Why the edge:
- Reliability, One +24: One 87 (Read with the hosted lines.); SandBase 63 (Hosted lines, graded on the HTTP API and the remote MCP server at api.sandbase.ai/v1/mcp, the surfaces an agent calls.)
- Security & auth, One +24: One 69 (OAuth 2.1 authorisation code with PKCE, scopes, one-hour access tokens, and a grant that can be narrowed or revoked from the dashboard with effect on the next c…); SandBase 45 (Standard keys (`sk-` and 64 hex characters) act for one organisation with no user-selectable scopes, can carry an expiry and a spending limit, are shown once an…)
- Maintenance & community, One +21: One 89 (`@withone/cli` v2.10.0 tagged on 28 October 2026 and `@withone/mcp` 2.3.2 on 21 October (30).); SandBase 68 (Read for a hosted service with an open CLI and SDKs.)
- Transparency & trust, One +16: One 64 (The editorial half.); SandBase 48 (The editorial half.)
- Agent ergonomics, SandBase +5: One 76 (Three compact tools however many apps are connected.); SandBase 81 (Read on the MCP tools, with the HTTP API where a line covers it.)
- Payments & pricing, SandBase +5: One 35 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0).); SandBase 40 (No x402, MPP or L402 on the home page, pricing, billing, llms.txt or the OpenAPI paths; the balance is funded through Stripe or Airwallex checkout (0).)
