Toolspoke vs Composio
Composio is a managed action layer: 1,500+ tool integrations behind one API, with an MCP interface on top. It is SaaS by default, and reaches for the same "agents calling real tools" problem Toolspoke does from the other direction — breadth of catalog first, self-hosting as an add-on rather than the default.
Toolspoke vs Composio
- Self-hosting
Toolspoke
Docker Compose and PostgreSQL 17, on every plan including Free.
Composio
Enterprise tier only. Hobby and Pro are SaaS-only; the public repo ships the SDK and CLI, not the runtime.
- Credential handling
Toolspoke
Decrypted inside the gateway per call, never reaches the client or the model, on every plan.
Composio
Vendor-held, AES-256-GCM at rest. Customer-managed keys are an Enterprise-only add-on.
- Audit log
Toolspoke
Every call writes a row — person, arguments, result, timing — on every plan including Free.
Composio
Per-call logging with user, team, tool, action and outcome, including denied calls.
- Pricing
Toolspoke
Free, or $19 per seat/month (Pro) with no seat cap.
Composio
Free (Hobby, capped at 3 team members) or $29/month flat (Pro, unlimited team members) plus usage overage.
- Cost for a 3-seat team
Toolspoke
$57/month (3 × Pro seat).
Composio
$29/month base (Pro), unaffected by seat count, plus any usage past the included credit.

What this buys you
Your own Postgres, your own credential store, your own audit log. Nothing above needs an account with us: the compose file is public, and the image is public on GHCR.
When to pick Composio instead
- You need the breadth of Composio's 1,500+ connector catalog today and self-hosting isn't a requirement.
- Your team is larger than 3 or 4 people and Composio's flat $29/month beats Toolspoke's per-seat Pro price for your headcount.
- You're comfortable with a managed credential store below the Enterprise tier.
Try Toolspoke on your own infrastructure
Start on the hosted Free plan, or self-host it from the start. Either way, the gateway, the credential store and the audit log are the same code.
