What stuck with us about Genspark Claw was how you sign in to your own accounts: through a remote-desktop view of a browser running on a computer in Genspark’s cloud, which keeps the session there until it expires and you go back in and do it again. We kept picturing someone doing that for a supplier portal at 8 a.m. with a coffee going cold (maybe that’s unfair, and it takes ten seconds).
What Claw is
Claw launched on March 12, 2026 and gives every Genspark user a dedicated cloud computer for the agent to work on. It builds on Genspark’s “Super Agent” workspace, and since April 8 there has also been a local mode through the desktop app, plus a separate Genspark AI Browser for Mac and Windows.
We think the cloud computer is a good idea for research and a clumsy one for anything behind a login, which covers most of the jobs we’d want to hand off ourselves (a long research run while your laptop sits shut in a bag is exactly what a machine of its own is for, and dassi can’t do it, since our scheduled runs happen in your own browser and that browser has to be open when one is due).
Where your logins live
dassi works in the Chrome, Edge or Brave you already use, so the accounts it needs are the ones you’re signed into already, in the browser you’re sitting in. If a session has lapsed it signs in with whatever Chrome’s password manager autofills, so the password stays in your password manager and you never paste it into a chat or into dassi’s settings. The 2FA code goes to your phone, and dassi waits. The agent itself runs on your machine, though what it reads on those pages still goes to whichever model provider you’ve picked, through dassi’s relay if you’re on included credits.
On Claw, each session gets created through the remote view and then lives in Genspark’s cloud, so a job that touches eight sites means eight sign-ins through a window onto someone else’s computer, every one of them expiring on its own schedule.
The stored sessions bother us a little. Keeping them in Genspark’s cloud is what lets Claw carry on while you’re away, and we can’t see how a cloud agent would manage otherwise, but it also means your supplier portal session sits on a computer you’ve never seen, and we don’t know what most IT teams would make of that.
Credits, and September 18
The complaints about Genspark that come up again and again are about credits: they drain fast, failed tasks included, and billing and support get dragged in along the way (Trustpilot has Genspark at 3.7 out of 5 across 414 reviews this month). Pricing shifted again on September 18, 2026, when Genspark introduced a weekly Free Quota and said unlimited chat and image generation is grandfathered only until December 31. The free plan’s roughly 100 credits a day is still a fair way to try it.
We went the other way. dassi is $10 a month with your own model key, and your provider bills you for tokens directly, failed runs included, which at least makes a bad run a line item you can find. Plans with credits included run $25 to $300 a month.
When to choose Genspark
Genspark is the better pick when nobody’s logins are involved: research, one-off reports, anything you’d happily leave running on a computer you’ll never see. And if you want the agent working while your laptop is closed, it’s the only one of the two that can.
When to choose dassi
For recurring work behind your own logins, like the Friday numbers pulled out of Shopify, Stripe and the ad dashboards into one sheet. You’d show it the job once, or write down how you do it in a paragraph of plain English, and it becomes a saved workflow you run when you like or on a schedule, pausing on anything you’ve flagged.
We don’t know yet whether the weekly quota will push free users toward Plus or somewhere else entirely, since it has been in place for a day.
