Different philosophies
Lindy AI is a powerful agent builder. You create custom AI agents, connect them to triggers, and build workflows. It's flexible and well-suited for technical users who want full control over how their agents operate.
SendToTeam takes the opposite approach. Instead of building agents, you hire employees from a catalog. Instead of configuring workflows, you just tell them what you need. Instead of automated outputs, every deliverable goes through your Approvals Desk before it ships.
The approval-loop difference
SendToTeam's core differentiator is the approval workflow. Every piece of work an AI employee produces lands on your Approvals Desk. You review it, approve it, reject it, or request changes. Nothing goes out without your sign-off. This isn't optional — it's the foundation of how the platform works.
Lindy agents can run autonomously once configured, which is powerful but means you need to trust the output without a built-in review step.
Hiring vs building
With SendToTeam, you browse a catalog of AI employees — analysts, SDRs, writers, support leads — and hire them. Each has a clear role, skill set, and salary cap. There's no configuration step.
With Lindy, you build custom agents for your specific needs. This gives you more flexibility but requires more setup time and technical understanding.
Pricing transparency
SendToTeam uses a payroll model with transparent salary caps. Each employee has a maximum monthly cost, and you only pay for the work they do, up to their salary cap. A full team of 6 employees costs under $333/mo.
Who should use what
If you want to build custom AI agents with full control over triggers and workflows, Lindy is a strong choice. If you want to hire AI employees, tell them what you need, and approve everything before it ships — with no configuration required — SendToTeam is built for you.
