Agentic Index
Langbase vs Toolhouse (2026)
Choose Langbase for serverless, composable agents with built in memory and a unified API across hundreds of LLMs, and choose Toolhouse for the fastest prompt to deployed agent path with tools and RAG included. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Langbase starts at 100 dollars a month with a free tier of 500 runs. Both are young serverless agent platforms, so treat evaluation as a scoped pilot with success criteria before standardizing.
On the Agentic Index MCP platform ranking, Langbase clears the bar and Toolhouse does not. Langbase documents all three interoperability capabilities in full; Toolhouse does not document model flexibility and routing in full. 137 of the 548 platforms it grades clear it. See the MCP platform ranking
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Langbase and Toolhouse 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 956 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Langbase if
- Composable primitives and pipes match how your team wants to architect agents
- A unified API over hundreds of models keeps routing flexibility open
- Built in memory at the platform layer removes a component from your stack
Choose Toolhouse if
- Shipping a working agent from a prompt this week is the actual requirement
- Tools and RAG included with the runtime cover what you would otherwise assemble
- One link MCP connectivity to thousands of services covers integrations
