The longer answer
What is Relevance AI?
Relevance AI is a platform for building AI agents and teams of agents, with a strong focus on sales and go-to-market work such as prospect research and outreach. Tasks can run automatically, wait for approval or escalate when the agent is unsure. Its Enterprise plan lists agent evaluations, A/B testing, triggers and calling and meeting agents.
Where Relevance AI is stronger
Go-to-market depth. Its templates and tools for prospecting and outbound are more developed than Orkeste's, and it can research on the web, which Orkeste agents cannot.
Where Orkeste is different
Orkeste is horizontal: the same workspace runs support triage in Zendesk, sprint digests from Jira, payment follow-ups from Stripe and onboarding emails from Outlook. Pricing is a public monthly plan with credits and budgets per agent, and data is hosted in the EU.
Honest bottom line
Choose Relevance AI if your agents are mainly about sales and need web research. Choose Orkeste if you want agents across teams in your existing tools, on a self-serve plan with EU hosting.

Frequently asked questions
Is Orkeste an alternative to Relevance AI?
For teams that want agents beyond sales on a self-serve plan, yes. For a sales-first motion with many ready-made GTM agents, Relevance AI is more specialised.
Do both have human approval?
Yes. Relevance AI can run a task in approval mode or let the agent escalate when unsure. Orkeste sends the actions you choose to the Validations queue.
How does pricing compare?
Orkeste plans include a monthly credit allowance: Free with 500 credits, Starter at €9.99 with 5,000, Pro at €39.99 with 25,000 and Business on quote. A run uses from 2 credits with Claude Haiku 5.5 to 235 with Claude Fable 5.1. Relevance AI's pricing page shows an Enterprise plan on quote, with vendor credits for model usage; check relevanceai.com for current plans.
Does Orkeste do sales agents?
Yes. Agents read inbound emails, check HubSpot or Salesforce, draft replies and update the CRM, with each email waiting for a rep's approval. They do not research prospects on the web or LinkedIn.
