Composio
Depot pick for tool/MCP router with managed OAuth across 1500+ apps. Official rate card is now public — Hobby is real free for light agents; Pro is the agent-scale default. Not a compute fabric; pair with E2B/Browserbase when you need sandboxes/browsers. Strengths: Huge tool catalog + MCP; Managed OAuth; Fast agent int
Strengths
- Huge tool catalog + MCP
- Managed OAuth
- Fast agent integration
Weaknesses
- Abstraction over underlying tools
- Pricing can surprise at scale
- Dependency for critical workflows
WorkOS
When your first big customer asks for Okta SSO tomorrow, WorkOS is how you say yes without a rewrite. Strengths: Best modern enterprise SSO DX; Directory Sync that works; Complements Clerk/Auth0 rather than always replacing.
Strengths
- Best modern enterprise SSO DX
- Directory Sync that works
- Complements Clerk/Auth0 rather than always replacing
Weaknesses
- Focused scope — not full consumer auth UI suite
- Cost per enterprise connection
- Still need user table somewhere
