## Overview

**Grade F · 20.6/100 · rank #991 of 1010 · #28 in Personal assistants · not agent-ready · confidence medium**


## Assessment

Del is a hosted texting assistant and task workspace across iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, Discord and Slack, with a near-daily public changelog and a card-free 14-day trial. No outside agent can call it, no status page or security contact was found, and recent updates let some email actions skip approval.

## Score breakdown (methodology v0.4, October 2026 research run)

Assessed 2026-10-14 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points.

| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 25 | 5.0 |
| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 10 | 1.6 |
| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 30 | 3.8 |
| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 60 | 5.2 |
| Transparency & trust (editorial 54, provenance 59) | 7% | 8.8 | 57 | 5.0 |
| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |
| **Total** | | | | **20.6 → F** |

### Why each score

- Reliability 25: Read with the hosted lines. No status page found. status.withdel.com answers with a hosting not-found page (0). No readable incident history (5). The updates page sets web browsing tasks at five a month on Standard and unlimited on Pro, the Marmot reading for plan limits with numbers and no per-call figures (10 of 15). No overload or retry guidance (0). No SLA (0). Del takes sign-ups and isn't labelled beta (10).
- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.
- Schema & documentation 10: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use, as GRADER.md asks. Del has no API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an agent, so the contract, description, typed-input and example lines score nothing (0 of 25, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15). That is a statement about agent access, not about the service for people. withdel.com/llms.txt and llms-full.txt describe the product, channels and capabilities (10). The versioning and changelog line versions an agent interface, and with none there is nothing to version, so it scores nothing (0 of 15), the reading the 12 October audit applied to every listing without an agent interface.
- Agent ergonomics 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. Del has none, so context cost, pagination, errors, retries and defaults have nothing to score (0 on each line). This says nothing about the service for people.
- Security & auth 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. With none for Del, the credential, least-privilege, injection and audit lines score nothing (0 of 30, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15), whatever the service does for its owner. The security programme line doesn't need an interface and is scored. For the record, Google access uses the calendar.events and gmail.modify scopes, website logins and cards sit in a Vault, and the updates page records Del saving Gmail drafts (29 September 2026) and sending email when the owner is the only recipient (28 September 2026) without asking. withdel.com/.well-known/security.txt returns 404, and no security contact, disclosure policy, bug bounty, certification or advisories were found (0 of 20).
- Payments & pricing 30: Read with the hosted rule. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). There's no pricing page. The updates page records the monthly price lowered from $20 to $14.99 and names Standard and Pro plans, so a public plan price (10). The updates page announces a card-free 14-day trial and the home page says try free for 2 weeks (20). A person starts by texting Del (0).
- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.
- Maintenance & community 60: Read for a closed service. Updates page entry on 7 October 2026 (30). Dated entries on most days since July, including 2 October, 30 September and 29 September (20). A near-daily public changelog and a contact address in the terms (evan@withdel.com), which we didn't test (10 of 15). No MCP server or SDK (0). No package or CI to judge (0).
- Transparency & trust 57: Closed service under terms updated on 5 August 2026 naming Human Interface, Inc. (15). The privacy policy of 30 September 2026 says conversations, tasks, notes and connected data don't train generalised models and binds AI providers likewise, keeps data while the account is active, deletes it at once on account deletion with backups overwritten after a short period, and discloses Vercel Analytics. The terms and privacy policy agree that an employee may review a request and that Del says so in the conversation (22 of 30). Material term changes get notice, with no deprecation policy (3 of 20). Subprocessors are named with regions (Vercel, Supabase and Telnyx in the United States), and AI providers only as US-based (14 of 20).

### Terms and privacy, as read

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice.

**Terms of service** (https://www.withdel.com/terms), not read yet.


**Privacy policy** (https://www.withdel.com/privacy), not read yet.


## Probe metrics

Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.

## Prices

| Item | Price | Unit | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Del subscription | $14.99 | per month (plan) | Lowered from $20, per the updates page. Plan tier not stated for this price. |

Across all listings: https://www.anchorterminal.com/prices/index.md

## Strengths

- Dated changelog entries on most days, the latest on 7 October 2026.
- Card-free 14-day trial.
- The privacy policy names hosting providers and regions, and says user content doesn't train generalised models.
- Gmail access uses the modify scope, which can't permanently delete messages.

## Weaknesses

- No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an outside agent.
- Since late September Del saves Gmail drafts, and sends email when the owner is the only recipient, without asking.
- No pricing page, and Standard and Pro aren't priced separately.
- No status page, security.txt or security contact found.
- A Human Interface employee may review requests, which Del discloses in the conversation.

## Before you call it (notes for agents)

1. Don't plan to call Del from another agent. It answers only the owner's messaging threads and web workspace.
2. Tell the owner web browsing tasks are limited to five a month on Standard and unlimited on Pro.

## Verify this listing

For the vendor. The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on withdel.com or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{"slug": "del", "url": "…"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.

## Disclosure

Del 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.
