Agentic Index

AutoGPT vs SuperAGI (2026)

AutoGPT last verified ·SuperAGI last verified

Two open source autonomous agent platforms from the same generation. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.

SuperAGI is an open source autonomous platform with a graphical interface and an agent marketplace, free as open source, with hosted Starter at $45 per user a month and Business at $150. AutoGPT is open source with a visual block based builder, an agent marketplace and a continuous agent runtime, free to self host, with hosted Pro at $50 a month and Max at $320. Both carry a marketplace, and AutoGPT's continuous runtime is the more useful difference when agents need to keep running instead of running once.

On the Agentic Index agent infrastructure ranking, neither AutoGPT nor SuperAGI clears the bar, which asks for all five production contract capabilities documented in full. AutoGPT does not document security and identity governance in full; SuperAGI does not document security and identity governance in full, nor testing, debugging and optimization. 33 of the 186 vendors in the lane clear it.

This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. AutoGPT and SuperAGI are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 1,084 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded

Choose AutoGPT if

  • A continuous agent runtime is what you need for agents that run indefinitely.
  • A visual block based builder suits how your team wants to compose agents.
  • Free self hosting with an optional hosted path gives you both routes.

Choose SuperAGI if

  • An MIT license and a layered memory design matter to you.
  • A graphical interface over autonomous agents is the surface you want.
  • Per seat platform pricing is clearer than subscription plus credits.

  • · Human approval / guardrails

    AutoGPT Platform v0.8.3 narrows what AutoPilot asks about: ordinary work inside its sandbox now runs without asking, while outward commands and unrequested deletes of the user's files still need approval.
