Lindy alternatives
The short answer: most people looking for a Lindy alternative are looking for one of three things, and which one you want decides the answer. If you want the same build-your-own-teammate idea with a different billing shape, look at Relevance AI or Runbear. If you want to stop building and hand the work to a single hire the whole team shares, look at Sanaf. If you want the underlying automation rather than a teammate, look at Make or n8n. Lindy itself remains a good product, and if you have already built teammates that work, the honest advice is to keep them.

Lindy popularised a genuinely good idea: an AI teammate you build for a specific job, triggered by what happens in your tools. Plenty of teams get real value from it, and this page is not an argument that they should not.
People go looking for an alternative for practical reasons rather than because the product is bad, and the reason you are looking decides which of the four below is right. So the list is grouped by reason, not ranked.
4 options, and who each one suits
Relevance AI
A platform for building AI teams: you assemble agents with tools and skills, then run them against your systems.
- Best for
- Teams who want to keep building, with more control over how each agent is composed than a teammate builder gives them.
- How it is priced
- Credit-based plans by volume, with enterprise pricing by quote
Runbear
An AI teammate that lives in Slack and answers from the tools your company already uses.
- Best for
- Slack-first teams who want something in the channel quickly and are not looking to build much.
- How it is priced
- Credits per model call on monthly plans, not per seat, with an enterprise tier by quote
Sanaf
That is usOne AI employee for the whole workspace, hired into jobs with a written description, working in Slack, Microsoft Teams and its own chat across the apps you already run.
- Best for
- A business that wants one colleague to delegate to, with rules per kind of action and a record of everything it did.
- How it is priced
- Free to start with $120 of credit and no card, then credits from $20 as you need them. They never expire, and you pay for the work, not per seat
Make
A visual automation platform where you draw a scenario module by module and it runs exactly as drawn.
- Best for
- People who want the underlying automation rather than a teammate, and who like seeing the whole process on a canvas.
- How it is priced
- Credits consumed per module action, on a free tier and paid plans, with unlimited users and an enterprise tier quoted by their sales team
Why people look elsewhere
- The bill moves in a way that is hard to predict as usage grows.
- Building and maintaining teammates turned into a job nobody has time for.
- The work needs to happen where the team already talks, rather than in another app.
- They want one hire that holds many jobs instead of one teammate per job.
Stay with Lindy if
- You already have teammates built and working, in which case rebuilding them elsewhere buys you nothing.
- You like building the automation yourself and want fine control over each trigger.
- The integrations you depend on are ones Lindy supports well and the alternative does not.
- Your usage is steady and the bill is already predictable for you.
