No free plan, and the 3-day trial takes a card up front.\n\n**Restate.** An awakeable pauses a handler at no compute cost and resumes it from one HTTP request, with a durable timeout, on a free plan of 100,000 actions a month. Restate sends nothing to the approver, so the Slack message, email or inbox is the builder's code, and the published terms and privacy statement predate the paid plans.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Pushary\n\n1. Read `answered`, `status` and `handoffAction` on every result, and never treat a timeout as approval\n2. Expect `ask_user` to return at once with `answered: false` when the user's mode is notify-only or terminal-only\n3. Poll `wait_for_answer` once (it waits at most 55 seconds), then follow the handoff instead of looping\n4. Cancel a live question with `cancel_question` before asking the same thing in chat\n5. Group open decisions into one `select` question, since each push interrupts the user\n\n### Restate\n\n1. Create the awakeable, send its ID inside `ctx.run`, then await the promise, so a retry doesn't send a second approval request\n2. Resolve with `POST /restate/awakeables/\u003cid\u003e/resolve` and a JSON body, or `/reject` with a text reason, which throws a terminal error in the handler\n3. On Restate Cloud send `Authorization: Bearer key_...` to `https://\u003cenv_id\u003e.env.\u003cregion\u003e.restate.cloud:8080`. On a self-hosted server put an authenticating proxy in front of port 8080\n4. Wrap the wait in `orTimeout` and decide what a timeout means. Without it the handler waits with no limit\n5. Retry ingress errors only on 408, 425, 429 or 5xx, and only when `x-restate-error-source` isn't `invocation`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Pushary or Restate?\n\nRestate scores 73.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Pushary's 51.4 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
