What our research says

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

Sistava

Fits a team that wants to automate specific, well-defined tasks without pretending an AI agent can run a whole department. The free tier is a real way to test one workflow before paying, but five paid tiers plus top-up packs make the pricing page busy to parse.

Pros

  • Explicitly scoped to repeatable workflows rather than overselling full autonomy
  • Free tier available to test before paying
  • Five-tier pricing ladder lets teams scale spend with actual usage rather than jumping straight to an enterprise deal

Cons

  • Five paid tiers plus separate top-up packs make it harder to predict monthly cost upfront
  • No company name or location disclosed on the site

Choose Sistava if you need

  • Teams wanting to automate a specific, bounded workflow rather than a whole department
