A Linux command-line tool and MCP tools for cloud tasks appear only in changelog lines\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Paperclip | Unstoppable | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 66 | 45 | Paperclip +21 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 81 | 30 | Paperclip +51 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 70 | 5 | Paperclip +65 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 64 | 36 | Paperclip +28 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 30 | Paperclip +30 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 78 | 58 | Paperclip +20 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 66 | 58 | Paperclip +8 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -10 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **59 · C** | **34.9 · F** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Paperclip | Unstoppable |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Paperclip Labs, Inc. | Unstoppable Domains, Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  |  |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | Proprietary, under Unstoppable Domains, Inc.'s Terms of Service.

The Claude Code and Codex adapters skip permission prompts and the sandbox by default, and twelve security advisories, five of them critical, have been published since April 2026.\n\n**Unstoppable.** Unstoppable runs several coding agents side by side in separate worktrees on the owner's Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor plans, with dated help articles and a public changelog. It has no API, MCP server or documented command an outside agent can call, every chat starts in Full access, and its pages disagree on which parts need a paid plan.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Paperclip\n\n1. Set `PAPERCLIP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1` or `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` before the first start. Telemetry is on by default\n2. Set `dangerouslySkipPermissions` and `dangerouslyBypassApprovalsAndSandbox` to false on agents that read untrusted input, or run them in a sandbox provider\n3. Install with Node.js 24.11 or newer, and install and sign in to each harness CLI on the host first. Paperclip assumes they are there\n4. Use `--bind lan` or `--bind tailnet` at onboarding for anything beyond one machine. The default `local_trusted` mode treats every request as the board admin\n5. Treat 409 on task checkout as owned by another agent and pick different work. The API docs say not to retry\n\n### Unstoppable\n\n1. Don't plan to drive Unstoppable from another agent. It has no documented API, MCP server or CLI. Call Claude Code, Codex or Cursor directly and let the person use Unstoppable around them\n2. Inside Unstoppable, check the approval mode before acting. New chats start in Full access unless the person set Ask or Accept edits in Settings, Approvals\n3. When a Claude or Codex usage limit is reached, ask the person before choosing Use credits now or Always use credits, since both spend their AI credits\n4. Keep each task in its own worktree and let the person review the diff and press Create PR, rather than pushing to a shared branch\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Paperclip or Unstoppable?\n\nPaperclip scores 59 (C) on agent readiness against Unstoppable's 34.9 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Paperclip and Unstoppable open source?\n\nPaperclip is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for Unstoppable.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/paperclip-vs-unstoppable.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/paperclip-vs-unstoppable.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"paperclip\", \"b\": \"unstoppable\"}`.
