Caddi vs. WorktraceWorktrace records your team's screens to find the work. Caddi reads the tools and their history, so day one shows the last year.
Both start with discovery. Worktrace records screens from install day on; Caddi reads the tools and their history on day one, then runs the fixed steps as code.

A recorder only knows the work it was there for.
A desktop app sees the screen from the day it is installed. The quarter-end crunch, last year's onboarding wave and the work of the person on leave are not on the tape.
A desktop app on each machine records the screen, with personal information filtered, and maps the repetitive workflows into a roadmap within about a week.
Discover connects read-only to all of your tools and reads their history, so day one shows the last three months or the last year of repetitive work, ranked by hours. Nobody gets recorded.
Clicking through screens is not code.
Worktrace's agents use the computer the way a person does: they look at the screen and click through it, on every run. Caddi turns the fixed steps into code, so run 4,000 is the same as run 1.
Computer-use agents that work your apps on screen, in a virtual environment, and hand judgment steps back to a person.
Your ops team builds it in chat or on a screenshare, about 45 minutes on average. The fixed steps run as code on verified connections; AI handles only the judgment steps.
A custom quote and a two-week deployment is still a project.
Worktrace sells on a custom quote, deploys white-glove and promises first agents in two weeks. When the process changes, the change goes back through the same door.
Enterprise tiers on custom quotes, white-glove deployment, and agents exported to another builder when they leave the platform.
A free Individual plan with Discover and Automate, and published prices from Team up. Your ops team owns the agent, changes it in plain English when the work changes, and Govern logs every step of every run. 99% of agent runs complete.
Frequently asked questions
Is Caddi an alternative to Worktrace?
Yes. Both start with discovery and then build the agents, so a team evaluating one should look at the other. The differences are in how the work is found, how the agents run, and who owns them. Worktrace installs a desktop app that records the screen, builds computer-use agents that work the apps the way a person does, and sells on a custom quote with white-glove deployment. Caddi connects read-only to all of your tools and reads their history, lets your ops team build the agent in chat or on a screenshare, runs the fixed steps as code with AI only at the judgment steps, and starts free.
How is Caddi Discover different from Worktrace's discovery?
Worktrace's desktop app records work on the screen as it happens, redacts personal information on the device, aggregates the insights by team, and delivers a roadmap of use cases within about a week. It can only see work that happens after it is installed. Caddi Discover connects read-only to all of your tools and reads the history they already hold, so on day one you see the last three months, or the last year, of repetitive work ranked by hours. Nobody is recorded, and Discover keeps running and feeds Govern, so leadership sees what is automated today and what should be next.
Does Caddi record my team's screens?
No. Discover works from the tools, not from anyone's desktop. When your ops team builds an agent, the person who does the work can show it once on a screenshare they start themselves, or describe it in chat. There is no desktop app on every machine and nothing is captured in the background.
How do the agents run?
Worktrace's computer-use automations run in a live virtual environment, using the same apps and the same access as your team, with Smart Handoffs that return judgment steps to a person. Opportunities can also be exported as a spec to n8n, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Google Agentspace or another builder. A Caddi agent runs the fixed steps as code on verified connections and uses AI only where the work needs judgment, so the same input takes the same path every run and every step is on the record in Govern.
What does "no integrations" mean in practice?
For Worktrace it means the agent uses the computer the way a person does, so there is no API to connect, and every run depends on reading the screen. Caddi connects through the access your vendors already provide and verifies each connection before a workflow runs on it, so the fixed steps take the same path on every run and a changed screen does not change the result.
Is Worktrace ever the better choice?
Yes. Worktrace deploys in your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud tenant or fully on-premise, lets you bring your own model provider, covers VDI and Citrix, and offers a roadmap plus white-glove deployment with a 30% time-back-in-30-days promise. It cites more than 20 enterprises and 75,000 hours of work analyzed. If you run a large shared-services or BPO operation and want a vendor to deliver the roadmap and the agents for you, it is built for that. Caddi is the better fit when you want to find the work on day one without recording anyone, keep the ops team in control of the agents, and run deterministic agents on a published plan.
How does pricing compare?
Worktrace is a custom quote on three tiers (Foundation, Scale and Strategic), chosen by company size, compliance needs and automation goals, with no published prices and no free tier. Caddi's Individual plan is free and includes Discover and Automate. Team and above are published prices, and usage is bounded by the allowance in the plan you chose.
Can I try Caddi without a sales call?
Yes. Sign up for the free Individual plan, connect a tool, and Discover reads the repetitive work from its history the same day. Govern, the firm-wide view, starts on the Team plan. Worktrace starts with a demo request or its alpha waitlist.
