What is the main difference between aeqi and Naïve?

Naïve is infrastructure-first: a catalog of primitives (formation, KYC, virtual cards, email, apps) that developers and operators assemble into an agent-run business, usually by instructing a CEO agent. aeqi is Company-first: one sentence launches a complete Company — website, staffed departments, work, and memory — with the modular runtime underneath rather than in your face.

How does Naïve's pricing compare to aeqi's?

As of June 2026, Naïve runs $49/month (Starter) and $149/month (Pro) plus $0.50 per credit pay-as-you-go, with a 7-day no-card trial. aeqi runs flat plans from $49 to $490 per month with a 3-day card-required trial. Naïve also charges $249 for US LLC formation; aeqi's wedge is the operating company, not the legal filing.

Does aeqi offer an API and templates like Naïve?

aeqi is built on a composable runtime — every capability is a module, and the platform is MCP-native — but it leads with the assembled Company rather than the parts list. Naïve leads with the parts: 100+ primitives, an SDK, a CLI, and dozens of hustle-business templates.

Who should choose Naïve over aeqi?

If you are a developer who wants to compose an agent business from APIs — or you want a US LLC with virtual cards wired to agents — Naïve is the most complete parts catalog. If you want a working Company in minutes that compounds knowledge as it runs, that is aeqi.

aeqi vs Naïve

Naïve's pitch is aimed at builders: give your agents the ability to run a company.

It is the most infrastructure-shaped product in the category — over a hundred primitives spanning LLC formation ($249 with EIN and registered agent), KYC, platform-issued virtual Visa cards, auto-provisioned email with proper DKIM and SPF, managed Next.js apps, browser automation, and dozens of business templates from cold-email agencies to faceless YouTube channels. You reach it through a CEO-agent chat, a REST API, a CLI, or MCP.

It is YC-backed, growing loudly, and admirably honest — they published a post about burning $450K in one month on free-tier infrastructure. Respect for the transparency.

The difference is what you hold at the end of day one.

On Naïve, you hold capabilities. The primitives are genuinely good, but the company is an exercise left to the operator: you tell the CEO agent what to assemble, approve KYC and payments, connect accounts, set objectives. It rewards people who think in systems and APIs.

On aeqi, you hold a Company. One sentence launches it: a live website on its own domain with analytics, a team of agents staffed into departments — building, marketing, sales, an executive assistant — and work flowing as quests you can read and redirect. The composable runtime is there underneath (everything in aeqi is a module), but you meet the company first and the architecture later.

And aeqi adds the layer no parts catalog provides: memory. Every decision, lesson, and draft compounds into the Company's own knowledge. Naïve gives agents tools; aeqi gives the Company a past — which is what makes week six smarter than week one.

Where Naïve is ahead today, as of June 2026: money-touching infrastructure. Virtual cards, LLC formation, and provisioned outbound email are live there; aeqi's native payment and outreach rails are still rolling out. Their no-card trial is also a gentler front door — aeqi's card-required trial deliberately filters for people starting something real.

The honest verdict: choose Naïve if you want the toolbox and enjoy assembling. Choose aeqi if you want the Company — assembled, working, and remembering — and the toolbox revealed as you grow into it.
