The short version

  • Only Warp has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Silent Eight automated disposition has to clear model risk governance and a regulator, and the shadow running period before auto-close is permitted can consume most of the first year of the contract.; Warp limited cloud agents access on free tier

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Silent Eight

  • Automated disposition has to clear model risk governance and a regulator, and the shadow running period before auto-close is permitted can consume most of the first year of the contract.
  • It does not improve detection, so an institution with a poorly tuned monitoring system automates the handling of bad alerts rather than fixing why they exist.
  • Pricing is tied to alert volume, which means efficiency gains elsewhere that reduce alerts also reduce the vendor bill in a way sales teams structure minimums against.
  • The headcount saving is only realised if the institution actually reduces the analyst pool, and many banks redeploy rather than cut, leaving the business case unrealised on paper.
  • As a mid-sized private vendor serving tier one banks, concentration risk cuts both ways; the loss of one large client materially affects the company, and buyers should ask about financial stability during diligence.

Warp

  • Limited cloud agents access on free tier
  • Limited collaboration features on free tier
  • Limited cloud conversation storage on free tier
  • IME input not properly handled on macOS (discarded during command or Agent output)
  • Terminal zoom functionality does not properly resize grid in TUI applications, causing misaligned rendering
  • Multi-language (i18n) support missing as of documentation
  • Requires macOS 10.14 or later (excludes older Mac hardware)
  • Requires Windows 10 build 1903 or later (excludes pre-build 1903 systems)
  • Linux requires glibc 2.31 or higher and GPU support (OpenGL ES 3.0+ or Vulkan) for rendering

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Silent Eight: Does Silent Eight replace our screening system?

No. It consumes alerts from your existing screening and monitoring systems and decides them. The detection layer stays where it is.

Warp: What is the pricing model?

Usage-based, priced per agent run. Qualifying orgs get $10k of factory usage during closed early access.

Silent Eight: Will a regulator accept AI closing alerts?

It depends on your jurisdiction and your model governance evidence. Banks typically run extended shadow mode first and phase auto-closure by alert type.

Warp: Where does our data live?

Data lives wherever you choose - Warp's cloud, or fully self-hosted inside your own VPC, under your existing retention and compliance rules.

Silent Eight: Where is the company based?

Singapore, with offices in New York, London and Warsaw.
