## When another tool fits better

* **Composio or Pipedream** — you already run your own agent and only need tools and OAuth. Flowra syncs many apps from Composio.
* **Zapier** — you need the widest app catalog for fixed, non-agent automations.
* **n8n** — you want to self-host and own every node on a canvas.

## When Flowra fits

* You want the agent hosted, not only the tools.
* Each of your customers connects their own Gmail or Slack, and threads stay separate.
* A person approves a send before it happens.
* Your coding agent should reach every app through one MCP URL — [MCP in the dashboard](/product/mcp-in-dashboard).
