## Which one, for what

### DeepTutor (B)

Good for: A learner, a teacher or a small group that wants a self-hosted tutor over their own documents, with quizzes, research reports, memory and IM companions, or for an agent that hands study tasks to it through the JSON CLI.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 78 against 35
- Schema & documentation, 71 against 4
- Agent ergonomics, 63 against 6
- Security & auth, 51 against 13
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 30
- Maintenance & community, 84 against 35

Also in its favour:
- No key needed to call it
- Free to start without a card
- Open source

Watch for: The default launch binds the backend to 0.0.0.0 with sign-in off and CORS open to any origin with credentials

### Haven (F)

Good for: A consumer assistant for one person who wants to phone, text or email it and have it remember them.

Also in its favour:
- No incidents deducted, where DeepTutor loses 3 points for them

Watch for: No approval setting or list of actions that need confirmation was found on the public pages. The terms say it sends emails, SMS and calls following the user's instructions.

## Verdicts

**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.

**Haven.** Haven answers by phone call, text, email and app, is free in beta with no card, and publishes a status page with dated incidents. No public page read says which actions need approval, which accounts it connects or how their tokens are kept, and it names no model provider or sub-processor.

## Before you call either

### DeepTutor

1. Run `deeptutor run <capability> "..." --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session
2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected
3. 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
4. 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)
5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap

### Haven

1. Haven has no documented API or MCP server. An outside agent can reach it only through the owner's channels (call, SMS, email, app).
2. Do not assume an approval step before Haven sends mail, texts or calls. None is documented on the public pages.
3. Email Haven sends to other people names Hello Haven as sender and says it was sent on the user's behalf, per the terms.
4. Chat messages, history, profile context and uploaded files go to third-party AI model providers that the vendor does not name.
5. Check status.hellohaven.ai before relying on phone or voice. All four published incidents affected those channels.
