Key differences
Ownership vs platform dependency
fluado gives you a server. You SSH in, you control OpenClaw, you decide what it does and how it does it. Your agent runs on infrastructure you control in European datacentres.
Agentforce runs inside Salesforce's proprietary cloud. Your agent, its data, its reasoning, its actions - all exist within Salesforce's platform. Migrating away from Salesforce means rebuilding your agent from scratch, as the configuration is not portable.
Transparent vs opaque pricing
fluado costs €9/month. That's it. No credits, no tiers, no sales call required.
Agentforce pricing is usage-based and contract-dependent. Getting a price requires a sales conversation.
Open source vs proprietary
OpenClaw is open source. You can inspect the code, contribute, fork it, or run it anywhere else. fluado simply hosts it for you.
Agentforce is proprietary. The Atlas Reasoning Engine, Agent Builder, and the entire platform are closed-source Salesforce products. Your agent's logic is expressed through Salesforce-specific constructs (Topics, Actions, Flows, Apex) that don't transfer outside the ecosystem.
European sovereign vs US corporate
fluado is a European company hosting in German datacentres. Your data stays in the EU under EU jurisdiction.
Salesforce is a US corporation headquartered in San Francisco. While Salesforce offers EU data residency options, the company remains subject to US law, including potential data access under the CLOUD Act.
Simple vs enterprise-complex
Setting up fluado takes under a minute. Setting up Agentforce requires an active Salesforce org, understanding of Topics and Actions, configuration of the Agent Builder, potentially MuleSoft for integrations, and likely an implementation partner.

Why choose fluado over an enterprise AI platform?
fluado gives you a running AI agent in under a minute for €9/month - no contracts, no sales calls, no ecosystem requirements.

Is fluado really €9/month with no hidden costs?
Yes. €9/month, cancel anytime. You bring your own LLM API key (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic), so LLM usage costs are separate and paid directly to your chosen provider - not marked up by fluado.
