| Try a call | NitroStudio | Mastra Studio, for the agent | NitroStack |
| Hosting | NitroCloud | Mastra Cloud, priced separately | Even |
| Code Mode | Included when the catalog is the cost | Not the job of the framework | NitroStack |
| Open source | SDK, CLI, and widgets | The framework is open source | Even |
Honest limits
Where Mastra is the better fit.
- You are building the agentIf the work is workflows, memory, and evals in TypeScript, Mastra is that product. NitroStack does not replace an agent framework. Their own guide is the right place to judge the agent side: mastra.ai/articles/ai-agent-framework

- 02Scaffold the server with the NitroStack CLI, in TypeScript or Python.
- 03Try each tool in NitroStudio before it has a public URL.
- 04Deploy on NitroCloud, or send a POC request and we will tell you if it fits.
Questions
Before you move anything.
Can a Mastra agent call a NitroStack server?
Yes. The server speaks MCP. The agent can stay on Mastra and connect to the server like any other client.
Is NitroStack open source?
The SDK, the CLI, and the widgets are open source. NitroStudio and NitroCloud are the products around that core. You can start locally without a credit card.
What if we are not sure it fits?
Send a POC request whether you need one or not. We will tell you if NitroStack is the right place for this server.
Run NitroStack next to what you have.
Sign up and try the server, or ask the team for a free POC. Keep the current setup until the new one is the one you want.
