If you're comparing agent platforms, the deciding factors are usually who maintains the agent after launch, how much you review before it acts, and where it's allowed to run.
No multi-agent assembly to maintain
Inputs, tools and outputs on every run
Available for regulated deployments
Platforms built around multi-agent teams and tool configuration reward a dedicated builder. Orqana is built so the person who owns the outcome also owns the agent: change the written brief, and behaviour changes — no rebuild, no redeploy.
Write actions are approval-gated, escalation rules override the agent's own judgement, and every run is logged with its inputs, tools and outputs. That matters most when the agent touches customers or records.
Offline mode runs agents against a local model runtime with no outbound inference calls, and Enterprise deployments can be self-hosted or air-gapped. If data residency is a hard requirement, make it the first thing you test.
Give both platforms one real job and compare corrections in the first fifty runs.
Give both platforms one real job — not a demo — and measure the same four things.
Compare monthly run allowances rather than seat counts — agent work is volume-driven. Starter is free, Pulse is $19.99/mo and Pro is $49.99/mo, each with a published run allowance on the pricing page.
It's a replacement for the outcome, not the architecture. If your setup depends on hand-assembled multi-agent teams and custom tool configuration, expect to re-express that as briefs and escalation rules rather than port it.
The person who owns the work. Behaviour lives in an editable plain-language brief, so changes don't queue behind a builder or a deploy.
Cloud by default, offline mode for local execution with no outbound inference calls, and self-hosted or air-gapped installs on Enterprise. Test that path first if it's a hard requirement.
