Comparison

Rerun vs Squad

Squad rents you AI teammates and asks you to bring the AI. Rerun is the whole workspace they live in: Boxes you organize your way, a library of agents ready to install, 200+ apps, and a board where you watch the work happen.

Last reviewed , against each product’s public pricing and docs.

The short answer

Squad is one product: a flat roster of teammates, running on the AI subscription you arrive with, for $99 a month. Rerun is the ecosystem around them. You split your workspace into Boxes, staff each one from a library of 120+ ready-made agents or have an expert build yours, run them on whichever model you like, and watch every run light up on a live board instead of reading a task list. All of it from $24 a month, Box, model credit and unlimited runs included. Pick Squad if you already pay for a large ChatGPT plan you want to use up and a single flat roster is all you need.

Choose Squad if

  • You want to stack several AI accounts and fail over when one hits its cap
  • You want a teammate to learn a job by watching you record it once
  • You want their research and scraping credits on the same bill

Choose Rerun if

  • You want a workspace with Boxes, a live board and your whole team on it
  • You would rather install one of 120+ ready-made agents than brief a blank one
  • You want an expert to build your agent and hand it over, ready to run
  • You do not want to buy a $100 AI plan before the first agent runs

Key differences

Where Rerun and Squad part ways.

Four differences that change your day to day, shown on the real product.

Agents that arrive trained

See how it learns

Squad hands you an empty teammate and a text box. Rerun opens on 120+ ready-made agents built by its community and its experts: install one, point it at your tools, change the parts that are yours. It then keeps its files, its databases and what you corrected on its Box, so every run after that is sharper.

Your stack, your model, your call

Connect your stack

Connect Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Notion or any of 200+ apps in one click, plus any MCP server, and give each agent only the access it needs. Run it on Rerun credit, your own Claude or ChatGPT sign-in, your API key or a local model, and switch model per agent whenever you want. Squad runs on the plan you brought.

One bill instead of two

Automate a task

Squad charges $99 a month for the platform, and the work itself runs on an AI subscription you bring, which they recommend at $100 to $200. Rerun is $24 a month with the Box, the model credit and unlimited runs already in it, and bringing your own plan stays a choice, not a condition.

Pricing

What you actually pay.

Squad is $99 a month for unlimited teammates, and the work runs on an AI subscription you bring, which they recommend at $100 to $200 a month, so the real floor sits near $200. Research credits are $5 per 5,000 after the first 1,000 each month, and every extra teammate inbox is $10 a month. Squad sells a 7-day money-back guarantee rather than a trial. Rerun is one plan from $24 a month with a private Box, model credit, 120+ ready-made agents and unlimited runs included, and a 7-day free trial.

FAQ

Rerun vs Squad, your questions.

Is Rerun a Squad alternative?

Yes, and it brings more than the teammates. Your agents live in Boxes you organize yourself, you staff them from a library of 120+ ready-made agents or have an expert build one for you, they run on the model you choose, and you watch them work on a live board. It starts at $24 a month with model credit included, so there is nothing else to buy before an agent can work.

How much does Squad really cost?

Squad is $99 a month, and the work runs on an AI subscription you bring. Their own recommendation is ChatGPT at $100 to $200 a month, so the real floor is near $200, before research credits at $5 per 5,000 and $10 a month for each extra inbox.

What do I get that Squad does not sell?

A library of 120+ agents you install instead of briefing, a network of experts who build and hand over the agent for you, 200+ apps plus any MCP server, Boxes to keep projects and teams apart, and a live board where the whole workspace watches the work instead of reading a task list.

Can I bring my own ChatGPT or Claude plan to Rerun?

Yes, and it is optional. Every plan comes with model credit, so agents run from day one. If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT you can sign an agent into it instead, or use your own API key, and each agent can run on a different model.

Does every Rerun agent get its own computer, like Squad?

Your agents live on a Box: a private, isolated computer in the cloud that comes with the plan, where their files, databases and memory persist between runs. Several agents can share a Box and work on the same project, and you can add more Boxes to keep teams or clients apart.

Is there a free trial?

Rerun has a 7-day free trial and you cancel anytime. Squad asks you to pay the first month and offers a 7-day money-back guarantee instead.
