Both do agent harnesses.\n\n- Emdash: grade D, 53.9/100, rank #933 of 1510. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/emdash.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/emdash.json\n- Unstoppable: grade F, 34.7/100, rank #1400 of 1510. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/unstoppable.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/unstoppable.json\n- Best agent harnesses and coding agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/agent-harnesses/index.md\n- All 1500 harnesses comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent-harnesses/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Emdash (D)\n\nGood for: Developers who want parallel agents in worktrees, fed from their issue tracker, locally or over SSH.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 55 against 45\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 55 against 30\n- Agent ergonomics, 55 against 5\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 60 against 30\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 70 against 58\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Open source\n\nWatch for: Telemetry on unless turned off in Settings or with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false\n\n### Unstoppable (F)\n\nGood for: A developer who runs Claude Code, Codex and Cursor on existing plans and wants parallel worktrees, pipelines and phone check-ins in one app.\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Free to start without a card\n\nWatch for: No API, MCP server, SDK or documented CLI for an outside agent. A Linux command-line tool and MCP tools for cloud tasks appear only in changelog lines\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Emdash +50\n\n- Emdash (55): Harness reading. Issue intake from Linear, GitHub, Jira and others, diff review, pull requests and CI checks in one place, local or over SSH (55).\n- Unstoppable (5): These lines measure an interface an agent calls, and Unstoppable has none, so context cost, output controls and retries score nothing. For the person, a usage limit shows choices to wait for the reset or continue on credits (2 of 20). Guest use with no account, a first-run page that imports Claude and Codex projects, and few required settings. No SDK (3 of 15). Total 5.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: Emdash +30\n\n- Emdash (60): Free self-hosted software with nothing to buy, so 0 for a protocol and 20 each for public pricing, a free tier and onboarding with no sign-up, 60.\n- Unstoppable (30): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). The app is published as free, but AI credit prices appear only after sign-in, and no pricing page exists (unstoppable.ai/pricing redirects to the home page). Plan prices of $19, $29 and $49 appear only in an 11 August 2026 blog post (10). Guest use with no account, and 10 free AI credits a day with no card (20). A person has to download and install the app, so no autonomous onboarding (0). Total 30.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Emdash +25\n\n- Emdash (55): Harness reading. Docs site and a workspace server package (55).\n- Unstoppable (30): Graded on the interface an outside agent can use, which is none. No API, OpenAPI file, MCP server or documented command (0). unstoppable.ai/llms.txt lists the product, help and policy pages in Markdown (10). Twenty-two dated help articles explain for a person what each part does and when to use it, such as Code and Work modes and approval modes (5 of 20). No typed inputs an agent could call (0). Step-by-step examples for people and named error states such as usage limit reached and update failed, with no error responses for an agent (3 of 15). Numbered versions and a public dated changelog, which lists only four releases from 20 to 23 October 2026 (12 of 15). Total 30.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Emdash +12\n\n- Emdash (70): v1.2.11 on 6 November 2026 (30). v1.2.9, v1.2.10 and v1.2.11 within two weeks (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Current installers and Homebrew cask (15). Release workflows, no test CI (5). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 5 = 70.\n- Unstoppable (58): Read for a closed product. Version 1.15.0 on 23 October 2026, and iOS 1.1.9 on 27 October (30). Four desktop releases from 20 to 23 October and nine iOS updates since 11 August 2026 (20). A public changelog, a support email, in-app feedback and a Discord server, none tested for replies. Help articles were updated between 19 and 24 October (6 of 15). No SDK and no MCP registry entry (0). Windows updates check signatures per the 1.13.0 notes, with no build pipeline to inspect (2 of 10). Total 58.\n\n### Reliability: Emdash +10\n\n- Emdash (55): Local software. Homebrew cask and installers for macOS, Windows and Linux (20). A code-consistency check and release workflows; no test workflow found (10). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Stable tags to v1.2.11, release notes on GitHub (10). Version 1.2.11 (15). 20 + 10 + 0 + 10 + 15 = 55.\n- Unstoppable (45): Read as local software, because the product is the desktop app the owner runs, as for the other harnesses. Signed downloads for macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel and Windows on the download page, version 1.15.0, plus iOS and Android apps in the stores, with the supported platforms stated. No package registry (20). Closed source with no public CI or test suite (0). No public issue tracker. Bugs go through in-app feedback, email and Discord, none of which shows a record we could read (0). Version numbers and a dated changelog, but only 1.12.0 to 1.15.0 are listed and breaking changes are not marked as such (10). Version 1.15.0 (15). The hosted parts (accounts, AI credits, cloud agents, Remote Control) have no status page. status.unstoppabledomains.com covers the domains business only.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Emdash | Unstoppable | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 55 | 45 | Emdash +10 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 30 | Emdash +25 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 55 | 5 | Emdash +50 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 38 | 36 | Emdash +2 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 30 | Emdash +30 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 70 | 58 | Emdash +12 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 54 | 56 | Unstoppable +2 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **53.9 · D** | **34.7 · F** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Emdash | Unstoppable |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | General Action, Inc. | Unstoppable Domains, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | None | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | Proprietary, under Unstoppable Domains, Inc.'s Terms of Service.

Telemetry is on unless you turn it off, and no test workflow was found in the repository.\n\n**Unstoppable.** Unstoppable runs several coding agents side by side in separate worktrees on the owner's Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor plans, with dated help articles and a public changelog. It has no API, MCP server or documented command an outside agent can call, every chat starts in Full access, and its pages disagree on which parts need a paid plan.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Emdash\n\n1. Launch with TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false if you don't want telemetry\n2. Use the SSH mode to keep agents on a remote machine\n\n### Unstoppable\n\n1. Don't plan to drive Unstoppable from another agent. It has no documented API, MCP server or CLI. Call Claude Code, Codex or Cursor directly and let the person use Unstoppable around them\n2. Inside Unstoppable, check the approval mode before acting. New chats start in Full access unless the person set Ask or Accept edits in Settings, Approvals\n3. When a Claude or Codex usage limit is reached, ask the person before choosing Use credits now or Always use credits, since both spend their AI credits\n4. Keep each task in its own worktree and let the person review the diff and press Create PR, rather than pushing to a shared branch\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Emdash or Unstoppable?\n\nEmdash scores 53.9 (D) on agent readiness against Unstoppable's 34.7 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Emdash and Unstoppable open source?\n\nEmdash is open source (Apache-2.0).
