## Which one, for what

### asaply (F)

Good for: People in covered neighbourhoods who want coffee, lunch, tickets and rides handled by text.

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where Skydive loses 5 points for them

Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent.

### Skydive (D)

Good for: A person or team who wants hosted agents with their own cloud computers, memory and connected apps, reachable in Slack, email, text and a CLI, and who can drive them from scripts through the CLI.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 41 against 10
- Schema & documentation, 81 against 10
- Agent ergonomics, 59 against 0
- Security & auth, 59 against 0
- Payments & pricing, 35 against 0
- Maintenance & community, 56 against 2
- Transparency & trust, 75 against 46

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: The API has no operation for sending an agent a task. That runs through the CLI's `chat -p`, outside the OpenAPI contract.

## Verdicts

**asaply.** asaply is a text-only errand assistant in early access that orders, books and pays through Apple Pay after showing the total, and can read and change a connected Google Calendar and Gmail. No outside agent can call it, the service fee isn't published, and no status page or security contact was found.

**Skydive.** Skydive publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 document, Markdown docs and scoped, agent-bound API keys, though outside agents can send it tasks only through the CLI. Its status page records several major incidents, including a 25-hour Agent Hosting outage, and its home and pricing pages say data is never used for training while the privacy policy turns training on by default.

## Before you call either

### asaply

1. Don't plan to call asaply from another agent. It answers only texts from the owner's phone number and group chats it joins.
2. Tell the owner each errand adds an unpublished service fee to the order total.

### Skydive

1. Send tasks with `skydive chat -p "..." --agent <id> --json` and pass `--conversation <id>` from the JSON to keep context. The REST API can't send a task.
2. Don't retry `chat -p` or a create blindly after a timeout. There's no idempotency key, so list agents or keys before retrying.
3. Ask the owner for an agent-bound `use` key when you only need to read. Account-level `edit` keys can create agents and mint keys.
4. Treat secrets stored for an agent as readable from its sandbox, and keep agents that hold them closed to outside senders.
5. Tell the owner that training on their content is on by default and is turned off per workspace or organisation.

## Disclosure

- asaply competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
