Complipath vs Holistic AI: how do they compare on the EU AI Act?

Each Holistic AI cell is a sentence from their own site, in their words and not ours, with the page it stood on; each Complipath cell is our own page or our status table. Complipath (complipath.io) is EU AI Act compliance software that classifies each AI system with the article behind the answer.

Choose Complipath if

Rule engine
  • You use AI from other vendors and need each system classified, with the article it rests on.
  • You need the same answer every time. Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms.
  • You want proof linked to each duty: the file and the page it stands on.

Choose Holistic AI if

In their words
  • What they put first is what you need:
    “When risks are detected, Operative Agents intervene in real time — activating kill switches, blocking unsafe requests, revoking privileges, and remediating violations before harm occurs.” In their words and not ours.
    [77]
  • What they put first is what you need:
    “40+ tests for bias, hallucination, privacy and robustness” In their words and not ours.
    [78]
  • What they put first is what you need:
    “Our information security management system was certified against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 following a Stage 2 audit by our certification body, with no nonconformities raised.” In their words and not ours.

Try both on the same system.Complipath's first system is free. Compare the answer you get with Holistic AI's.

Questions

Is this comparison neutral?

It is written by Complipath, so read it as ours. What keeps it checkable is the rule on both sides: each Holistic AI cell is their own sentence with the page it stood on, and each Complipath cell is what our own pages say. Where a side's pages say nothing, the cell says so.

What does "Not stated on the pages we read" mean?

That none of the 17 pages of Holistic AI's site we read on 9 October 2026 said it. It is a statement about those pages, listed below, not about the product: ask Holistic AI before you rule anything out.

Which one should we choose?

Start from the rows you need. Where Holistic AI's own site states a requirement our pages mark as not supported, they are the closer fit on that row by what each side says publicly. For a European company that wants each classification with its article and the version of the law it used, at a public price, start with Complipath's free check.
