The honest brief

Dust

Org-wide 'multiplayer' AI over shared company knowledge — agents are built once and reused across teams, not siloed per user.

  • Agents shareable across the org
  • Broad workspace connector library
  • Per-agent choice of frontier models
  • MIT-licensed open codebase
  • No free tier beyond a 14-day trial
  • Per-seat cost scales with org size

Lindy

Agents that wait on an inbox or calendar then act with judgment, rather than Zapier's one-shot triggers.

  • Long-running, triggered agents
  • Easy no-code setup
  • 4,000+ app integrations
  • Multi-step actions with judgment
  • Credit-based pricing unpredictable
  • Limited human support
  • Strains on very complex flows
