Agentic Index
Arcade vs Gentoro (2026)
Choose Arcade for authenticated tool calling across a large prebuilt integration catalog, and choose Gentoro to generate secure MCP tools from your own OpenAPI specs and govern them through their lifecycle. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Arcade starts at 25 dollars a month with a free tier, while Gentoro offers a free playground with paid and enterprise plans via sales. Gentoro is the earlier stage vendor with sales gated pricing, so treat evaluation as a scoped pilot with success criteria.
On the Agentic Index agent infrastructure ranking, Arcade clears the bar and Gentoro does not. Arcade documents all five production contract capabilities in full; Gentoro does not document testing, debugging and optimization in full, nor observability and auditability. 34 of the 186 vendors in the lane clear it.
