7 alternatives to Ember
AXL combines websites and funnels, CRM, email and messaging, automation, booking, payments, webinars, courses and communities on one customer record, and lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other agents operate about 1,100 of its operations through a hosted MCP server. Free plan, paid from $49/month.
Composio connects AI assistants and custom agents to more than 1,500 apps through managed authentication, SDKs and an MCP gateway, and its new Instant tools let agents pay per call for search, scraping, audio and data services from one balance.
Pomerado builds deterministic MCP and API integrations for websites without an API, including sites behind logins and 2FA, so agents call a tool instead of driving a browser. Open-source core (MIT) plus a hosted cloud.
Strawberry is a desktop browser for macOS and Windows with built-in AI companions that research, update CRMs, take meeting notes and run recurring routines inside the accounts you are already signed into. Strawberry 1.0 shipped on October 26, 2026.
MachineMail is an email API for AI agents: free inboxes on demand, a hosted MCP server and webhooks, and a trust report on every inbound message that strips hidden instructions and tells the agent whether the sender can be believed. Its /v0 API is compatible with AgentMail's.
Cedric is an AI teammate for your team chat. Developers can drive him through a chat API and a remote MCP server, using his tools, memory, files and 3,000+ connected apps.
Rerun lets teams hire AI "coworkers" that work on a schedule or trigger inside a private cloud computer, connect to thousands of apps and MCP servers, ask before consequential actions, and run on a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, an API key or included credits. It is open source under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted.
