Side by side
| Axis | Dash | Runbear |
|---|---|---|
| Who can set it up for a team | No limit. Any member can connect a tool and start asking. Edge | Builders create and manage agents. The Team plan includes 5 and the Business plan 10, though Runbear's pricing page says "No seat tax". Tradeoff |
| Who decides what waits for approval | Nobody has to. Routine changes wait by default, and an authorized teammate can switch one from Ask to Auto so it runs without waiting. Edge | The builder. They switch actions on or off for each tool, and approval steps, like the Approve, Edit and Reject buttons in Runbear's CRM recipe, come from instructions they write. Tradeoff |
| Unused credits | Roll over month to month while the subscription is active. Edge | Plan credits reset each billing cycle. Tradeoff |

How Dash works
DM Dash or mention it in the channel where the work already lives.
It reads the relevant channel context, memory, files, and connected tools.
Reports, docs, dashboards, CRM updates, emails, PR reviews, or summaries.
Review actions according to your connection permissions and task approval settings.
The result lands in Slack or Microsoft Teams with owners, links, and next steps attached.
The format and preference become part of the team rhythm for next time.
In chat
Illustrative workflows, not customer results. Numbers are examples; execution depends on connected tools, permissions, and approval settings.
Dana 10:05 AM
@Dash add Sam Ortiz to the onboarding sheet: starts November 17, needs a laptop and a second monitor.
Dash App
Here's the row I'll add to "New hires" in the onboarding sheet:
Add 1 row to the onboarding sheet
Nothing changes in Google Drive until someone approves.
Why it wins
The HR team didn't need anyone to build them an agent. Dana asked in plain words and got the row back to check.
Raj 2:40 PM
@Dash refund Lena Park's last charge in Stripe. Her order arrived damaged.
Dash App
Found it: $40.00 on October 28 for order 1186.
Refund $40.00 in Stripe
Waits for Priya, who approves Stripe actions.
Why it wins
Raj handles the customer and Priya owns the money. She set that split once, when she connected Stripe.
Leo 4:15 PM
@Dash which HubSpot customers renew in the next 30 days? Draft each of them a renewal reminder.
Dash App
Three renew before November 30. I've drafted a reminder for each:
Send 3 renewal emails
Ask me to change any draft before you approve.
Why it wins
Looking up renewals in HubSpot ran straight away. Sending the emails waits for an OK. That split is Dash's default, not a setting Leo had to find.

Where Dash is better
Runbear's own docs say a team agent "acts on its own." In Dash, a refund, an email or a CRM update waits in the thread for a teammate's OK from day one.
FAQ
By default, any teammate with access to that tool's connection can approve or deny a pending action, not just the person who asked. Whoever connected the tool can name specific approvers, and admins can change that for any connection.
Not per seat. Runbear bills on two measures instead: credits, which agents use as they work, and interactors, the distinct people who talk to its agents in a month.
