No outside agent can call it, there's no free tier, and its privacy policy allows training a personal model while its blog says it never trains.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Orchid\n\n1. Don't plan to call Orchid from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, SMS and Telegram threads.\n2. Check status.orchid.ai before telling the owner Orchid is down. The 7 August incident moved it to a new number.\n3. Tell the owner that drafts and holds wait for their approval unless they widen it.\n\n### Zapia\n\n1. 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.\n2. Tell the owner that Pro and Ultra trials become paid after 7 days unless cancelled in the app store.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Orchid or Zapia?\n\nOrchid scores 20.2 (F) on agent readiness against Zapia's 17.3 (F), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
