[Get started with Jentic One](/jentic-one#install)[View on GitHub](https://github.com/jentic/jentic-one) At a glance ## Jentic One vs Composio, feature by feature A side-by-side look at how each tool handles the things that matter when an AI agent calls real APIs.

To be clear about naming: Jentic One is the full product name, Jentic’s self-hosted agent broker. It is not the only tool called “One”, so this page uses the full name throughout. Head to head ## Jentic One vs Composio, honestly Composio is a polished, popular hosted platform with a huge ready-made toolkit catalog and a generous free tier. Jentic One is a self-hosted broker built for teams that cannot let credentials or logs leave their own environment. Here is where each is genuinely stronger. ### Jentic One Self-hosted, open-source agent broker. Credentials and audit stay on your infrastructure. Strengths - Self-hosted, so your API keys and your users’ OAuth tokens never leave your own infrastructure. - Per-agent, per-operation rules with writes denied by default. Governance you control, not a vendor. - Append-only audit of every allowed and denied agent call, on your own instance, standard on every tier. - A directory of 10,000+ APIs, and you can import any private or niche API by its OpenAPI spec. - Open source under Apache-2.0, so the broker that holds your credentials is auditable and forkable. - Credentials injected at call time, so the agent only ever receives the result of an allowed call. Trade-offs - You run the instance yourself on the open-source tier, though Jentic One Enterprise can run it for you. - Public beta, with a younger ecosystem than Composio. - No hosted, connect-at-runtime OAuth convenience. You set up the credentials you need. ### Composio Hosted platform giving agents pre-authenticated access to 1,500+ managed toolkits. Strengths - Large managed catalog of 1,500+ pre-built, pre-authenticated toolkits, with zero integration work. - Managed OAuth with connect-at-runtime, for fast time-to-value and no credential infra to run. - Generous free tier: 100,000 tool calls and 50,000 triggers a month, no card required. - MCP-native: expose any session as a hosted MCP endpoint for Claude, Cursor, and more. Trade-offs - Hosted and multi-tenant, so by default your users’ credentials are brokered and held on Composio’s backend. - Only the SDKs are MIT. The backend that holds credentials is proprietary and cannot be self-hosted. - Customer-managed keys are gated to the Enterprise tier. - Usage-metered pricing and a vendor-owned integration surface raise switching cost. Bottom line: Choose Composio for the fastest path to a broad, managed toolkit catalog with hosted OAuth. Choose Jentic One when credentials and audit logs cannot leave your environment, and you need per-operation control over what an agent can touch. ## Keep your credentials in-house Install Jentic One on your own infrastructure and control exactly what each agent can touch. [Get started with Jentic One](/jentic-one#install) Where they differ ## Self-hosted broker, not a hosted tool platform Composio hosts the integrations and holds the credentials for you. Jentic One runs on your own infrastructure and governs the agent as the caller, so credentials and the append-only audit trail stay with you. - ### Self-hosted You run Jentic One on your own infrastructure. Credentials and the audit log live only on your instance, never with a hosted provider. - ### Credentials injected at execution You store a credential once and the broker injects it at call time, so the agent never sees the key and only receives the result of an allowed call. - ### Per-agent, per-operation rules You bound each agent to the operations it needs. Writes are never allowed by default, and how granular this gets depends on the API. - ### Append-only audit on your instance Every allowed and denied call is logged in an append-only trail on your own instance, because the broker is the only path to any API. [See Jentic One](/jentic-one)[Browse the Jentic API Directory](/apis) FAQ ## Jentic One vs Composio Jentic One is Jentic’s self-hosted agent broker: a credential-injecting broker you run on your own infrastructure. Your agent calls any public or private API you need, you set per-agent rules, and it never sees your credentials. Every call is logged on your own instance. It is open source under Apache-2.0. No. Composio is a platform that gives agents hosted access to a catalog of tools and integrations. Jentic One is a self-hosted agent broker you run yourself, so credentials and audit logs never leave your infrastructure, with per-agent rules and an append-only audit trail. Yes. You run Jentic One on your own infrastructure, on any machine that can run Docker, on-prem or in your own cloud. It is open source under Apache-2.0. Composio’s SDKs are open source under MIT, but the backend that brokers and holds your credentials is proprietary and runs on Composio’s own cloud, with no documented way to self-host it. With Jentic One the whole broker runs on your infrastructure, so credentials and audit logs never leave your environment. By default Composio brokers and stores your users’ connected-account credentials on its multi-tenant backend. Jentic One stores credentials on your own self-hosted instance and injects them at call time, so the agent never sees a key and the keys never leave your infrastructure. For teams that cannot let credentials or logs leave their own environment, Jentic One is the strongest alternative: a self-hosted, Apache-2.0 agent broker with per-agent and per-operation rules and an append-only audit log on your instance. Composio stays ahead on breadth and speed, with 1,500+ pre-built managed toolkits and hosted OAuth, so the right choice depends on whether you optimise for control or for time-to-value. Composio’s client SDKs are open source under MIT, but the backend that brokers and stores credentials is proprietary and runs on Composio’s cloud, and it cannot be self-hosted. Jentic One is open source under Apache-2.0 in full, including the broker that holds your credentials, so you can audit, fork and run it yourself. Composio has a free tier (around 100,000 tool calls and 50,000 triggers a month) and then usage-metered paid tiers, with customer-managed keys reserved for Enterprise. Jentic One is free and open source to self-host, with Jentic One Enterprise available for a managed, supported deployment. Always check each vendor’s current pricing page for exact figures. By default Composio’s managed auth brokers and holds your users’ connected-account credentials on its multi-tenant backend, and customer-managed keys are an Enterprise feature. With Jentic One the keys never leave your self-hosted instance: the broker injects each credential at call time so the agent only ever receives the result of an allowed call. ![]()![]() BOOK A DEMO ## Run your own agent broker Install Jentic One on your own infrastructure and keep credentials and audit with you.
