Brea
Hosted personal agents with integrations, schedules and browser automation, free per its homepage.
Group: Personal agents you message
Brea documents hosted personal AI agents via its website, web dashboard and iOS app: scheduled workflows, app integrations, price and episode watching, browser automation that fills forms and books on websites.
The decision in plain English
Brea's homepage now says 'Free, with every feature included' and its pricing page redirects there; the earlier $9 Starter tier is no longer published. Browser automation with saved logins remains the capability to weigh carefully: scope what it can reach before connecting accounts.
Best fit
Scheduled personal automations (inbox summaries, price watches) and browser tasks across many integrations.
Poor fit
Saving site logins for an agent before reviewing its approval behaviour.
Documented capabilities
Vendor statements, not verified task outcomes.
Permissions and human control
- Integrations connect per app; Google integrations can be disconnected from the dashboard or iOS app, which deletes stored credentials, or revoked at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Saved site logins are stored encrypted, used only to sign in to that site, and can be replaced or deleted in Settings. A universal per-action approval gate was not established.
Documented controls do not prove that an agent always follows them.
Limits and open questions
- Browser automation quality and safety on real sites were not tested.
- Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription; that must be cancelled in iOS settings.
- Notifications can show the first 180 characters of a reply on the lock screen, depending on iOS settings.
- brea.ai runs Meta and OpenAI advertising pixels; on signup or subscription they receive hashed email, name and billing location (privacy policy, 23 October 2026).
Privacy and security
Privacy policy last updated 23 October 2026 (Brea AI LLC). Sign-in is via Apple or Google. Conversations and files are stored so the agent can work and are deleted when the account is deleted. Google user data is used only for requested features, is not used to develop, improve or train generalised AI/ML models, and model providers may not use it for training. Saved site logins are encrypted before storage and used only to sign in to that site. Named advertising trackers run on brea.ai: the Meta Pixel plus Conversions API and an OpenAI Ads measurement pixel plus Conversions API; on account and subscription events Meta receives hashed email, name and billing city, state and postal code, and OpenAI receives hashed email, account identifiers and billing city, country and postal code. Service providers include messaging delivery for SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp and Telegram. Account deletion removes agents and website-bought subscriptions but not App Store subscriptions; stored Google data can be deleted by emailing [email protected]. Checked 24 October 2026.
Feature-by-feature: what is documented and what is not

How to start with Brea narrowly
- Start on the Free tier with one integration and a single scheduled workflow.
- Verify the workflow output against your own inbox or account before trusting it.
- Review notification settings; reply previews can appear on the lock screen.
- Save site logins only for low-risk sites until its browser automation proves itself.
- Remember that account deletion does not cancel an App Store subscription.

How much does Brea cost?

How to evaluate Brea yourself
- Pick one low-risk task that matches its documented capabilities: scheduled workflows (for example a morning inbox summary).
- Write the expected output and what counts as failure before you start.
- Connect the minimum access needed, and check approval settings first.
- Run it twice and compare, then review every action it took.
- Check cost after any free allowance. Unknown price is not free.

- 2026-10-20: Initial documentation research from homepage, pricing page and privacy policy. No hands-on testing.
- 2026-10-22: Field-level audit: removed stale Free/Starter/Pro tier restrictions (pricing page gone; site advertises free with every feature). Dropped the image creation/editing capability, which no current Brea page documents. Privacy policy re-read (still 15 October 2026, claims unchanged: Google no-training, 90-day analytics deletion, account-deletion terms, App Store subscription caveat).
- 2026-10-24: Re-verified: 'Free, with every feature included' still on homepage. Privacy policy re-issued 23 October 2026 - new named advertising trackers (Meta Pixel/Conversions API, OpenAI Ads pixel/Conversions API receiving hashed email, name and billing location on signup/subscription), Apple/Google sign-in detail, encrypted saved logins, messaging delivery via SMS/iMessage/WhatsApp/Telegram. Integrations count now 2,200+.
Documentation overview expanded with current pricing/access sources. No hands-on results claimed.
