Gumloop vs Lindy
Features, pricing, strengths and trade-offs — and which one fits your situation.
The verdict
Editor’s verdict
Gumloop is a visual builder for AI-heavy workflows and agents, while Lindy is an AI teammate that works mainly inside Slack and is set up in natural language rather than by drawing flows. Choose Gumloop if you want to design repeatable pipelines, such as scraping, enriching and scoring leads or processing documents in bulk, and want to see each step on a canvas with unlimited seats for your team. Choose Lindy if your team lives in Slack and wants an assistant that handles email drafts, meeting notes, scheduling and research on request, with approvals before it sends anything and computer use for sites without integrations. Both meter usage in credits that can be hard to predict for AI-heavy work, and neither can be self-hosted. If you need thousands of app connectors or strictly deterministic automations, a general platform such as Zapier, Make or n8n is a better fit than either.
Gumloop has a free plan, while Lindy offers a free trial.
