No outside agent can call it, paid prices sit inside the app, and no changelog or subprocessor list was found.\n\n**DeepTutor.** DeepTutor runs on the owner's machine under Apache 2.0, ships releases every few days with upgrade notes, and gives other agents a JSON CLI with resumable sessions. Its default launch binds all interfaces with sign-in off and permissive CORS, there is no security policy, and two CVEs in 2026 covered a shell-tool RCE and a multi-user MCP bypass, both fixed.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Brea\n\n1. Don't plan to call Brea from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage thread.\n2. Tell the owner that replying ALWAYS stops Brea asking again for that action.\n\n### DeepTutor\n\n1. Run `deeptutor run \u003ccapability\u003e \"...\" --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session\n2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected\n3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in `auth.json`, set exact `cors_origins` and set `BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1` where loopback is wanted\n4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass)\n5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Brea or DeepTutor?\n\nDeepTutor scores 62.7 (B) on agent readiness against Brea's 12.7 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Brea and DeepTutor open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Brea. DeepTutor is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brea-vs-deeptutor.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brea-vs-deeptutor.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"brea\", \"b\": \"deeptutor\"}`.

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.\n",
