There is no free plan: “Tasklet requires payment to use.” It’s one price for the whole workspace, and one-time credit packs are also sold ($5 per 1,600 credits, $25 minimum). Tasklet’s price includes AI use, measured in credits per request. Murage is free but doesn’t include the AI: add the AI plan or key you bring. Claude Pro is $20 a month billed monthly; any plan or key you already have works instead. Prices from official pricing pages, billed monthly unless noted, checked October 9, 2026.

What Murage adds for a Tasklet user.
The brief
“Go through my inbox before I get in. Draft replies in my voice. Send nothing.”
What came back
Twelve emails came in. The team drafted eight replies, set four aside, and left two questions only the owner could answer. Nothing was sent.
Needs from you, in the team’s own report
- Dana Brooks, Acme Studio · RenewalThe prior contract terms
- Jordan Lee, Brightline Design · Pricing for 20 seatsThe per-seat price, and whether we offer a pilot
- Priya S. · Export to PDF?Confirm the exact steps
- Ben C. · Refund requestMoney. Check the billing record first
Uses the AI you already pay for
If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, Murage runs on that plan rather than a second pool of credits.
Memory on your computer
Your team’s memory is stored on your machine, not in a vendor’s cloud.
Open source, on Windows and Linux too
Public code and three desktop platforms.

Same job, both ways.
Five real jobs, walked through with Murage and with Tasklet.
- 1
Draft replies to unread support email
With Murage
Ember sends an inbox bot through your connected mail. It drafts replies, and it asks before anything is sent.
With Tasklet
You describe the goal and connect Gmail. Tasklet drafts the replies, and you can have it run on any new email.
- 2
Enrich every new CRM contact
With Murage
This is Tasklet’s ground. Murage runs while your computer is on, so for a trigger on every new row in the cloud, keep it in Tasklet. A routine can cover the same job on a schedule.
With Tasklet
An agent reacts to each new CRM row in the cloud, around the clock, with its own isolated environment.
- 3
Pull an invoice from a supplier portal with no API
With Murage
Murage for Chrome works in your own signed-in Chrome, in the tabs you share. A bot works in the tab you share and asks before it submits anything.
With Tasklet
The agent opens its browser, signs in to the portal and downloads the invoice.
- 4
Build a weekly metrics dashboard
With Murage
Ember sends a data bot and a builder. The dashboard lands as a web page file in your folder, and a routine refreshes the numbers each Monday.
With Tasklet
Ask for it in a prompt and Tasklet builds an instant app wired to live data that your team can open.
- 5
Do the same job every week
With Murage
Correct a bot once and the correction becomes a lesson. You can open it, edit it or undo it before next week’s run.
With Tasklet
Set a schedule such as every Monday morning, and the agent runs in the cloud with its shared memory.
Already using Tasklet: your first day with Murage
You do not need to export anything from Tasklet. Start Murage next to it and move jobs over one at a time.
- 1
Install Murage on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer.
- 2
Pick the engine for your first bot: the AI plan you already pay for, a local model or an API key.
- 3
Meet Ember, your Chief of Staff, and describe the agent you rely on most in Tasklet.
- 4
Connect the apps that job touches. If an app is missing, a bot works out the connection itself.
- 5
Let the first run ask before it sends anything, then correct what you want changed and watch the lesson appear. Keep cloud triggers in Tasklet, or run your team on Murage Cloud.
Questions about Murage and Tasklet.
Can I try Murage before paying for anything?
Yes. The desktop app is open source; Murage Cloud is an optional paid hosted service. Your AI plan or key is separate.
AGPL scares my company. Should it?
Running Murage unmodified inside your company doesn’t require you to publish anything, and the license covers Murage’s code, not the work your bots produce. AGPL’s source-sharing duty applies if you change Murage and distribute it, or let other people use your changed version over a network: then you share those changes. It also means nobody, including us, can take the code closed later. This isn’t legal advice; have your counsel read the license.
