Pickaxe vs Sistava
Pickaxe calls itself the Shopify for agent-powered businesses. You build client-ready AI agents, package them into products, and sell them through branded portals with billing and access controls built in. The target is entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches and service providers monetising AI capability rather than consuming it. Sistava is aimed at the business that wants the work done, with white-label available for those who go on to resell.
