langchain) ### 2. ElevenLabs Agents Hosted platform for building voice and chat agents, with telephony, SDKs and a choice of LLM. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Gumloop:** - [Done-for-you service: partial — Self-serve software you run, but enterprises can buy ElevenLabs Forward Deployed Engineers who scope, build and stabilise the deployment; no price is published.](https://elevenlabs.io/agents/forward-deployed-engineers) - [In your pipeline: yes — Agents deploy from CI with an API key in the environment; the unit of change is the agent configuration, not a pull request in your code.](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/operate/cli) - [Free tier: yes — A permanent $0 plan includes 15 call minutes a month, four concurrent calls, the workflow builder, knowledge base and widget; no sales call.](https://elevenlabs.io/pricing/agents) **Trade-offs against Gumloop:** - [Writes code: partial — ElevenLabs agents do not author code themselves; the Cursor integration lets an agent launch Cursor background agents that do, and needs a paid Cursor plan.](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/customization/integrations/cursor) - [In your editor: no — The vendor enumerates its surfaces as web widgets, mobile apps, phone systems and custom integrations; no editor or IDE extension appears in that list.](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/integrate/overview) [View ElevenLabs Agents](https://theagentsindex.com/elevenlabs-conversational-ai) ### 3. Sim Open-source AI workspace for building, deploying and running agents across 1,000+ integrations. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Gumloop:** - [Reviews code: yes — Review Code mode checks out an existing PR read-only and submits a GitHub review with inline comments.](https://docs.sim.ai/workflows/blocks/pi) - [Self-hosted: yes — Docker Compose and Kubernetes deployments are documented and free; the pricing table nevertheless lists 'Self Hosting' only under Enterprise.](https://docs.sim.ai/introduction) - [Free tier: yes — Free plan, self-serve signup, 1,000 one-time credits, one workspace, no sales call.](https://docs.sim.ai/introduction) **Trade-offs against Gumloop:** - [Writes code: partial — Generates workflow logic, blocks and schemas from a plain-English description, not application source code.](https://www.sim.ai/) - [Opt out of training: partial — No customer-facing training opt-out switch; the vendor commits that Google-API data is never used for generalized model training, and self-hosting keeps data on your own infrastructure.](https://www.sim.ai/privacy) - [Certifications: partial — SOC2 is claimed on the homepage but the plan table lists 'SOC2 Compliance' only in the Enterprise column; the privacy policy addresses GDPR and CCPA. No ISO 27001 claim found.](https://www.sim.ai/) [View Sim](https://theagentsindex.com/sim) ### 4. Agno Python SDK, open-source AgentOS runtime and hosted control plane for building and operating agents. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Gumloop:** - [Reviews code: yes — Code review over a diff is one of the documented coding-agent patterns.](https://docs.agno.com/use-cases/coding-agents) - [In your editor: yes — `agno connect` writes MCP config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex and Cursor so those clients can run your agents.](https://docs.agno.com/cli/connect) - [Self-hosted: yes — The runtime always runs in your own cloud; self-hosting the control plane itself is an Enterprise add-on.](https://www.agno.com/pricing) **Trade-offs against Gumloop:** - [Agent permissions: partial — Runs are unattended unless a tool is marked for approval; then the run pauses in your database until an admin resolves it.](https://docs.agno.com/agent-os/approvals/overview) - [In your pipeline: no — The enumerated serving surfaces are REST, MCP in Claude/ChatGPT and chat apps; no pull-request or CI surface appears.](https://www.agno.com/) - [Pooled budget: partial — There is no metered balance to pool; seats share access to the same connected runtimes and usage inside a connection is unlimited.](https://www.agno.com/pricing) [View Agno](https://theagentsindex.com/agno) ### 5. Glean Enterprise AI platform for building, governing and running agents on permission-aware company context. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Gumloop:** - [Reviews code: yes — The pull request review agent fetches a PR diff, checks it against style guides and posts comments back to GitHub.](https://www.glean.com/agent-library/pull-request-review) - [In your editor: yes — A remote MCP server puts Glean inside Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, JetBrains AI Assistant and Claude Desktop.](https://www.glean.com/platform/api) - [Admin controls: yes — Admins gate model access, agent sharing scope and monthly spend by department, user or agent, and can disable premium models entirely.](https://www.glean.com/platform/cost-controls) **Trade-offs against Gumloop:** - [Ships it: no — It stops at a draft pull request; review and merge stay in the customer's source control.](https://docs.glean.com/administration/assistant/features/code-writer) - [Agent permissions: partial — Write actions require confirmation and are checked before execution; source-system permissions are re-checked on every request, but read work proceeds unattended.](https://www.glean.com/platform/security) - [On the command line: partial — No Glean CLI of its own; a plug-in exposes Glean tools inside terminal coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.](https://docs.glean.com/administration/platform/mcp/glean-plugin) [View Glean](https://theagentsindex.com/glean) ### 6. n8n Workflow automation platform for building and running AI agents on a visual canvas, with code where needed. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Gumloop:** - [In your pipeline: yes — Git source control with workflow diffs gates what reaches production, the n8n CLI page names CI/CD pipeline integration as a fit, and the GitHub Trigger node fires on pull request events.](https://n8n.io/enterprise/) - [Self-hosted: yes — Docker, npm or Helm on your own boxes, air-gapped if required; the free Community edition needs no licence key, and Business or Enterprise features unlock with one.](https://n8n.io/) - [Free tier: yes — 14-day n8n Cloud trial with no card (Business-plan trial does need one), and the self-hosted Community edition is free indefinitely per the Compare editions docs.](https://n8n.io/pricing/) **Trade-offs against Gumloop:** - [Writes code: partial — Authors n8n workflows from a plain-language description; the built-in assistant only gives guidance for the JavaScript or Python you write in a Code node, and it never touches application source.](https://docs.n8n.io/build/ways-of-building-workflows/ai-workflow-builder) - [Reviews code: no — The review feature is a human approving a pinned workflow version against a visual diff (Enterprise, Preview); nothing in the product reviews a diff for you.](https://docs.n8n.io/build/manage-workflows/workflow-reviews) - [Seat model: no — Not sold per seat. Users are unlimited on every plan and the quota is executions, so there is no seat floor or ceiling to negotiate; shared projects are what step up by tier (1, 3, 6, unlimited).](https://n8n.io/pricing/) [View n8n](https://theagentsindex.com/n8n) ## Method Unknown data is never treated as a benefit or a trade-off.
