How Crewaid compares
A crew with its own computer. Without the lock-in.
Plenty of agents now work on a computer of their own. What sets them apart is whose model they run, where your keys and data live, what your bill does at the limit, and whether you can run it yourself.

Four things you keep with Crewaid.
Which model each bot uses, what it costs and where it all runs stay your decisions.
Any model, on any bot.
Give each bot the model that suits its job, and switch whenever you like: it keeps its name, memory and skills. Every plan includes model use, or bring your own key for OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible provider.
A bill that stops at the limit.
There are no overage charges. At your plan’s limit, computer time or included models pause until the plan renews or you upgrade. Model use on your own key is never charged to your plan.
Keys off the bots’ computer. Data in your region.
Messages, model keys and plugin tokens are encrypted before they are stored, in the region you pick at sign-up: the European Union, United States or Asia-Pacific. Keys are used on the server to make each call and never placed on your crew’s computer, so a page a bot opens finds no key there to take.
Your own servers, for free.
Run the server, the crew’s computers and the database on your own machine or cloud. No subscription, and no usage limits beyond what your machine can run.
