Spark is the cheapest way into agent work, because it is included in a subscription many people already pay for. It also runs on your machine, and that single fact is the whole comparison.

A browser agent on our servers with a Chrome profile of your own, and a toolbelt that writes the files on the server.
Google's personal agent, bundled with Google AI Pro, driving the Chrome on your own computer.
The lines that actually change the day, not a feature count.
| Katteb | Gemini Spark | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A browser agent with its own real Chrome profile on our servers, plus a toolbelt for files, data and media. | A personal agent across Google Workspace that can auto browse in Chrome. |
| Where the browser runs | On Katteb's servers, always on, one dedicated profile per account. | The Chrome on your own computer. |
| Your signed-in accounts | You sign in once inside your own agent browser and the session stays. | Your own Chrome profile and saved passwords. |
| Exit IP address | A static ISP address tied to your host, the same one on every run. | Your home or office address. |
| CAPTCHA | Solved inside the run. | You are there to solve it. |
| Price before you run it | The plan card shows the hold (200 credits) before you press Run. | Bundled in the subscription and metered as tasks a day. |
| A task that fails | Not charged at all, and the hold comes straight back. | Counts against the daily task limit. |
| Ceiling on one task | 1,500 credits a task on the entry plan, and we absorb the rest. | Up to 20 Auto Browse tasks a day on Pro, 200 on Ultra. |
| Scheduling | Daily, weekly, or only when you click. | Background work across Google Workspace. |
| Files it produces | PowerPoint with real charts, PDF, CSV, images, video, music, and voice notes in your own recorded voice. | Docs, Sheets and Slides in Google Workspace. |
| Where you talk to it | Web, an installable app, Telegram and Slack. | The Gemini app and Chrome. |
| Entry price | $19 a month, agents included. | $20 a month with Google AI Pro. |

Not features we counted. Three decisions in the architecture.
Your agent works in its own Chrome profile on our server, from a static IP, and stays signed in between one task and the next. The others either open a fresh sandbox per task and inject your session into it, or drive the browser on your own laptop, which then has to be awake. A task that runs on LinkedIn at 3am needs a steady identity, not a new sandbox.
A task holds 200 credits and settles at what it really cost, and a task that fails is charged nothing. The rest of this category bills from a credit pool that drains whether the task worked or not, with no budget stop to catch it.
Send a message while a task is running and it is delivered to the agent mid-flight rather than queued for the next one. When it hits a login wall or a real decision it stops and asks you instead of guessing. Press Stop and it wraps up, hands you the report and the files it already made, and charges only for the part that ran.
The loudest complaint in this whole category is that the price only appears after it is gone. Here is the entire policy.
Before it runs
It holds 200 credits, then you pay what the run really cost.
If it fails
You are charged nothing. Stop it halfway and you pay for the part that ran.
The ceiling
1,500 credits a task on the entry plan, and we absorb the rest.
It depends on the work. For personal errands it is convenient and private. For business work it means your home address and your personal Chrome profile are what the site sees, your machine has to stay awake, and a teammate cannot take the task over. Katteb puts that browser on a server with its own static ISP address instead.
Yes, through the browser today: Sheets, Docs, Drive and Gmail in your own signed-in session. One-click Google OAuth is on the roadmap and will make the common jobs faster.
There is no daily task count. Usage is metered in credits, a run holds 200 and settles at real cost, and plans carry a monthly allowance. A failed run is charged nothing.
Google states that payments and social media posts require manual confirmation. If the job is to publish on a schedule without you in the room, that is the line where the two products separate.
The same lines, against other platforms.
A cloud agent on its own virtual machine, with an extension that can drive the browser on your laptop.
The strongest general model, with a cloud browser attached to it.
An all-in-one super agent for research, slides, sheets and outbound calls, with its own AI browser.
An agent builder for business workflows: inbox, calendar, meetings and a hundred connected apps.
Agents inside the automation platform that connects seven thousand apps.
Every plan includes the agents, from $19 a month. A free account opens the whole model catalogue to try in chat, and an agent run starts when a plan does.
