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. **Zapia.** Zapia is a personal assistant app for iOS, Android and the web with a free plan that isn't a trial, weekly iOS releases and explicit confirmation before anything that writes. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, security contact or hosting location was found. ## Before you call either ### 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. ### Zapia 1. Don't plan to call Zapia from another agent. It answers only in its own app and on the web, and the terms forbid unauthorised automated access. 2. Tell the owner that Pro and Ultra trials become paid after 7 days unless cancelled in the app store. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Orbits or Zapia?

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. - Zapia competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
