| What you compare | Task Machine | Genspark |
|---|---|---|
| Goals |
Task Machine
Yes
Give a Goal an agent lead and link Metrics, such as weekly signups or open pipeline value. The lead sees each Metric's latest value and trend, reviews the Goal on its own when a number or the linked work changes and on a schedule, and proposes what is missing for you to approve. |
Genspark
Partly
AgentBase builds dashboards with key performance indicators, and GenTeam agents take named assignments. Its docs do not establish a goal owner tracking a measurable target and acting on progress toward it. |
| Leads |
Task Machine
Yes
Goals, Projects and Teams each have a lead, a person or an agent. A Goal lead checks that the work can still reach the outcome. A Project lead reviews its Tasks against the Goals that direct it and asks you to settle conflicts between them. A Team lead triages the queue. Every gap becomes a proposal you approve. |
Genspark
Yes
Genspark publishes a GenTeam customer setup where a lead developer agent directs other agents and hands implementation to a staging agent before human approval. This is a configured role rather than a documented project-lead field. |
| Tasks |
Task Machine
Yes
Every job is a Task that a person or an agent owns. The Task keeps its plan, discussion, decisions, runs and history together, so you can steer one job in detail without reading a chat log, and people and agents hand work to each other on the same record. |
Genspark
Yes
GenTeam tasks have a status, one assignee and their own discussion thread. Agents claim tasks before working, and people can use Claim for myself on the same task records. |
| Recurring work |
Task Machine
Yes
Start a Task or Workflow once, on a schedule in your timezone, or when a service event arrives, such as a paid invoice or a pull request review. A recurring job keeps one stable root Task and gives each occurrence its own status and history, so repeated work does not flood your board. |
Genspark
Yes
Workflows start on schedules, when Gmail or Outlook receives an email, or when meeting notes finish. GenTeam also schedules prompts for cloud agents and connected computers. |
| Workflows |
Task Machine
Yes
A Workflow repeats your steps in the same order every time, with branches, human questions and approvals, and verifier checks that judge each result against its requirements and send weak work back with feedback. Every run keeps a step-by-step history you can read afterwards. |
Genspark
Yes
Describe a repeated job in chat and the Workflow builder creates a trigger and action steps. You can refine it, test it and turn it on, then inspect each run's results and credit use. |
| Autonomy |
Task Machine
Yes
Consequential decisions land in your Inbox with their context. You set what each agent may do on its own: every action is either Ask first or Automatic, per agent, and you can change that whenever the work or the stakes change. |
Genspark
Yes
GenTeam's Access tab controls who may use each connected app. Requests outside those settings reach the creator as cards in a direct message, with one-time approval, broader permission or decline options. |
| Learned autonomy |
Task Machine
Yes
Task Machine studies the approvals and corrections you already make. When an agent does well it proposes giving it more freedom, and when it needs closer supervision it proposes tighter review, each with the evidence. A short lucky streak is not enough, and nothing changes until you accept. |
Genspark
Not published
Its public docs do not describe proposals to change an agent's permissions based on approval history. Access settings and a customer example of an agent-suggested release policy do not establish that learning loop. |
| Memory |
Task Machine
Yes
Agents keep lessons from your corrections, such as an accepted example or a mistake to avoid, and carry the relevant notes into later work. Memory is kept per agent, project, goal, team and workspace, and you can read, correct and restore any note. |
Genspark
Yes
SecondBrain carries previous work into later agent requests and builds an About Me profile from projects, meetings and conversations. You can edit that profile directly and retain your edits through automatic updates. |
| Planning |
Task Machine
Yes
Plan in Chat with your agents, and the plan becomes Tasks or Library documents instead of staying in a chat log. Before an agent starts, you review its plan and the acceptance criteria its work will be judged against. |
Genspark
Yes
The Workflow builder turns a conversation into configured steps you can test before switching on. Genspark Code also documents asking for a plan and waiting for approval, though that planning step is optional. |
| Intake |
Task Machine
Yes
Send work in over HTTP with a project token. It lands in the project as a Task, or in your Inbox as a proposal first. A team lead agent triages it to the right owner and asks you only when the decision is yours. |
Genspark
Yes
A GenTeam cloud agent can receive instructions at its own email address from trusted contacts. Other senders' messages are held for the creator, and agent mailboxes are unavailable in the EU and Japan regions. |
| Connectors |
Task Machine
Yes
Install services from a catalog as MCP servers, APIs or command-line tools, or add your own custom Connector for any of the three. Events Connectors receive webhooks from a service, such as a paid invoice, and start Workflows or wake a waiting Task. |
Genspark
Yes
The connector catalog includes native APIs and Model Context Protocol servers, with organization policies for custom servers. Workflows can start from incoming Gmail or Outlook messages. |
| Models |
Task Machine
Yes
Auto is the default. For each stage of the work it chooses a model from the task, current model capabilities, pricing and your applicable budgets, and you can fix a specific model on an agent when you want to. |
Genspark
Yes
Genspark describes automatic routing based on task type, context length, tool use and past performance. It also selects models for subagents, while GenTeam lets you choose Auto or a specific model per agent. |
| Cloud or your own computer |
Task Machine
Yes
Run agents in Managed Cloud with nothing to install, or connect a Local Worker, a computer you control, for local files, tools and accounts. You choose where each agent runs. |
Genspark
Yes
GenTeam offers hosted cloud agents and agents on your own connected computer. Genspark Claw likewise has a dedicated cloud option and a desktop mode that executes locally. |
| Your own subscription |
Task Machine
Yes
Sign in to your ChatGPT (Codex), Claude or GitHub Copilot subscription on a Local Worker, and the agents there use it instead of Task Machine's models. |
Genspark
Partly
