Relevance AI: review, pricing, security and alternatives
Relevance AI is a AI agent published by OnSearch Pty Ltd, in the multi-agent family. Relevance AI lets organizations assemble agent teams and connected tools to automate tasks across business applications.
What Relevance AI does
Relevance AI belongs to the multi-agent family: systems that split a task between several specialised agents passing work to one another. The directory lists 43 agents in this family.
You use it from: web app.
Who is Relevance AI for?
It interests technical teams that want to split a complex task between several specialised agents that check each other. Typical tasks people give it:
- pair a writer agent with a reviewer agent
- split a project into subtasks given to roles
- simulate a team (analysis, plan, execution)
It is a good candidate if you prefer doing everything in a browser, with no install.
Access and human control
According to its documentation, Relevance AI can:
- call online services and APIs
- read and send messages
We could not establish whether it asks for human approval before sensitive actions: test it first on an unimportant account or folder.
Relevance AI pricing
The vendor publishes no price: pricing is by quote.
Agent prices change often and frequently depend on usage (credits, tasks, steps): check the pricing page before committing, especially for a team.
Getting started with Relevance AI
- Create an account on the official website.
- Pick the platform: web.
- Give it a first playground with nothing at stake: a test folder, a secondary account or a throwaway project. Only open your real accounts once you have seen how it behaves.
- Give it a short, checkable task, review the result and its action log, then raise the difficulty step by step.
Security: risk level
More agents mean higher bills and chained errors: set a budget and a maximum number of steps.
Points found for Relevance AI:
- Trifecta: access to private data, reading outside content and sending messages. That combination makes data leaks through prompt injection possible.
Three habits: least privilege (minimal rights, dedicated keys), human approval for irreversible actions, a sandbox for code execution. The AI agent security check reviews your setup in a few minutes.

How we rated it
We do not give proprietary agents a score out of 100: there is no public adoption or activity data for them comparable to open-source repositories, and we will not make up a number. This page relies on the vendor's documentation and pricing page, checked on October 25, 2026.
The risk level follows the same rule as for open-source projects: access granted, default human approval and where data is processed. Details on the method page.
