Swfte vs Relevance AI (October 2026)
TL;DR: Relevance AI is a no-code platform for agents and multi-agent Workforces, billed in Actions plus pass-through model costs. Swfte Studio is a managed builder for agents and workflows on the same platform as a model gateway, so the choice turns on billing, release process and enterprise identity.
Spec comparison
| Capability | Swfte | Relevance AI | Checked at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category | Visual builder for agents and workflows (Studio), on the same platform as the gateway | No-code platform for building AI agents and multi-agent teams (Workforces), with Tools, Knowledge, evals and approvals, per Relevance AI | Introduction |
| Pricing unit and plans | Free (10 workflows, 5 agents, 2,000 executions per month); Pro $39; Team $99 (3 users included); Enterprise custom | Pro $19 per month annual or $29 monthly; Team $234 per month annual or $349 monthly; Enterprise custom. Annual billing saves 33% over monthly, per Relevance AI | Pricing docs |
| How usage is counted | Executions per month by plan; see the pricing page for model usage terms | Two meters. An Action is a single run of a Tool, counted whether or not it succeeds. Vendor Credits cover the cost of the AI model and are passed through with no markup. Top-ups are $80 per 1,000 Actions and $20 per 10,000 Vendor Credits; plan-included Actions reset at renewal and Vendor Credits roll over while subscribed | Plans and credits |
| Included allowances | Free: 10 workflows, 5 agents and 2,000 executions per month | Pro: 2,500 Actions and $20 of Vendor Credits per month, 2 build users, 1 project, 90-day task history. Team: 7,000 Actions and $70 of Vendor Credits per month, 5 build users, 45 end users, 5 projects. The docs say the Free plan is retired for new sign-ups and existing accounts | Pricing docs |
| Integrations | 100+ tool integrations, plus an API for custom systems | 1,000+ apps on the home page, plus MCP support and custom connectors. Salesforce, Snowflake and Zendesk triggers are restricted to Enterprise per the pricing-change notice | relevanceai.com |
| AI agents and models | Any model reachable through the Connect gateway; agents and multi-agent orchestration in Studio | Agents and Workforces (multi-agent teams) built from Tools and Knowledge. The home page lists Gemini, GPT, Claude, Kimi and GLM models. Connecting your own OpenAI key shows model cost on your own OpenAI bill instead of Vendor Credits | Connect your own OpenAI key |
| MCP | Not listed among Studio’s features on this site; see our MCP gateway guide | An MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other clients access to your agents, tools and knowledge, with per-project OAuth. A separate MCP client connects external MCP servers to your agents | MCP server |
| Human approval | Role-based access and human-approval steps in workflows; configurable data-retention policies are designed for, not shipped | Three modes: Auto Run, Approval Required and Let Agent Decide, plus escalation tools such as Slack or email notifications. Which plans include them is not stated on the page | Approvals and escalations |
| Evaluation and versioning | Testing and evaluation: A/B experiments between chatflow versions and safety policies on agents are built; golden sets and regression runs are in development. Versions with promote and rollback for chatflows and workflows; release channels and gradual rollouts are in development | Evals (simulated conversations, reusable checks, a publish gate and live monitoring) are available on every plan; each Check costs 1 Action. Versions save on every draft save and on publish, restore lands in draft, and versions are kept indefinitely unless a retention policy applies | Evals |
| Hosting | Managed service; customer data at rest in AWS Ireland. Dedicated or private deployment is designed for and scoped as an engagement, not self-serve | Cloud service. Data region is chosen at signup (US N. Virginia, EU London or AU Sydney) and cannot be changed afterwards. A self-hosted edition or dedicated deployment is not verified from the pages we reviewed | Security overview |
| SSO and admin controls | SAML SSO and SCIM are in development | SSO with SAML 2.0 and OIDC is stated for Enterprise customers only; role-based access control is being rolled out to Enterprise customers. SCIM is not mentioned on the SSO page | SSO setup |
| Data use | See the trust centre; a no-training statement is pending confirmation and is not made here | States it does not use your data to train its models or improve its services unless you have a specific partnership agreement with it | Security overview |
| Compliance | No SOC 2 report or ISO 27001 certificate is held and no HIPAA BAA is signed today; a SOC 2 Type I audit is in preparation (see the trust page). The exact posture depends on your use case, jurisdiction and deployment | States it is SOC 2 Type II compliant and compliant with GDPR; encryption is TLS 1.2+ in transit and AES 256 at rest. ISO 27001 and HIPAA are not mentioned on that page | Security overview |
| Export and portability | Not verified for Studio on this page | Agents can be shared as cloneable templates or copied between projects. A file or JSON export of an agent is not mentioned on the sharing page | Share your agent |

Who should pick which
Pick Relevance AI if
- You want to build multi-agent teams (Workforces) without code and have a documented model for how they are built, shared and cloned.
