Lindy vs Workato Agent Studio

Lindy is an AI teammate that connects to tools and handles work such as pulling reports, updating a CRM, clearing an inbox and preparing meeting materials. Multi-step workflows support conditional logic and webhook triggers, while scheduled routines and 40+ included skills cover recurring tasks; teams can also create skills. Lindy says it offers 1,000+ integrations and supports MCP servers, with listed apps including Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Salesforce, GitHub and Notion. It is available on the web and as an extension, and the maker says it also works in Slack, iMessage and the browser for email drafting, scheduling and inbox replies. Plans use credits that refresh at each billing-cycle start and do not roll over; when credits run out, credit-using actions pause until reset. Lindy says data is encrypted in transit and at rest and is not used to train AI models. It lists SOC 2 Type II certification and HIPAA, GDPR and PIPEDA compliance. A free plan includes $50 in credits lasting seven days; paid plans start at $29.99/user/mo, with a seven-day trial.

Workato Agent Studio is a web-based, API-accessible environment for creating AI agents called Genies. Users can build and manage Genies without code, connect them to organizational systems, and configure them to coordinate multi-step actions across applications. Genies use knowledge bases for company-specific information and skills for working with applications and systems. Anthropic Claude is the default model; builders can switch to OpenAI GPT or connect their own LLM. Available interfaces include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Workato GO, and custom interfaces, with the Headless API limited to custom interfaces. Workato's integration library includes connectors for SaaS apps, databases, and ERPs, including Salesforce, Slack, Workday, ServiceNow, and Snowflake. Controls include role-based access, authentication, action audit trails, always-active prompt-attack detection and harmful-content filtering, and configurable filters and denied topics. Each prompt counts as one Genie action, including its reasoning, retrieval, and handoffs. The free plan includes 50,000 one-time credits; Pro is $75 a month with 2,500 monthly credits. Agent Studio access depends on particular customer pricing plans.
