Cassidy

  • +Genuinely no-code; non-technical ops, support, and sales teams can ship workflows without engineering
  • +Strong knowledge-base grounding with continuous sync and source citations reduces hallucination
  • +Model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) with enterprise compliance (SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA)
  • -Business and Enterprise pricing is not public; only the free Starter tier has listed limits
  • -Usage is metered in AI credits, which can make heavy automation cost unpredictable

  • +Holds SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA certifications and is GDPR-compliant per the vendor
  • -Credit-based metering can get expensive for high-frequency or compute-heavy workflows
  • -No self-hosted option: it is a managed SaaS only
