Corollary vs Superbio.ai

Superbio pairs a catalogue of hosted biology models with an AI co-scientist and a cloud notebook, on a small free tier and paid plans. Corollary is free for non-commercial research, with an agent that also queries public databases and runs nf-core pipelines.

The short answer

Superbio started as an app store of hosted biology models and has grown into a co-scientist, Locus, that plans and runs analyses in a cloud notebook and provisions compute for genomics workflows. Its free tier allows a few runs a day and half an hour of runtime a month.

Corollary covers similar ground with a different balance: an agent with a Linux machine of its own, 145 open models, 43 bioinformatics programs, 143 nf-core pipelines and 53 live public databases, on a free plan with a monthly credit allowance. It is a non-commercial research demonstration.

Choose Superbio for business use, fine-tuning and a broad hosted catalogue. Choose Corollary when the work is not commercial and you want the analysis, the databases and the pipelines in one free place.

What it is: CorollaryA research agent with a Linux machine of its own, and a library of open scientific models, programs, databases and pipelines it runs for you.; SuperbioAn AI co-scientist, Locus, on top of a catalogue of hosted biology models, with a cloud notebook called the Virtual Lab.^[1]^[6]^[7]
How you use it: CorollaryIn the browser, with a free account or signed out. Nothing to install. Also a developer API and an MCP server.; SuperbioSelf-serve sign-up; Team plans on enquiry.^[2]
Price: CorollaryFree. 30,000 credits a month with an account, 1,000 signed out; database queries never use credits.; SuperbioBasic is free: 5 runs a day, 30 minutes of runtime and 25 credits a month. Boost is $20 a month.^[3]
Commercial use: CorollaryNot permitted. Corollary is a non-commercial research demonstration, with no warranty or support.; SuperbioPersonal or business use, under each model's own licence.^[4]
Where the work runs: CorollaryOn our servers: a Linux machine per conversation, and jobs of up to 32 cores, 256 GiB of memory and 24 hours for long runs.; SuperbioSuperbio's cloud: a Jupyter environment, and high-performance compute that Locus provisions for genomics workflows.^[6]^[7]
Scientific AI models: Corollary301 models in the library, 145 of them run here — GPU included, with no setup and no key of your own.; SuperbioMore than 650 models through its API, by its own count, including AlphaFold2, Boltz-2, RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, DiffDock and Evo 2.^[8]^[9]
Programs and pipelines: Corollary43 bioinformatics programs installed or run as jobs, and 143 nf-core pipelines.; SuperbioPipelines built in plain English and run in the Virtual Lab.^[6]
Databases: Corollary53 public databases queried live, with no API key of your own.; SuperbioYour data comes from uploads, Google Drive, Google Cloud or S3, or your own mounted S3 bucket.^[5]
Language model: CorollaryChosen and paid for by Corollary. No API key of your own.; SuperbioNot named.
Open source: CorollaryNo. The service is closed source; the models, programs and pipelines it runs are open.; SuperbioNo.
Your files: CorollaryUploaded to our servers and kept in the conversation's workspace. Some of our processors are in the United States.; SuperbioIts pricing FAQ says your data is not used to improve models; its terms grant Superbio a licence to generated output, including to train AI models.^[2]^[4]

Where Superbio is the better choice

A large hosted model catalogue with an API.^[8]
Locus is built for datasets of 100 GB and more.^[7]
Business use is allowed, with Team plans and academic-group pricing.^[4]^[2]
Fine-tuning models on the Boost plan.^[3]
A separate business associate agreement for health data.^[5]

Where Corollary is the better choice

30,000 free credits a month, and database queries never use them.
53 public databases the agent queries live, next to the models.
143 nf-core pipelines and 43 bioinformatics programs on a Linux machine of the agent's own, with nothing to install.

Try the same work on Corollary

Ask in plain language. The agent works on a Linux machine of its own: it installs and runs what the job needs, keeps every file, and reads the results back with the numbers explained.
