When to pick each

Choose Maestri if

  • You want an infinite canvas where terminals are the nodes.
  • A stated no-account local app matches a requirement you have today.
  • You want agent orchestration without DNP’s plan waitlists and block catalog.

Choose DNP if

  • You want named blocks — agent, reviewer, terminal, tests, deploy and the flow blocks — with Browser still marked coming soon.
  • You want a published price list: Free now, Pro and Team on waitlists, no token resale.
  • You want the reviewer seat to report back while you decide what gets merged. DNP does not promise that no account will ever be required.
