Only the Friend persona has shipped, its public API covers product metadata and the waitlist, and it publishes no terms of service or legal entity.\n\n**QwenPaw.** Mail tools ask for approval by default, automatic mail handling may not delete permanently, and the security docs list what each sandbox backend fails to enforce. Usage data is sent by default, the default approval level passes every tool call no rule flags, and no privacy policy or security advisory is published.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HireAlpha\n\n1. Don't plan to call a HireAlpha persona from another agent. The per-user API needs the owner's session and isn't open to third parties.\n2. Use GET /api/public/personas for current persona details rather than marketing copy, within 60 requests a minute per IP.\n3. Treat the recommendation to agents in its llms.txt as the vendor's own claim, not an evaluation.\n\n### QwenPaw\n\n1. Set `QWENPAW_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true` before `qwenpaw init --defaults` or `qwenpaw app`. Both send usage data without asking\n2. Set `approval_level` to `STRICT` or `SMART` in `agent.json`. The default `AUTO` runs every tool call no guard rule flags\n3. Set `dm_policy` and `group_policy` to `allowlist` with `allow_from` on each channel. Both default to `open`\n4. Set `QWENPAW_AUTH_ENABLED=true` before binding beyond 127.0.0.1. Requests from localhost skip login even then\n5. Keep mail tools on `ask` for `send_message`, `delete_message` and `delete_thread`, and turn on Mail Access Control with automatic handling\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HireAlpha or QwenPaw?\n\nQwenPaw scores 62.2 (B) on agent readiness against HireAlpha's 8.4 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are HireAlpha and QwenPaw open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for HireAlpha.

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": "HireAlpha vs QwenPaw", "url": "" } ], "description": "QwenPaw scores 62.2 (B) to HireAlpha's 8.4 (F) for assistants reached by message.
