Eigent AI vs Lindy

Eigent AI

Eigent's emphasis on approval workflows and progress tracking directly answers the usual worry with autonomous agents — that they'll do the wrong thing unsupervised — by keeping a human checkpoint in the loop. Credit-based pricing means cost scales with how much you actually run agents, fair but harder to predict than a flat seat price, especially once you're past the free tier's bring-your-own-key option.

Pros

• +Approval workflows and progress tracking keep a human in the loop by default
• +Bring-your-own-key and local model support on the free tier
• +Cross-platform desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux
• +Named enterprise users (AWS, Booking.com, HSBC) cited on the vendor's own site, suggesting real production use

Cons

• −Credit-based pricing is harder to forecast than a flat monthly fee
• −Enterprise customer names are self-reported by the vendor and not independently confirmed here
• −Jump from Plus ($19.99) to Pro ($99.99) is steep with no mid-tier option

Lindy

Lindy is for a business team that wants agents acting on real inboxes and calendars this week, with the plumbing to 1,500 apps already done; the skills library and meeting recorder make it closer to a junior colleague than a Zapier flow. The bill is credits per active user, and the free plan is now a seven-day trial rather than a standing tier, so a solo user who wants to run one automation for free should look elsewhere. Engineers who want to own the orchestration will find the canvas limiting.

Pros

• +Trigger-and-steps builder with 40+ reusable skills, no code required
• +Agents can send email, schedule, join meetings and operate a browser on Pro and above
• +1,500+ integrations plus MCP server support
• +Credits are pooled across the team and top-ups are priced plainly at $10 per 1,000
• +Enterprise tier offers HIPAA with a signed BAA, SSO, SCIM and audit logs

Cons

• −Billing is per active user plus credits, so cost rises with both seats and volume
• −The free plan is a 7-day, $50-credit trial, not an ongoing allowance
• −No yearly pricing or public API is shown on the pricing page
• −Legal entity is Crivello Corp in Oregon, named only in the terms
