Pros and cons

Lindy

Pros

  • Works inside Slack, iMessage and email, so no separate dashboard is needed.
  • 40+ built-in skills and custom skills shared across the whole team.
  • Approval gates keep sending and publishing actions under human control.
  • Editable plain-file memory makes the assistant's context inspectable.
  • Claims 1,500+ integrations plus MCP support, with SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance.

Cons

  • Free access is a $50 credit allowance that expires after 7 days, not a lasting free tier.
  • Team pricing starts at $49.99 per user per month, and credit metering makes costs less predictable.
  • Monthly credits do not roll over and actions pause when credits run out.
  • No public API or SDK is documented, and no released native mobile app could be confirmed.

Zapier

Pros

  • Connects 9,000+ apps, one of the largest integration libraries in automation.
  • Free plan with 100 tasks per month and a 14-day Professional trial with no credit card.
  • Zapier MCP is included on every plan and works with Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
  • Enterprise governance options include SSO, SCIM, action restrictions and log streaming.
  • Agents, Chatbots, Tables and Forms sit in the same account as Zaps.

Cons

  • Task-based pricing rises quickly: Team starts at $103.50/month and Professional at 2,000 tasks is $73.50/month on monthly billing.
  • The free plan is limited to 100 tasks and two-step Zaps with 15-minute polling.
  • Agents activities and Chatbots are billed as add-ons outside the plan's task pool.
  • No official mobile app and no self-hosted option were found.
