What makes the difference

Viktor is a hosted service: work runs in its cloud, and your team reaches it through the chat tools it already uses. APX is MIT software you run on your computer or server, with several named agents organized by project. Both keep memory, schedule work and ask before sensitive actions, so the real question is who hosts the work and whether you want one shared teammate or a crew per project.
