Relevance AI is a hosted platform for building specialist AI agents and multi-agent "workforces" that run business tasks across sales, customer success, marketing, HR and support. Work is metered in Actions and Vendor Credits.

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Website | https://relevanceai.com |
| Price | from $29/month billed monthly, $19/month billed annually |
| Free tier | No |

The Free plan is retired and cannot be selected at signup; existing Free organisations keep access. Entry is the paid Pro plan at $29/month month-to-month ($19/month billed annually), which carries 2,500 Actions and $20 Vendor Credits per month.

## What it does

**Writes code** · Partly — Not a coding agent, but the built-in Website Builder agent in Chat generates a complete website from a text description; there is no general source-authoring product.

> Website Builder is a built-in Agent in Chat that generates complete websites from a text prompt or description.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/chat/chat-agents/website-builder · Website Builder page, opening paragraph

**Done-for-you service** · Partly — You buy software, but the vendor also puts an embedded deployment team on the first build and then hands the work back to your own team.

> An embedded deployment team gets you live, then trains your team to build without us.
> — https://relevanceai.com/ · Section "Drive ROI in six weeks or less: with your first team of agents", subheading

## How much it does unattended

**Runs autonomously** · Yes — Agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent connections can be set to Auto Run so actions execute with no human in the loop, with an optional cap on automatic executions.

> In this mode, the agent will execute actions automatically without requiring approval.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/build/workforces/workforce-features/approvals-and-escalations · Setting Up Approval Modes, "Auto Run" subsection

**Multi-agent** · Yes — Workforce is a visual canvas for wiring several specialist agents together, and Workforces are unlimited on every published plan tier.

> Workforce transforms how your agents collaborate by providing a visual canvas where you can design, connect, and monitor teams of specialised agents.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/llms.txt · Documentation index, Workforces entry description

**Agent permissions** · Yes — Each connection carries one of three approval behaviours - Auto Run, Approval Required, or Let Agent Decide - so the autonomy boundary is set per tool, not per product.

> This mode forces the agent to seek explicit approval before executing an action.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/build/workforces/workforce-features/approvals-and-escalations · Setting Up Approval Modes, "Approval Required" subsection

## Which models it runs on

**Claude** · Yes — Anthropic Claude models run through Anthropic's API with no data logging, and agent settings expose Claude-specific thinking type and effort controls.

> Anthropic models are offered through their API, and once again, no data is stored or trained on during this process.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · LLM models section, paragraph on Anthropic models

**GPT** · Yes — The vendor's own model/vendor table lists GPT supplied by OpenAI with no logging and no training, available when you supply no API key of your own.

> | GPT       | OpenAI    | No          | No                | Yes |
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · LLM models section, model/vendor table, GPT row

**Open models** · Yes — Open-weight models are reachable through the OpenRouter integration, and the vendor says it also hosts open-source models such as LLaMA in its own cloud accounts.

> OpenRouter models are a unified access point to a wide variety of open models like Meta's LLaMA family, Google Gemini models, and others.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/integrations/llm-integrations/openrouter · OpenRouter LLM models page, opening line

**Model choice** · Yes — You pick the model per agent, set a fallback model from another provider, and the feature table marks "Bring your own LLM" available on every published tier.

> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · Complete feature comparison, AI management table, "Bring your own LLM" row

## Where you use it

**In your editor** · Partly — There is no in-editor coding assistant; instead the MCP server can be added to Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or Zed to build and run your Relevance agents from the editor.

> The Relevance AI MCP server gives any MCP-compatible AI client direct access to your agents, tools, and knowledge.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/integrations/mcp/mcp-server · MCP server page, opening paragraph above the supported-clients list

**On the command line** · Partly — No first-party CLI of its own, but a published Claude Code plugin bundles the MCP server and skills so agents can be built and managed from a terminal.

> Use the Relevance AI Claude Code plugin to build and manage your agents directly from your terminal.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/integrations/mcp/claude-code · Claude Code plugin page, page subtitle

**In a browser** · Yes — The product is a hosted web application, with a separate Chat interface documented for desktop, mobile and browser use.

> Use AI Agents and Workforces in a chat interface on desktop, mobile, and browser

_Not established: In your pipeline_

## Whose machine it runs on

**Self-hosted** · No — Hosted multi-tenant service only; customer data is logically separated within the vendor's cloud and a single-tenant option is described as still unbuilt.

> Relevance operates on a multi-tenanted architecture where customer data is logically separated ... Single-tenant options are currently in the works
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · Data residency & storage, "Tenant isolation" bullet list

## What it costs to run

**How it meters** · Yes — Two meters plus seats: an Action is one tool run, Vendor Credits are the pass-through model and tool cost, and each plan caps how many build users it carries.

> An Action is a single run of a Tool. Each time a tool runs, it counts as an action — whether it's a simple task like sending one email or running a complex workflow with many steps.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/subscriptions/plans · Understanding Actions, first paragraph

**Free tier** · No — The standing $0 plan has been withdrawn: existing Free organisations keep access but no new signup can choose it, so the cheapest way in is the paid Pro tier.

