The agent test at a glance
Three plain checks from our PSA software comparison: does the AI act on your data with your approval, can your own AI work with the data, and is AI in the price.
| Tool | Acts on your data, with approval | Your own AI can work with the data | AI in the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agileday | Yes, the Agileday Agent | Yes, MCP and APIs | Included |
| Kantata | Claimed | Yes, MCP | Not disclosed |
| BigTime | No, assistant | API | Not disclosed |
| Accelo | Claimed | Yes, MCP | Not disclosed |
| Productive | Claimed | Yes, MCP | In tiers |
| Scoro | No, assistant | Yes, MCP | Monthly credits |
| Rocketlane | Claimed | Yes, MCP | Some agents extra |
| NetSuite SuiteProjects Pro | Suggestions | API | Not disclosed |
| Workday PSA | Suggestions | API; MCP announced | Not disclosed |
“Claimed” means the vendor announces agents but its pages don't confirm they are generally available. “Coming soon” and early access count as no. Checked Nov 2026; sources and method in our PSA software comparison.
The operational engine between your CRM and financial tool
Deals come in from the CRM, people get staffed by skills and availability, time cards are pre-filled, and invoices are generated from project and time data. The Agileday Agent works on the same data, does the work you ask for, and asks before it changes anything.

Four kinds of tools you will compare
Teams that evaluate Agileday usually look at four kinds of software. Each was built for a different job.
Traditional PSA tools
Traditional PSA tools such as Kantata and BigTime were largely designed before AI agents. Agileday is a next-generation, fully agentic platform where agents do operational work inside the same workflows people use.
All-in-one agency solutions
All-in-one agency solutions such as Accelo, Productive, and Scoro are mainly aimed at smaller businesses and may not work at a larger scale. Agileday serves firms with 50 to 10,000 people.
PSA add-ons to ERP suites
PSA add-ons to ERP suites such as Workday PSA, NetSuite PSA, and Microsoft Project Operations can lack some key capabilities and can easily become rigid and complex. Agileday is purpose-built for professional services.
Point solutions
Point solutions such as Float, Cinode, and Harvest typically cover one part of the work, such as resource planning, CVs, or time tracking, which can leave data disconnected and lead to complex integrations. Agileday connects sales, staffing, delivery, and finance in one data model.
Three more questions to ask every vendor
After the agent test, ask every tool on your shortlist the same three questions. Here is how Agileday answers them.
Does one data model run from deal to invoice?
Agileday keeps sales, staffing, delivery, and finance in one data model. Agileday flags margin loss to delivery leads before it hits the bottom line.
How soon is it live?
Agileday customers go live in weeks, not quarters. AI data migration moves existing data with minimal manual work. A senior onboarding team leads every step.
Is it secure enough for your clients' data?
Agileday is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Your data never trains third-party models.

Agileday serves 100+ consultancies and agencies across North America and Europe. Its customers are firms with 50 to 10,000 people.
