LearningFlow LearningFlow vs Runable
Runable is a capable agent that writes and runs code in a sandbox, then hands back a deck, a spreadsheet, a report or a live website with its own domain. Every account belongs to one person, and a school or training team needs the organisation to hold the work, the budget and the learners.

Choose Runable if
Runable is the right call when one person needs a finished, working thing and nobody has to administer it.
- A consultant needs a booking site live by Friday, with a database, Stripe checkout and a custom domain.
- The job needs the open web, such as scraping a supplier list or installing a package the agent picked.
- You want the agent answering in the Slack channel your team already uses, or in Discord, Telegram or iMessage.
Choose LearningFlow if
LearningFlow is the right call when an organisation, rather than a person, has to own the work and the bill.
- A college buys credits once and every department draws on the same organisation wallet, with no personal subscriptions.
- Year 7 join with a code, complete the assignment, and the results land in the school's own LRS.
- A partner in Malaysia sells it to their own schools in ringgit, drawing on a wholesale pool you price.
Where the two are built differently.
The account holds the work.
Someone has to ask her to hand it over, or it goes with her.
The work was made on a personal login, so recovering it is a favour rather than a setting. Schools discover this in August, when the person who built the scheme of work no longer answers email.
The organisation holds the work.
Ms Okafor's key is revoked. The work has not moved.
People hold keys, not possessions. Removing someone removes their key. Whoever teaches 6C next September opens the same library and the same base, on their first morning, without asking anyone for a copy.
What each one does.
Written from each product's own documentation. Where something is true only on a higher tier, the row says so.
| Runable | LearningFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Internet in the sandbox | Every chat gets an isolated machine where the agent runs bash and installs packages with npm, pip or bun. | Work with AI runs Python, LibreOffice and Chromium on a sandboxed Linux machine with the network switched off. |
| Ships a public product | Every website ships deployed: a live public URL, a database, Stripe payments, a custom domain, and built-in SEO and analytics. | Solution Designer publishes an app at its own address with its own sign-in, and a public app gets a read-only contract by default. |
| Where the agent lives | Claw puts the agent in Slack, Telegram, iMessage and Discord, so a task starts in the chat app your team already uses. | Published apps send through Gmail, Resend and WhatsApp, but the agent itself does not sit in Slack or Teams. |
| Model choice | Free, Pro and Max list the same roster, including GPT 6 Astra, Claude Opus 5, Gemini 3.5 Flash and Grok 4.6. | Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek among others, with no plan gate and only an organisation admin able to trim the list. |
| Learner accounts | Every account is personal, the terms ask for 18 or legal capacity to contract, and there are no class or submission mechanics. | Students are a first-class user type with their own accounts, join codes and assignments. |
| Buying for a team | There are no team or organisation accounts, so thirty staff means thirty personal accounts at $20 a month. | One organisation wallet of credits, kept separate from any member's personal wallet, with no subscription required. |
| Called by your software | No public API or developer portal is documented, and runable.com/api returns 404. | POST /task/:taskId with an x-api-key, optional SSE streaming, and usage reported per key. |
| Reselling it onward | Sold direct to individuals and very small businesses, with no sub-accounts and no local currency billing. | Sub-organisations sit under an enterprise with wholesale credit pools, per-currency rates, volume tiers, Stripe and senangPay. |
A role, not a set of switches.
Everyone inside gets the product. If a feature is not right for a group — thirteen-year-olds, or a department mid-pilot — the answer is to not give them an account at all.
Seven switches, per group.
Year 7 opens the library and can chat. They cannot build apps or reach the database. Change your mind at 9am and it is different at 9.01, for that group only — without removing anyone's account.
One part of the job, done well.
This is a good product at what it does. The question for a school is what else is on the invoice: each remaining job is another product, another bill, another set of logins, and a handover you do by hand every time.
Idea to a class that has done it.
One login, one pool of credits, one place the spending shows up. A video drops into a lesson, the lesson becomes an assignment, the assignment writes to a base and an app reads it — nothing is exported and re-imported.
What comes with it here.
59 tools already built
A public gallery covers lesson plans, marking rubrics, quizzes, worksheets, report comments, text levelling and questions from a YouTube video.
A narrated whiteboard video
One sentence becomes an MP4 in marker, sticker or slides style, with subtitles as a sidecar .srt or burned in. You correct a scene before it renders, and only that scene is drawn again.
Documents as .docx
Work with AI returns a .docx you can edit and an .xlsx whose formulas still calculate. Runable exports PDF, PPTX, XLSX and CSV, with no Word file among them.
A contract per app
One solution can run a client app, a webhook and a nightly scheduler over the same base, each grant scoped to named tables and columns with an expiry.
Where Runable is the better choice
If one capable person needs to ship a working thing this month, Runable is the better buy. Its sandbox has the internet, so it installs packages, reads live pages, and deploys a website with a database, Stripe checkout and your own domain. LearningFlow's sandbox runs offline, and its published apps are made for people inside the organisation rather than for selling to the public. A solo consultant, an agency or a content creator will also find Runable quicker, because there is nothing to set up before the first task.
The whole stack against Runable.
The table above compares the two at the job they share. This one runs every capability past both, because what a school is choosing between is usually a tool that does one job and a workspace that does many. Hover any mark to see what it means, and a partial one to see exactly what is limited.

Before they decide.
Can we buy Runable for the whole staff and manage it from one place?
No. Runable's pricing page lists only Free, Pro at $20 a month and Max at $100, with no team plan, no seats and no shared billing. An archived copy of its documentation says the same: no team or organisation accounts. Thirty staff means thirty personal accounts, each with its own credits and its own card.
Can we run both, and can we move work across?
Running both is sensible. Keep Runable for the person building a public site, and use LearningFlow for anything the organisation pays for or hands to students. Nothing moves automatically between them, though Runable exports finished files as PDF, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, PNG or MP4, which you upload here. Note that Runable's documentation no longer resolves at docs.runable.com, so older links fail and the live pricing and terms pages are the ones to check.
Is model choice limited by plan on either product?
No, on both, and that is a fair point for Runable. Free, Pro and Max list the same roster, including GPT 6 Astra, Claude Opus 5 and Gemini 3.5 Flash, with plans differing in credits rather than access. LearningFlow does not gate models by plan either; Flow Designer reaches Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek among others, and the only gate is an organisation admin trimming the list.
Can students use Runable?
Not as learners. The terms ask users to be 18, or old enough to enter a contract, and the privacy notice is not intended for under-13s. Either way, no published page describes a learner account type, a class roster or a way to submit work. LearningFlow gives students their own accounts, join codes and assignments.
What does Runable do that LearningFlow does not?
Three things. Its sandbox has the internet, so it installs packages and reads live pages, while Work with AI works offline on the files you give it. It deploys websites with a database, Stripe checkout and your own domain, ready to take payments the day they go live. And through Claw it answers inside Slack, Telegram, iMessage and Discord.
