Check the specific offering. A familiar brand can sell more than one kind of product, and a GitHub repository does not automatically mean a tool is free or easy to run.
- Use an app
- Work in a browser or installed interface. Check account, upload, export and plan limits before choosing.
- Connect a workflow
- Link accounts or add an MCP connector to a compatible assistant. Check what it can read, send and change.
- Build or self-host
- Install software, supply model access or write code. Include hosting, API usage and maintenance in your comparison.
Useful wherever you work.
These guides are in English for readers worldwide. Confirm availability in your country, the language you use, local date conventions and the currency a provider quotes. ASE's independent index covers agents, connectors and related software; it is not an exhaustive catalogue of every AI app.
