Catch

Official homepage and /security (checked 2026-09-02) advertise one public plan: $99/month, billed monthly, cancel anytime, with a 10-day free trial. catchagent.ai/pricing returned 404. The same homepage also shows a Closed Beta — Limited Spots waitlist questionnaire.

Open verification questions
  • Closed-beta waitlist copy and a public $99/month module appear on the same homepage; it is unclear whether checkout is open to anyone or gated.
  • Marketing-host /privacy, /terms, /docs, and /rights 404. app.catchagent.ai/privacy and /terms are JavaScript SPA shells, so the full policy text was not independently readable in static HTML.
  • SOC 2 Type II, CASA Tier-2, and Google Verified claims are vendor statements; the security page says full audit reports are available upon request.
  • Named testimonials on the marketing site are vendor-supplied and were not independently corroborated.

Independently fetched with a browser user-agent on 2026-09-02. Homepage (200) and /security (200) both render a pricing module: “Hire your admin for $99/month”, “$99/month. Billed monthly. Cancel anytime.”, and “Start with a 10-day free trial.” /pricing, /docs, /rights, /privacy, and /terms on www.catchagent.ai returned 404. Footer links Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to app.catchagent.ai/privacy and app.catchagent.ai/terms (HTTP 200 SPA shells without readable policy text in the static HTML).

Hermes Agent

Open-source Hermes Agent software is available under the MIT license. Model access, Nous Portal or third-party provider usage, hosting, and infrastructure are separate cost considerations; no single universal subscription price was treated as the software price.

  • Total operating cost depends on model provider, tool gateway, hosting, terminal backend, and workload.
  • Feature availability and setup commands can change quickly as the project evolves.

Official documentation describes Hermes as an open-source autonomous agent with tools, skills, memory, profiles, gateways, MCP, scheduling, and multiple providers. Verify current feature names and provider pricing before purchase or deployment.
