Standard context is 38,000 tokens; the 64k, 128k and 1M bands are held and video is a preview. The latency and benchmark figures are RightNow's own, and several of its pages disagree.\n\n**ScaleDown.** Classify answers Jev-shaped `choice`, `noul` and `score` questions with probabilities, and Extract returns values with confidences and character offsets, at $0.05 per million input tokens with output free. There is no status page, no published rate limit and no public changelog, and the site's compliance claims contradict each other.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### RightNow System Zero\n\n1. Send audio only as inline 16,000 Hz WAV. The FLAC, MP3, OGG and MP4 audio named on the blog are refused with media_unsupported.\n2. Keep state under 38,000 tokens. Long-context requests return 404 long_context_not_available, which never succeeds on retry.\n3. Reuse the same Idempotency-Key and body on retries, and stop when error.retryable or x-should-retry is false.\n4. Check every entry in answers even on HTTP 200, since one question can be refused while the others are answered.\n5. Treat probabilities as uncalibrated while calibrated is false, and pin system-zero-2.0.0 when answers must not move with the alias.\n\n### ScaleDown\n\n1. Send several questions about one item in one `/v1/scaledown` call. Each becomes its own Classify call and the usage is summed\n2. Pin `classify-1`, `extract-1` or `summarize-1` once you've tuned thresholds on your own labelled cases\n3. Set `context_chars` to 0 and use `top_n` on Extract unless you need the 500 characters of context each side\n4. Set `reasoning: false` on /classify when you only need the label. The reasoning call bills its input at 2x\n5. Back off and retry on 429, 502 and 504. No limits are published and calls have no side effects\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, RightNow System Zero or ScaleDown?\n\nRightNow System Zero scores 66.8 (B) on agent readiness against ScaleDown's 48.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do RightNow System Zero and ScaleDown need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call RightNow System Zero and ScaleDown without installing anything?\n\nYes. RightNow System Zero has a hosted endpoint at https://api.rightnowai.co/v1/system-zero/decide and ScaleDown at https://api.scaledown.xyz.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/rightnow-system-zero-vs-scaledown.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/rightnow-system-zero-vs-scaledown.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"rightnow-system-zero\", \"b\": \"scaledown\"}`.
