Agentic Index
Definite vs Scoop Analytics (2026)
Definite and Scoop Analytics both run agents over company data, and one is a whole data stack while the other is a management routine. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Definite bundles more than 500 connectors, a lakehouse, a governed semantic layer, dashboards and data apps with Fi, its analyst agent, and scheduled monitoring agents, reachable through an API, CLI and MCP server; a free plan covers two users and five credits a month, and Standard is 250 dollars a month with 100 credits. Scoop screens every location of a multi location business each cycle and briefs managers with action plans from the company's own playbook, priced per location per month from 125 dollars, billed annually. On the grid Definite is Full on its API, integrations, memory, model choice, observability and security where Scoop is None or Partial; Scoop is Full on testing and Partial on packaged agents where Definite is None. Choose Definite to stand up a data platform with an agent on top; choose Scoop to run location performance on a playbook.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Definite and Scoop Analytics 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 955 researched vendors.

| Action & orchestration | ||
|
Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
DefiniteIntegrations & Tool Calling Definite ships 500+ native connectors (Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Postgres, Zendesk, Shopify, Snowflake, BigQuery and more), and its agents act outside the product. They post to Slack, POST to any HTTP endpoint as a generic webhook and run SQL writes, while automation steps run Python with integration access and send email.

|
Scoop AnalyticsIntegrations & Tool Calling Connections reach existing BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker and 100+ more), warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), POS and labor systems, with Scoop layered over them. Scoop never writes to customer systems, so the connections are read access. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/securityread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Workflow Orchestration Ability to sequence, branch, retry, route, and combine deterministic workflow nodes with autonomous agent steps. |
||
|
DefiniteWorkflow Orchestration Automations are ordered pipelines the customer defines, with steps for SQL, Python, syncs, exports, Slack, email, assertions, LLM decisions and Fi agents, conditional skip guards (when clauses), and run after dependencies that fan out from one pipeline to several. Each agent is limited to one probe and one action. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/automationsread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Scoop AnalyticsWorkflow Orchestration Each cycle Scoop scans every location, investigates flagged anomalies with dozens of investigations per location, and turns findings into action plans through the customer's codified operating playbook. The playbook's versioned rules are written by the customer in plain English and set how findings map to actions. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/product/how-it-worksread 2026-09-28 |

|
Triggers & Channel Coverage How agents wake up and where they work: schedules, webhooks, message events, CRM events, inbox events, chat, email, voice, and collaboration tools. |
||
|
DefiniteTriggers & Channel Coverage Pipelines and agents run on cron schedules with time zones, agents also fire when an automation run on a named table or pipeline succeeds, and runs can be enqueued through the API or CLI. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/agentsread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Scoop AnalyticsTriggers & Channel Coverage Scoop screens every location every cycle against benchmarks and history, investigates what it flags and sends each manager a tailored briefing, so work starts on the cycle, not on a request. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/product/how-it-worksread 2026-09-28 |
||
| Knowledge & context | ||
|
Knowledge Grounding & RAG Ability to ground agent behavior in company data through document ingestion, retrieval, external knowledge APIs, semantic search, or RAG layers. |
||
|
DefiniteKnowledge Grounding & RAG A lakehouse native semantic layer of seven tables (models, dimensions, measures, relationships, context annotations and two ontology tables) is maintained by the team in git YAML, the Catalog editor or the API, and Fi searches it and the ontology at the start of each question; a newly saved model is available immediately with no retraining. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/semanticread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Scoop AnalyticsKnowledge Grounding & RAG Investigations and action plans draw on the customer's codified operating playbook and a knowledge layer of versioned, auditable rules that users extend by describing new scenarios in plain English, exportable by the customer. Scoop does not say how rules are retrieved at scale. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/product/how-it-worksread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Memory & State Persistence Ability to persist context across a run, conversation, workflow, user, team, or longer-term memory layer. |
||
|
DefiniteMemory & State Persistence Each agent keeps two memory layers, an episodic log of its runs and a durable per agent state scratchpad (JSON) that persists watermarks and notes across runs, and the LLM reads its memory of recent runs when deciding whether to act. The scope is per agent and the state is durable, but no review or deletion path for agent memory is described. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/agentsread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Scoop AnalyticsMemory & State Persistence Scoop keeps an action history of which recommendations managers accepted, deferred or rejected and the outcomes that followed, and feeds it back into later cycles, exportable by the customer. There is no memory layer with a stated scope, lifetime or deletion path. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/product/how-it-worksread 2026-09-28 |
||
| Control & trust | ||
|
Human Oversight & Guardrails Approval steps, consent checkpoints, escalation rules, structured guardrails, policy constraints, and pause/resume controls. |
||
|
DefiniteHuman Oversight & Guardrails The customer bounds what agents do, with one probe and one action per agent, a cooldown before an action fires again, skip guards on pipeline steps and API tokens scoped to capabilities. There is no built in approval workflow or human review gate. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/agentsread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Scoop AnalyticsHuman Oversight & Guardrails Scoop recommends and managers decide. Each corrective action is accepted, deferred or rejected with an explanation, and the agent has read only access and never writes to customer systems. Decisions stay with people, but no approval step gates an agent action. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/product/how-it-worksread 2026-09-28 |

