What our research says

Floatboat

Using the calendar as the agent's runtime is a genuinely different framing, and pairing it with a native desktop app that keeps files on your own machine avoids the usual upload tax. The MCP tool surface is wide. The cost is opacity: everything runs on credits whose burn rate is not published, and the entry price only holds if you pay a year in advance.

Pros

Native Mac and Windows builds plus an iOS companion, not just a browser tab
Roughly 3,500 tool connections via MCP, including a browser the agent drives
Files stay local with unlimited storage instead of being uploaded to the vendor
Reachable from Telegram and Feishu, so tasks can be started from chat

Cons

Credit consumption per task is not published, so monthly cost is hard to predict
The advertised entry price requires $199 paid a year in advance
The lower tier is restricted to DeepSeek models and a standard processing lane

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
