AEQI vs Gumloop
July 18, 2026 · Luca Eich
Choose Gumloop if you run a team and want the people on it — support, ops, sales, recruiting — to build the agents that automate their own repeated tasks.
Choose AEQI if there is no team yet to hand a canvas to, and you want a website today and a team that finds leads and writes the emails for you to approve.
What Gumloop is
Gumloop is a no-code platform where the people inside a company build the agents that automate their own work. Its own line: “understanding a task should be the only prerequisite to automating it.” An employee builds a workflow on a canvas, wires it into 70+ integrations and triggers it by @-mention in Slack, Teams or Gmail. In mid-September 2026 it sold a single Pro plan at $37 a month for 20,000 credits, scaling to $1,840 a month, plus custom Enterprise; its free tier ended in July 2026.

|---|---|---|
| Who it's for | Teams inside an existing company: ops, support, sales, recruiting | First-time and solo founders with no team yet |
| Where it lives | A canvas in Gumloop's app; agents run inside your existing tools | A web app where you talk with your team, and your website at yourname.aeqi.ai |
| Agents and roles | Workflow agents you design per task | Eleven AI agents, one job each: the website, sales, marketing, finance and more |

| Pricing | $37 a month for 20,000 credits, up to $1,840 a month at 1,000,000; Enterprise custom | $120 a month (€100 in Europe) with 5,000 credits a month. Bigger plans at $300 and $750 |
| Trial | 14-day trial on Pro (as of mid-September 2026) | 7 days free, card required, nothing charged today; cancel anytime, no contract |
Gumloop is the better choice when
- You have people on staff and want them to build and own the automations for their own repeated work, without waiting on engineering.
- You need enterprise guardrails today: SOC 2 Type II, VPC deployment, SSO and role-based access, used by companies such as Shopify, Ramp and Instacart.
- Your bottleneck is one recurring job — support triage, CRM upkeep, meeting prep — that the person doing it can automate well.
AEQI is the better choice when
- There is no team yet to hand a canvas to: you are starting the company.
- You want a team already in place, one job each — the website, sales, marketing, finance — rather than building each agent yourself.
- You want every email and post to wait for you to approve, edit or skip it.
- You want the same credit rate on every plan — $24 per 1,000 — whatever the size.
