You searched for "fluado vs Connic." Both are German companies, both host in the EU, both talk about the EU AI Act, and both use the word "agent" a lot. But you're comparing two fundamentally different things: infrastructure to run agents you build, versus agents that already do work.
What does Connic actually give you?
Connic gives you agent-native infrastructure: observability, guardrails, human-in-the-loop approvals, cost tracking, and pre-built connectors. You define agents in YAML, write tools in Python, and deploy through Git. A tool can be custom code, a pre-built connector, or any MCP server. The connectors cover webhooks, queues such as Kafka and SQS, databases, schedules, Stripe, email, Telegram, S3 and WebSocket. Models can be Connic's own EU-resident endpoints or your own provider keys.
That model requires the engineering team, the AI expertise, and the time to build, test, and maintain every agent yourself.
fluado deploys agents that handle operational work from day one. A product specification arrives in Outlook — the agent reads it, validates it against your quality standards in SharePoint, flags exceptions, and routes the result to the right person in Teams. You didn't build that agent. You didn't write YAML. You didn't deploy through Git. You described the work, and the agent does it.
Who builds and maintains the agents?
With Connic, your team builds agents, writes tools in Python, manages prompt configurations, monitors traces, and handles production incidents. The platform provides the infrastructure. The work of creating, testing, and maintaining agents stays with you.
With fluado, you work with our team to define what operational work should be automated. We deploy the agents. We handle the monitoring, the audit trails, and the compliance documentation. When something needs adjusting, you talk to us — not to your engineering backlog.
Connic's model assumes you have a platform engineering team that wants to run agentic workloads and needs production infrastructure for it. fluado's assumes you need operational work done and don't want to staff an AI engineering team to make it happen.
Who carries the EU AI Act deployer obligations?
Connic provides EU-only hosting, a DPA and SLA, and governance tooling — execution logs, approvals, guardrails, and hash-verifiable evidence exports mapped to deployer obligations. That's real tooling. But it's tooling your team operates: you register the systems, configure the controls, and assemble the evidence. The deployer accountability for what your agents decide — including the Article 14 human oversight requirements — stays with you, because you're the one building and deploying the agents.
fluado is a managed service. We deploy the agents, we build the audit trails, we maintain the compliance documentation. When a regulator asks about the agent's decisions, the answer isn't "our internal team built it on Connic." It's a structured log maintained by fluado, together with you.
Who we are
fluado is a German company. When you work with us, you work with the founding team. Our phone number is on the website. We pick up.
If your challenge is operational — document reviews, compliance checks, specification management — and you want the work done, not the tools to eventually build something that might do the work, that's what we built fluado for.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build fluado-like agents on Connic?
Technically, yes — Connic provides the runtime infrastructure, traces, and pre-built connectors. But the agent itself is yours to build: the document parsing, the business rule application, the workflow logic that understands your quality standards and your processes — and yours to test and maintain in production. Connic gives you the platform. fluado gives you the result.
Does fluado use Connic under the hood?
No. fluado runs on its own infrastructure, managed by our team. We don't resell or white-label third-party agent runtimes.
How does Connic's pricing compare to fluado's?
Connic meters projects and runs rather than seats: a free Basic tier with a €20 one-time welcome credit and roughly 500 runs a month, Developer at €40 a month including €40 of project credit and roughly 1,000 runs, Pro at €200 a month including €200 of credit and roughly 5,000 runs, and Enterprise on request, which is where SSO/SAML and compliance support sit. Annual prepayment takes 10% off a one-year subscription and 25% off two years, though the included credit stays the same. Your costs scale with how much your agents run, and the engineering time to build them sits on top. fluado uses transparent project-based pricing — no runs to meter, no credit balance to top up. Contact us for a quote based on your specific process.
Both mention the EU AI Act. Who actually handles compliance?
Connic provides features that support compliance — EU hosting, a DPA, execution logs, approvals, and governance evidence exports. The compliance responsibility for what your agents do still sits with you, the deployer: the tooling records what happened, but your team builds the agents, configures the controls, and answers for the decisions. fluado is a managed service where we share that responsibility. We maintain the audit logs, decision trails, and compliance documentation that the EU AI Act requires for autonomous AI systems.
Which is right for my enterprise?
The decision is build vs buy. Connic is built and priced for teams that will write and operate the agents themselves: you supply the engineers, and the deployer record stays with your organisation. fluado is for organisations that need operational work automated and want the agents deployed, operated and documented for them, with the audit trail maintained on their behalf.