- You need SSO with SAML 2.0 or OIDC today and are on, or will buy, an Enterprise plan; Swfte’s SAML SSO is still in development.
- You want to choose a data region (US, EU or AU) at signup; Swfte stores customer data at rest in AWS Ireland.
- You prefer Vendor Credits that pass model cost through with no markup, or want to connect your own OpenAI key.
- You want evals and approvals on a plan you can start on at $19 per month billed annually.
Pick Swfte if
- You want the builder and the model gateway on one platform, so routing, failover and cost tracking are shared with your workflows.
- You prefer plans measured in executions per month, with a Free tier that includes 10 workflows, 5 agents and 2,000 executions.
- You want A/B experiments between chatflow versions and version rollback, with golden sets, regression runs and release channels in development in the build flow.
- You want agent governance in Nexus next to Studio, and human-approval steps in workflows.
- You accept Swfte’s current gaps: SAML SSO and SCIM are in development, dedicated or private deployment is an engagement and not self-serve, and the integration catalogue is smaller than the 1,000+ apps Relevance AI states.
Our read
Pick Relevance AI when you want Workforces (multi-agent teams) built without code, SSO with SAML 2.0 or OIDC today on an Enterprise plan, a data region chosen at signup, or Vendor Credits that pass model cost through. Pick Swfte Studio when you want execution-based plans with a Free tier, testing and versioned releases with rollbacks, and the Connect gateway on the same platform as the builder. Swfte is earlier on enterprise identity, with SAML SSO and SCIM in development, and dedicated deployment is an engagement rather than self-serve. Some teams run both while they compare.
For the full write-up, including migration steps, see Relevance AI alternatives. Swfte does not offer an import for Relevance AI exports, so a move is a rebuild.
Frequently asked questions
Swfte vs Relevance AI: which is better?
It depends on what you need to control. Relevance AI suits teams that want multi-agent Workforces and documented SSO and data-region options. Swfte Studio suits teams that want testing, versioned releases and the model gateway in one place. Rebuild one real agent in each before you decide.
Is Swfte cheaper than Relevance AI?
We do not claim that. Relevance AI lists Pro at $19 per month billed annually ($29 monthly) with 2,500 Actions and $20 of Vendor Credits, and Team at $234 per month annually ($349 monthly). Swfte Studio lists Free, Pro $39, Team $99 (3 users included) and Enterprise custom, with execution limits per plan. The units differ, so compare on your own workload and check the Swfte pricing page for how model usage is billed.
Which is better for AI agents?
Both build agents without code. Relevance AI documents Agents, Tools and Workforces, evals on every plan, and three approval modes. Studio lists agents and multi-agent orchestration, A/B experiments between chatflow versions and version rollback, with golden sets, regression runs and release channels in development, with Nexus for agent governance. Compare them on the controls you need.
Can I use Swfte and Relevance AI together?
Yes. A common split is to leave a working Workforce where it is and build the next agent in Studio, so you can compare testing, release and cost on your own data. Relevance AI also provides an MCP server and a JavaScript and TypeScript SDK for calling agents from your own code.
Which has more integrations?
Relevance AI states 1,000+ apps on its home page. Studio lists 100+ tool integrations plus an API for custom systems. If broad app coverage is the main need, Relevance AI has the larger catalogue.
Which is better for compliance and SSO?
Relevance AI states SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance, and documents SAML 2.0 and OIDC SSO for Enterprise customers. Swfte does not hold a SOC 2 report or an ISO 27001 certificate and does not sign HIPAA BAAs today; a SOC 2 Type I audit is in preparation, and the trust page has the current status. Its SAML SSO and SCIM are also in development. Ask each vendor for current documents and confirm scope for your use case.
