## Viktor vs Runbear

| Feature | Viktor | Competitor |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Surface | Slack and Microsoft Teams, in the channel where the work is already discussed. | Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, HubSpot and Zendesk as chat surfaces, plus an inbox agent on Gmail and Google Calendar. Dashboard for configuration. |
| Works for | The whole team. Anyone can tag Viktor; context belongs to the workspace. | The whole team can talk to a shared agent with per-user auth, but building is capped: 5 builders on Team, 10 on Business. |
| Who owns the job | Reads the request, uses connected tools, produces the deliverable, and reports back in the thread. | High for a chat-surface tool: multi-step tasks to a finished artifact in-thread, own file system, reusable skills, adaptive learning from feedback. |
| Memory | Shared workspace context. What one person teaches Viktor can help the team. | Knowledge bases from Notion, Confluence, Drive, Slack, SharePoint, websites and local files, plus agent memory with always-on compaction. |
| Tools | 9,800+ integrations, browser access, code execution, and published pages and apps. | 20 officially managed one-click MCP servers plus a community catalogue and custom MCP. |
| Price shape | Shared workspace credits from $100/month, without a subscription for each teammate. | Check Runbear's current plans for pricing, included usage, and availability. |
| Best for | Ongoing team work across your connected tools. | You want to configure shared agents across its supported communication and business channels. |
