Price
No additional Agents API fee; pay for consumed model tokens, tools and applicable sandbox or infrastructure usage
Free / trial
Public beta available to all developers; no separate free-trial allowance announced
Watch-out

Natural real-time voice agents that need interruption handling, long sessions and delegated reasoning or tool use
Price
$0.05 per minute for the front-end voice layer; backend models, tools, telephony and infrastructure are additional
Free / trial
No separate API free trial announced; a time-limited official web demo is available
Watch-out

A score is only useful when the test matches the category.

Video tools are judged differently from code assistants. HubAI keeps the four shared dimensions visible, then adds a job-specific test plan to every comparison.
