It comes down to the phones you need, how many hours they run, and who writes the agent.
2.0Choosing
01
Choose Axilio if
- ✓Your agent needs a physical Android phone on a carrier network, not a virtual one.
- ✓Phones run for hours a day, so a flat monthly price beats paying for minutes and credits.
- ✓You want to write the agent yourself on plain primitives (observe, find, tap, type, swipe), with any model.
- ✓You need a recording and a step-by-step trace of every session to debug or audit what the agent did.
- ✓You run one saved workflow across many phones in parallel.
02
Choose Mobilerun if
- ✓You need iPhones. Axilio is Android only.
- ✓You want an open-source framework to run on phones you already own.
- ✓Usage is light, so a free tier or a minutes-based plan costs less.
- ✓You want an agent that takes plain-language goals out of the box.