GenTeam agents using Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI or OpenCode on your computer use that machine's model access without Genspark credits. Hosted agents and local GenCode instead use Genspark credits. |
| Pricing |
Task Machine
Yes
Usage based. From $29 a month before tax, the whole payment becomes usage that your workspace shares across people and agents, with no base fee and no trial. Larger monthly amounts lower the AI and Cloud rates. |
Genspark
Yes
Team costs $40 per seat monthly or $35 per seat per month billed annually, with 10,000 monthly credits per seat. Plus costs $24.99 monthly or $19.99 per month billed annually. Enterprise pricing is custom. |
| Correctness |
Task Machine
Yes
Every Task carries acceptance requirements, and each one gets a Pass, Fail or Uncertain check against the delivered work before a person reviews it. Workflow steps can add a verifier check that sends failed work back with feedback. You review the plan first, so the criteria exist before work starts. |
Genspark
Yes
Genspark describes grader agents for slides, sheets, documents, designs and coding projects. They assess artifacts and execution traces, including tool choice, detours and workflow delays, alongside user adoption and corrections. |
For software work
| What you compare | Task Machine | Genspark |
|---|---|---|
| Code review rules |
Task Machine
Yes
Internal code review checks completed changes against the enabled rules of your repository. Rule discovery reads the repository and proposes rules, each screened against violating and valid examples first, and Task Machine suggests turning off a rule that agents keep dismissing. |
Genspark
Partly
GenTeam documents asking a local agent to review a branch against main and return file and line references. Its docs do not establish code review against a configured set of repository rules. |
| Adversarial review |
Task Machine
Yes
When an approved plan has high sensitivity or a Critical review level, the change also gets an adversarial review. Two independent reviewers examine the changed files together for defects such as a broken caller or a duplicate charge on retry. Findings keep their reproduction steps, and a skipped or failed review never counts as a pass. |
Genspark
Partly
Genspark describes output-type grader agents, including for coding projects. Its docs do not establish an independent second code review triggered by risky changes. |
| Risk rating |
Task Machine
Yes
Before final review, Merge risk rates the exact revision Low, Moderate or High, with notes on alignment, impact, verification, rollback cost and error detection, plus file references. It informs your decision and never merges for you. |
Genspark
Not published
Its public docs do not describe a change-level risk rating before merge. The published model-routing risk tiers and database merge options address different jobs. |
| Pull requests |
Task Machine
Yes
Agents deliver against the exact reported revision, address review feedback and update the branch under your repository rules. Task Machine records its own approval of the exact commit before an agent may merge. |
Genspark
Partly
Genspark Code can edit an existing GitHub repository and push changes, and Claw documents reviewing pull requests. Its docs do not establish agents delivering pull requests and addressing their review feedback. |

Who each one suits
Genspark suits you if you want agents alongside tools for documents, spreadsheets, presentations and software, with GenTeam tasks and shared conversations for coordinating the work.
Task Machine suits you if you want measurable Goals with agent leads, reviewed Task plans and acceptance requirements, and decisions gathered in one Inbox.
You may stay with Genspark if its creation tools and GenTeam already fit your team. People and agents can claim tasks, work in their discussion threads and request access through approval cards, so shared ownership and approvals are common ground.
From a request to finished work
Genspark combines file creation with agent coordination. Super Agent plans a request, runs steps on a cloud computer and returns files such as a report, deck or spreadsheet. GenTeam adds task records with one assignee and a thread for progress and results. Its published customer example shows a lead developer agent delegating work to other agents before a person approves it.
Task Machine gives each job a Task, with its plan, discussion, decisions and history together. A Goal can have an agent lead and linked Metrics. The lead reviews progress and proposes missing work for you to approve.
Know where approval actually happens
GenTeam sends access requests to the creator in a direct message, where you can allow one request or grant broader permission. Its Workflow builder has a different approval mechanism: with Approvals on, a held send fails the run rather than opening an approval request. Genspark explicitly says the builder never asks you to approve a send.
Task Machine Workflows can pause for human questions and approvals. A verifier can check a result against its requirements and send failed work back with feedback, with decisions handled in the Inbox.
Both products offer cloud and local execution. GenTeam can use model access already available on your computer through supported local coding tools, while its hosted agents and GenCode use Genspark credits. Task Machine also lets you choose Managed Cloud or a Local Worker.
What the prices cover
Genspark Team costs $40 per seat per month on monthly billing, or $35 per seat per month billed annually, with 10,000 credits per seat each month. Individual Plus costs $24.99 monthly or $19.99 per month billed annually at $239.99 a year. Enterprise has custom pricing and adds credit pooling. Genspark Claw's dedicated cloud computer requires a separate subscription in addition to credits.
Task Machine is usage based, from $29 a month before tax, with the whole payment available as shared workspace usage and no base fee. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut and never takes custody of your accounts.
Common questions
Can Genspark assign tasks to people and agents?
Yes. GenTeam tasks have a status, one assignee and their own thread. Agents claim work, and people can claim the same kind of task record.
Does Genspark only run in the cloud?
No. GenTeam supports hosted agents and agents on your connected computer. Genspark Claw also has cloud and local desktop modes.
Do all Genspark approvals wait for a person?
No. GenTeam collects access requests as cards you can approve or decline. In the current Workflow builder, a send held by Approvals fails the run instead of requesting your approval.
Can both check generated work?
Yes. Genspark publishes output-type grader agents that assess artifacts and execution traces. Task Machine checks each Task's acceptance requirements and can add verifier checks to Workflow steps.
