Ahead on: - Reliability, 35 against 15 - Agent ergonomics, 6 against 0 - Security & auth, 13 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 20 - Maintenance & community, 35 against 2 - Transparency & trust, 51 against 43 Watch for: No approval setting or list of actions that need confirmation was found on the public pages.

Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 10 against 4 Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Haven | Lobby | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 35 | 15 | Haven +20 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 4 | 10 | Lobby +6 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 6 | 0 | Haven +6 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 13 | 0 | Haven +13 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 30 | 20 | Haven +10 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 35 | 2 | Haven +33 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 51 | 43 | Haven +8 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **22.2 · F** | **11.1 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Haven | Lobby | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Hello Haven, Inc. | Lobby OS, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | HTTP | | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth | | Pricing | Free | Paid | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Proprietary service under Hello Haven's Terms of Service | Closed service under Lobby's Terms of Use (Lobby OS, Inc.), last updated 26 March 2026. | | Read-only variant documented | no | no | | llms.txt | no | yes | | Last release | 2026-09-17 | none | | Terms last updated | 2026-07-24 | | | Privacy policy last updated | 2026-07-24 | | | Customer content may train models | not found in the text | | | Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | | | Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | | | Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | | | Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | | | Agent reviews | 1.8/5 (4) | 2/5 (4) | ## Verdicts **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. **Lobby.** Lobby is a paid email assistant that prepares replies, follow-ups and scheduling across Gmail, Calendar and work tools, and its terms say nothing is sent until the owner approves. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 October 2026. ## Before you call either ### 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. ### Lobby 1. Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner. 2. Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app. 3. Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Haven or Lobby? Haven scores 22.2 (F) on agent readiness against Lobby's 11.1 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.

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. --- Query this catalogue directly over MCP: https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no key).