Security, Identity & Governance RBAC, SSO, auditability, encryption, least-privilege tool access, compliance posture, and data handling policy. |
||
|
DefiniteSecurity, Identity & Governance Role based access control spans workspaces, docs and integrations, SAML 2.0 and OIDC SSO and SCIM come on higher plans, and a HIPAA BAA is offered on Enterprise. The SOC 2 Type II audit is underway, with an interim Type I report available on request. Sourcedefinite.app/securityread 2026-09-28 |

Customers' users get no SSO, roles or permissions. Sourcescoopanalytics.com/securityread 2026-09-28 |
||
|
Observability & Auditability Traces, logs, execution histories, metrics, audit events, and debugging detail for production agent behavior. |
||
|
DefiniteObservability & Auditability Every authentication, permission change, query and integration event is logged, with export to a SIEM on Enterprise. Automation runs record ordered steps with logs and outputs, and agents keep a log of each run. Sourcedefinite.app/securityread 2026-09-28 |

Deployment & Data Residency Deployment modes and options, including SaaS, dedicated cloud, VPC, on-prem, hybrid, local runtime, and self-hosting. |
||
|
DefiniteDeployment & Data Residency Definite runs as a private deployment in the customer's own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure or any Kubernetes) with a self host guide, and the hosted service runs on GCP in the US with an EU region on Enterprise. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/on-premread 2026-09-28 |

| Platform extensibility | ||
|
Model Flexibility & Routing Ability to work across multiple foundation models, route tasks to different models, or let buyers bring their own providers and keys. |
||
|
DefiniteModel Flexibility & Routing Definite supports Anthropic direct, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Azure OpenAI with the customer's own credentials, and admins change the default model in Settings, Models. That setup is described for self hosting, so whether hosted customers can pick the model is not stated. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/llm-setupread 2026-09-28 |

|
Scoop AnalyticsModel Flexibility & Routing Customers can bring their own provider credits, under the line "Your model contracts. Bring your own provider credits. Routing stays current as the model market moves." AI inference is billed separately. No provider or model is named, and the routing is Scoop's, not a model the customer selects.

Testing, Debugging & Optimization Testing, debugging, scoring, retries, fallbacks, quality gates, and optimization loops for improving agent workflows before and after deployment. |
||
|
DefiniteTesting, Debugging & Optimization There is no test set, scored cases or evaluation of Fi or the agents, and pipeline assertion steps test the data, such as uniqueness, not the agent. Sourcedefinite.app/docs/automationsread 2026-09-28 |
