The work is functions and jobs.
You want event-driven background work in your own codebase. Keep Inngest for jobs; it coexists with Mobius fine.
Inngest gives you durable primitives and expects you to build the agent on top. Mobius starts where that ends: the same durable steps underneath, the whole agent layer already built.
| Decision point | Inngest | Mobius |
|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Event-driven durable functions and jobs | AI agents as a managed product |
| What you write | Functions with steps, in your codebase | Agent definitions, loops, and steps |
| LLM runtime | You build it inside your functions | Model-agnostic runtime, built in |
| Integrations + auth | Wire each API and its OAuth yourself | 30+ managed integrations, auth handled |
| Memory | Bring your own store | Agent memory with recall and ranking |
| Cost control | Meter LLM spend yourself | Per-run budgets and spend visibility |
| Human approval | waitForEvent plus your own UI | Approval gates with the review UI built in |
| Where the loop runs | Your servers; Inngest coordinates the steps | Mobius runs the loop in managed sandboxes |
Both give you durable steps that retry and survive. The difference is whether the agent above them is yours to build, or already built.

You would rather configure an agent than assemble one from primitives.
Start free and ship an agent on durable steps you never have to operate.
