No outside agent can call it, paid prices sit inside the app, and no changelog or subprocessor list was found.\n\n**GAIA.** GAIA's source is public, so its approval gate, memory store and token handling can be read. Three approval modes and per-tool overrides exist, but the default mode in the source runs every action unasked, which the privacy policy and release notes do not say. Pro costs $30 a month and self-hosting is limited to noncommercial use.\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### GAIA\n\n1. Set Settings \u003e Approvals to Always ask or Auto before connecting mail. The default in the source runs every action, including send and delete, without asking.\n2. Expect no public API on the hosted service. The backend turns off its OpenAPI document in production, so reach GAIA through its apps, bots or CLI.\n3. Check the plan before relying on the hosted service. The README and docs describe a Free plan, and the pricing page says GAIA is a paid product.\n4. For self-hosting, prepare Docker, Node.js 20, a WorkOS account and a model key first, and confirm the use is noncommercial under the licence.\n5. Add outside tools as MCP servers by URL on the Integrations page. GAIA asks before adding a server in every approval mode.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Brea or GAIA?\n\nGAIA scores 49.5 (D) on agent readiness against Brea's 12.9 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brea-vs-gaia.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/brea-vs-gaia.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"brea\", \"b\": \"gaia\"}`.

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", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-10-14", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.4", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Compare", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/" }, { "name": "Brea vs GAIA", "url": "" } ], "description": "GAIA scores 49.5 (D) to Brea's 12.9 (F) for assistants reached by message.