> The Free plan is retired and closed to new signups. Organizations already on Free keep their existing access and can upgrade at any time.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · Note directly beneath the Pro/Team/Enterprise plan cards

**API access** · Yes — A documented SDK with sk- project API keys for server code plus scoped embed keys for browsers, and agents can additionally be triggered by direct HTTP requests.

> API keys are available in the project settings on the dashboard. They follow the `sk-...` format and grant unrestricted access to every resource in the project.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/sdk/authentication · API key authentication section, first paragraph

**MCP server** · Yes — A hosted MCP server at mcp.relevanceai.com lets another agent list and run your agents, with OAuth access bounded server-side by the caller's project role.

> The Relevance AI MCP server gives any MCP-compatible AI client direct access to your agents, tools, and knowledge.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/integrations/mcp/mcp-server · MCP server page, opening paragraph

**Bring your own key** · Yes — Bringing your own model keys is optional on every plan and bypasses Vendor Credit metering entirely, with the vendor's credits left as a fallback.

> To bypass Vendor Credits entirely, you can bring your own API keys. BYOK is optional on every plan — it lets you skip Vendor Credits while still having them available as a fallback.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/subscriptions/plans · Understanding Vendor Credits, closing paragraph

## Buying it for a team

**A company can buy it** · Yes — Paid subscriptions attach to the Organization rather than a person, and Enterprise buyers can request further organisations under one contract.

> Yes, for Pro and Team plans. Subscriptions are applied at the Organization level, not to individual users or projects.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · FAQs, "Is my subscription applied at an organization level?" answer

**Seat model** · Yes — Seats are split into build users and end users with hard ceilings per tier - two builders on Pro, five builders plus 45 end users on Team, unlimited only on Enterprise.

> | **[Build Users](/docs/admin/project-management/add-members)**                                 | 2         | 5         | Unlimited  |
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · Complete feature comparison, Platform table, Build Users row

**Pooled budget** · Yes — One balance for the whole organisation: everybody shares the plan's Actions and Vendor Credits rather than holding a personal allowance.

> Everyone in the Organization shares the plan's Actions, Vendor Credits, and feature access.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · FAQs, "Is my subscription applied at an organization level?" answer

**Admin controls** · Partly — Per-connection approval gates and spend/usage limits are available broadly, but role-based and fine-grained access control are gated to Enterprise on the vendor's own tier table.

> | **[RBAC](/docs/enterprise/rbac)**                                         | ✗   | ✗    | ✓          |
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · Complete feature comparison, Security & compliance table, RBAC row

**Audit log** · Partly — Audit logging exists but only on Enterprise, where events and execution traces are streamed out over OpenTelemetry; Pro and Team are marked as not having it.

> | **[Audit Logs](/docs/enterprise/streaming-events)**                       | ✗   | ✗    | ✓          |
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · Complete feature comparison, Security & compliance table, Audit Logs row

**Single sign-on** · Partly — SAML 2.0 and OIDC single sign-on is documented but reserved for Enterprise; the two self-serve tiers are marked without it on the vendor's comparison table.

> | **[SSO (SAML)](/docs/enterprise/sso-setup)**                              | ✗   | ✗    | ✓          |
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/get-started/pricing · Complete feature comparison, Security & compliance table, SSO (SAML) row

## What happens to your code

**Opt out of training** · Yes — Nothing to opt out of by default: the vendor states it does not train on customer data absent a specific partnership agreement, and metadata is excluded from training.

> We do not use your data to train our models or improve our services unless you have a specific partnership agreement with us
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · Data ownership and privacy, "You own your data" bullet list

**Data residency** · Yes — Three regions are offered and chosen at signup - N. Virginia, London or Sydney - but the vendor warns the choice is fixed once the organisation exists.

> Data is stored in Australia, the US, or the EU/UK, based on your selection at signup.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · Data residency & storage, "Choose your region" subsection

**Getting out** · Yes — Data exports in CSV, Excel or JSON are available at any time, and unused Vendor Credits roll over indefinitely while the subscription stays active rather than expiring.

> You can export your data at any time in standard formats (CSV, Excel, JSON)
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · Data ownership and privacy, "Data export and deletion" bullet list

**Certifications** · Yes — SOC 2 Type II and GDPR are claimed on every tier with third-party assessment reports offered to Enterprise under NDA; no ISO 27001 certification is claimed anywhere read.

> Relevance AI is SOC2 Type II compliant, and we operate in a multi-region environment.
> — https://relevanceai.com/docs/admin/security · Security certifications and compliance, "SOC2 Type II compliant" subsection

## Correcting this record

Anything marked "Not established" is a question we have not answered — it is not a No. If you represent Relevance AI, or anything here is wrong or out of date, you can supply it with a source: the operations this site accepts from an agent are listed at https://theagentsindex.com/.well-known/agents.json — that catalogue needs no key to read, and each entry states its own auth.

Supplying evidence is free. Nothing that can be bought here changes what a field says, whether a gap is closed, or how this record is scored.
