When should you choose Arcade?

You already have an agent and a framework, and secure tool access is the missing piece. Integration breadth is the requirement and seven thousand is the number that matters. You want the auth layer decoupled so it survives changing your agent framework later.

When should you choose Toolhouse?

You want an agent running today without assembling a stack to get there. Built in RAG matters: Toolhouse documents full knowledge grounding where Arcade documents none. Ten dollars a month with a free tier is the entire budget conversation.

Arcade vs Toolhouse (2026)

These look similar in a search result and are not the same product.

Arcade is a layer: authenticated tool calling and an MCP runtime that hands your agent secure access to more than seven thousand integrations, and nothing above that. Toolhouse is a runtime that builds and runs whole agents from a prompt, with RAG and tools included and one link MCP connectivity, from free to 10 dollars a month. If you already have an agent, Arcade fills the auth gap; if you do not, Toolhouse gives you one.
