Factory's Droids meet you in the IDE, the CLI, the browser, and Slack — wherever you write code. Tulsk is where the rest of your work happens: tasks, comments, sprints, with agents living inside the workspace.

The most differentiating dimensions first. Honest where they win, honest where we win.
| Dimension | Tulsk | Factory |
|---|---|---|
| Category | PM workspace + agents | Coding agent across tools |
| Free tier | $0, 2 seats, 50 runs / mo | No free tier |
| Cheapest paid | $7 per extra seat / mo | $20 / mo (Pro) |
| Project management surface | Projects, tasks, sprints, comments, activity feed | None — Factory integrates with Linear |
| Where agents run | Dedicated container per workspace | Local + cloud Droid Computers |
| IDE / CLI integration | MCP server for IDEs | Native VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, CLI, Slack |
| Pricing model | Per seat + run quota | Tier-based usage multipliers (≈Nx Pro usage) |
| On-prem | VPC on Enterprise | On-prem on Enterprise |
| Best for | Cross-function teams that want agents everywhere in the workspace | Engineering orgs that want an agent embedded in dev tools |
| Localization | 7 locales | English-first |
The differences that matter once you start using either tool.
Tulsk's agent shows up in the place work is tracked — the task, the comment thread, the sprint board. @mention an agent and it reads the task context, runs, and replies in-thread.
Factory's Droids show up in your IDE, your CLI, your terminal, your browser, your Slack. The bet is that engineers don't want to switch tools to delegate to an agent. Strong fit if your team's bottleneck is engineering throughput.
Tulsk handles research, writing, ops, GTM, code — anything you can describe in a Markdown skill. EMA, the AI project manager, watches the workspace for scope, sprint health, and report deadlines.
Factory is engineering-focused. Droids ship code, run QA, do code review. It's not pitched as the workspace for marketing, sales, or operations work.
Tulsk Pro is $7 per extra seat per month with 500 agent runs. Run-based metering — no compute multiplier surprises.
Factory's tiers escalate as usage multipliers (Pro Plus is ~5x Pro, Max is ~10x Pro). Predictable if you know your team's volume; harder to forecast if you don't.

Tulsk and Factory can coexist. Engineering teams keep Factory inside their dev tools and use Tulsk's MCP server to tie agent context back to a unified workspace.
