Composio alternative
A Composio Alternative Priced by People, Not Tool Calls
Composio is a developer platform: 1,500+ toolkits, managed OAuth, triggers, and sessions that hand your code an MCP URL per user. Billing follows tool calls, trigger events, and add-ons. Managed MCP is for the team that does not want to write that code. One hosted address, access granted per person and per tool, a flat price per person, and connectors you attach once.
What makes it different
- A flat price per person
- Unlimited tool calls and connectors
- No SDK code to write or maintain
- Access ticked per person and tool
- Credentials stay on the gateway
- Hosted and run by our team

Who Runs It
Inside the Monthly Management Fee
Composio meters tool calls, trigger events, and several add-ons. Our fee is per person, and connectors and assistants are unlimited.
- A managed gateway hosted and run by our team
- Unlimited connectors attached once, centrally
- Unlimited assistants and agents
- Local and remote providers in one tool list
- Per person, per tool access grants
- Token authenticated connectors
- Credentials stored server side
- Named client identity for each connection
- Live connection reporting
- Access changes that apply without reconnecting
Where a Flat Price per Person Wins
Usage pricing is fair for a product with customers. For an internal team it can feel like paying for the traffic of your own staff.
No Meter to Watch
Composio Pro includes 100K tool calls a month, then $0.0003 each. A looping agent can cross that overnight. Hobby pauses at its cap instead. With us, calls are not counted.
One Address Rather Than a URL per User
Composio generates server URLs that carry a user ID and need an x-api-key header. Our gateway is one entry people add once.
Fewer Things for Developers to Own
Sessions, auth configs, allowed tool lists, and versioned toolkits are tools for builders. A managed gateway keeps those off your engineering backlog.
Honest About Composio’s Reach
Composio lists 1,500+ toolkits, SSO and SCIM on Enterprise, and add-ons such as BAA and zero data retention. If you need that catalog or those controls, it is the stronger platform.
Who Should Read This Comparison
Teams Whose Agent Usage Is Hard to Predict
The Pro plan adds trigger events at $0.003 each after 50K and charges more for Composio-managed apps. Forecasting a month is guesswork until you have data.
Companies with many people and a handful of tools
Composio Pro allows unlimited team members, but billing follows calls. Our price follows heads, which is easier to budget when the tools are known.
Groups That Want Governance Without Writing It
Allowed tools in Composio are set in code or the dashboard. Granting tools per person through a screen is quicker for an operations lead.
Choose Composio if
- You build agent products with many integrations
- You need SSO, SCIM, or a BAA available
- Your developers want sessions and SDKs
Choose Cascadia if
- You want a flat price your finance team can plan
- Your tool list is known and your people vary
- You want no integration code to maintain
How a Move from Composio Runs
- 1
List the Toolkits and the People
We note which Composio toolkits you use, which user IDs map to real people, and which tools each one actually needs.
- 2
Attach the Same Providers to the Gateway
Your own servers join by address. Credentials move onto the gateway once, so nobody keeps a copy in code or environment files.
- 3
Grant Tools per Person
Each person receives whole connectors or selected tools. The test is that two people on the same address see different lists.
- 4
Point clients at one address and retire the rest
Switch each assistant to the gateway entry, confirm with the live report, then remove the generated URLs and spare API keys.

Composio Alternative Questions
How Composio bills, what it asks developers to build, and where a managed gateway differs.
See MCP RouterStill have a question?
What does Composio cost?
Hobby is $0 with 100K tool calls a month. Pro is $29 a month with the same 100K, then $0.0003 per call, plus a $29 monthly usage credit without rollover. Enterprise is custom. New pricing started August 15, 2026 (October 2026).
What happens if I exceed Composio limits?
On Hobby, usage pauses at the cap. On Pro, you pay overage and can set spend caps. Trigger events past 50K are $0.003 each on Pro, so a chatty automation matters (October 2026).
Does Composio charge for connected accounts?
Connected accounts are unlimited and free on Hobby and Pro. For Composio-managed apps, the first 1K are free and then $0.10 one time each on paid plans. The footnotes matter more than the headline (October 2026).
Which features need the Enterprise plan?
SSO and SCIM, customer managed keys, included advanced white labeling, an included BAA and MSA, included IP allowlist and zero data retention, custom integrations, and dedicated support with custom SLAs (October 2026).
How does Composio generate an MCP URL?
You create an MCP server with an auth config and an allowed tools list, then generate a URL carrying a user ID. Clients send an x-api-key header, which is required by default for new organizations. Users authenticate toolkits first (October 2026).
Does Composio recommend MCP servers or sessions?
Its docs say a regular session is preferred for most use cases, because sessions offer dynamic tool access and context management. MCP servers are described as the single toolkit route (October 2026).
What support does Composio give?
Hobby gets a portal. Pro adds email and Slack, with a $1K figure listed beside Slack. Enterprise lists dedicated support and custom SLAs. Read the page for what the $1K refers to (October 2026).
Is Composio SOC 2 certified?
Their pricing page does not mention SOC 2, so we will not say either way. It does state that a DPA is included on Pro and Enterprise and a BAA is a Pro add-on (October 2026).
How is Managed MCP priced?
Per person, per month, for the people who actually use it. Connectors and assistants are unlimited, so adding a tool or an agent never changes the bill. Adding a person does.
Can your gateway handle 1,500 integrations?
No. We attach the connectors you choose, ones we host or ones you run, and you decide who reaches them. If you need Composio’s whole catalog for a product, use Composio.
When should we stay on Composio?
When your agents are a product feature, you need triggers, managed OAuth across many apps, and compliance add-ons, and your developers like the session model. A gateway would not replace that.
Where do credentials live with your gateway?
On the server. They are not copied into each person’s assistant configuration, so rotating one is a single edit and a leaver holds nothing to leak.
Can we use it with Claude Desktop and similar clients?
Yes. Add the gateway as a connector and it appears as one entry exposing every tool you have been granted. The same works in any MCP compatible client.
What happens to users already set up in Composio?
We list your user IDs and match them to real people, then grant tools to those people on the gateway. Their old URLs are retired once each assistant is switched and confirmed.
How do we remove someone?
In one place. Because everyone connects through the same endpoint, revoking a person is a single action, not a search through generated URLs and API keys.
