Key functions

Compared with Relevance AI

• Strongest elsewhere: Canada.

Check before buying: Pricing is by quote only. Decide early between cloud, VPC and on-premises operation, since the latter requires your own GPU infrastructure and operations team. Cohere states customers can opt out of model training at any time; confirm the setting in your contract.

Freshservice is IT service management software from Freshworks for service desks of all sizes. Its Freddy AI features suggest replies, summarize tickets, answer employee requests through an AI agent and analyze ticket trends.

Key functions

• Freddy AI Copilot helps agents with reply, summary and resolution suggestions (add-on)
• Freddy AI Agent answers employee requests on its own (Enterprise, 1,200 sessions per year)

• Offers a free trial; we found none for Relevance AI.
• Can store data in the EU; Relevance AI states no EU option.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Relevance AI does not.

Check before buying: Budget for the Copilot add-on at $29 per agent per month, since the plan price does not include it. Choose the EU data center at signup, because an account stays pinned to its region. Review the subprocessor list, which names the AI model providers, and the data processing agreement in the trust center.

Langdock is a Berlin-based AI platform that gives companies chat, configurable agents, workflows and API access to many language models in one EU-hosted workspace, from small teams to organizations with more than 1,000 users.

Key functions

• Agents grounded in uploaded company knowledge for recurring tasks and team workflows
• More than 25 native connectors and MCP support; MCP tools become agent actions with confirmation

Compared with Relevance AI

• Publishes a price (from €25 per user/month); Relevance AI quotes on request.
• Offers a free trial; we found none for Relevance AI.
• Can store data in the EU; Relevance AI states no EU option.
• Headquartered in Germany, Relevance AI in Australia.

Check before buying: Check which models run in the EU and which in global regions, and decide which ones may process personal data. Workflows and API access cost extra, and the governance package becomes paid from January 1, 2027. In Germany, agents that analyze employee data involve the works council. Langdock provides its DPA through the trust center.

Tines is a workflow automation platform for security and IT teams. It connects tools through workflows and adds AI agents, chat copilots and MCP connectivity, running in Tines' cloud, self-hosted or hybrid.

Key functions

• AI agents assist with investigations, coordinate tasks and guide workflows

• MCP servers and clients for controlled system access

Compared with Relevance AI

• Can store data in the EU; Relevance AI states no EU option.
• Headquartered in Ireland, Relevance AI in Australia.
• Names 6 security certificates, Relevance AI 1.
• Different pricing model: freemium instead of contact for pricing.

Check before buying: Paid prices are only available by quote, and AI usage in the free edition is limited to a one-time $50 allowance. Customers select the AWS region for their tenant: the subprocessor page lists the US, the EU, Switzerland, the UK, Japan and Australia, so choose the region before setup. Tines states that AI processing is stateless, without training on or logging of customer data. Define which workflow steps need human approval before AI agents act.

Tray.ai is an integration and automation platform for mid-size and large companies that connects business applications, runs automated processes and adds a no-code builder for AI agents. It suits organizations with an IT or integration team.

Key functions

• Merlin Agent Builder creates AI agents without code, with guardrails and knowledge ingestion
• Agent Gateway for MCP exposes connectors as tools for MCP services and governs access
• AI agents can be deployed across multiple channels

Compared with Relevance AI

• Offers a free trial; we found none for Relevance AI.
• Can store data in the EU; Relevance AI states no EU option.
• Single sign-on as an add-on; at Relevance AI only in higher plans.

Check before buying: There are no public prices, and agent builder, MCP gateway, SSO and regional hosting are add-ons, so ask for a full quote with the modules you need. If you handle EU personal data, choose the EU region and review the public DPA and subprocessor list. Agents that act in HR or customer systems should keep a human approval step for consequential changes.

UiPath is an automation platform that combines software robots (RPA), AI agents and document processing so that IT and operations teams can automate repetitive work across business applications, from small teams on the free plan to large enterprises.

Key functions

• Agents for enterprise automation in the Standard and Enterprise plans
• Document Understanding classifies documents and extracts data at scale
• Autopilot generates test cases, analyzes requirements and creates synthetic test data

Compared with Relevance AI

• Publishes a price (from $25 per month); Relevance AI quotes on request.
• Can store data in the EU; Relevance AI states no EU option.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Relevance AI does not.
• Different pricing model: freemium instead of contact for pricing.

Check before buying: Clarify which plan covers the agents and document processing you need, since both are part of Standard and Enterprise, not Basic. Ask for the list of cloud regions and the data processing agreement if EU data is involved. Plan for human review of consequential agent actions, especially where robots or agents process employee or customer data.

Activepieces is an open-source platform for building automated workflows and AI agents that connect business apps, aimed at operations, IT and business teams that want a self-hostable alternative to proprietary automation services.

Key functions

• AI agents and chat on every plan, including the free plan
• AI steps in flows with selectable models or your own API keys
• More than 280 integrations (pieces) are available as MCP servers for Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf

Compared with Relevance AI

• Publishes a price (from $20 per month); Relevance AI quotes on request.
• Can store data in the EU; Relevance AI states no EU option.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Relevance AI does not.
• Single sign-on in paid plans; at Relevance AI only in higher plans.

Check before buying: Decide between the hosted cloud and self-hosting; running it yourself means your team handles updates, backups and security patches, and enterprise features need a commercial license. In the cloud, SSO starts with the Team plan and SCIM comes with Ultimate. The pricing page says the SOC 2 program is still in progress while the security page mentions a SOC 2 Type 2 audit, so ask for the current report. AI steps are billed per credit, so estimate volumes before large rollouts.
