Tolodora Editorial Team
Tolodora's editorial team — we research, compile and regularly update these software guides from public sources and product documentation.
Lindy lets you build AI 'employees' that read email, book meetings and run multi-step workflows. It's part of a fast-growing category, and depending on whether you want deep app integrations, open-source control, or a spreadsheet-style builder, another tool may fit better.
These range from classic automation platforms with new AI layers to purpose-built AI agent tools.
We rated every pick on four things — pricing and value, functionality, ease of use, and support. Here's the rundown.

What I like

Best for
Teams that want AI automation across the widest possible range of apps, no code required.
Zapier is the automation default, and its AI features (Agents, AI steps, Chatbots) bring it into Lindy's territory. Nothing matches its app coverage, so if your workflow touches many tools, it's the safest, most flexible choice. Task-based pricing can add up at volume.

What I like
A visual, node-based canvas that makes complex multi-step automations clear and cheap, with strong AI and API modules.
Best for
Power users who want powerful, branching automations with AI at a better price than Zapier.
Make (formerly Integromat) gives you a visual builder for sophisticated automations, with granular control over data and logic and native AI/OpenAI modules. It's more affordable than Zapier at scale and a favourite for detailed workflows. Slightly steeper curve, much more control. It's a common pick among your business comparing their choices.

Best for
Technical teams that want AI automations they own and can extend without usage billing.
Plenty of your business land on it after weighing the field. n8n is the open-source powerhouse: build AI-driven workflows and agents, self-host for free, and drop into code when needed. Its AI nodes make it a genuine Lindy alternative for developers who value ownership and unlimited executions over a hosted convenience.

It tends to suit your business that want exactly this balance. Relevance AI is squarely in Lindy's lane: a no-code platform for building AI agents and multi-agent teams that use tools, data and workflows. It's strong for automating knowledge work like research, CRM updates and outreach, with a friendly builder and good scaling.

Gumloop lets you build AI automations on a visual node canvas: combine scraping, LLM reasoning and integrations into reusable 'flows'. It's a modern, approachable Lindy alternative for automating repetitive knowledge work, popular with growth and ops teams. For a your business setup, it's well worth a closer look.
