Ahead on: - Reliability, 35 against 15 - Agent ergonomics, 6 against 0 - Security & auth, 13 against 0 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 20 - 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 - Maintenance & community, 54 against 35 Watch for: No public agent API, as llms.txt states. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Haven | Orbits | 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 | Orbits +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 | 54 | Orbits +19 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 51 | 43 | Haven +8 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **22.2 · F** | **15.6 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Haven | Orbits | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Hello Haven, Inc. | Nemus AI, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) | | Transports | HTTP | | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth or key | | Pricing | Free | Paid | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | Proprietary service under Hello Haven's Terms of Service | Closed service under the Orbits Terms of Service (Nemus AI, Inc.). | | Read-only variant documented | no | no | | llms.txt | no | yes | | Last release | 2026-09-17 | 2026-10-13 | | 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 | | ## 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. **Orbits.** Orbits is a family household app whose assistant, Bit, runs shared calendars, lists and meals, reads household email and places restaurant calls after approval, with iOS releases every week or two. No outside agent can call it, prices appear only as App Store in-app purchases, and no status page, security contact or named subprocessors were found. ## 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. ### Orbits 1. Don't plan to call Orbits from another agent. llms.txt says no public agent API is offered. 2. Tell the owner the assistant needs an Orbits subscription bought in the app, and that any trial appears only at purchase. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Haven or Orbits?

Orbits competes 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.
