Find the right workflow fit.

Trial the platform closest to your real workflow: a team assistant, an enterprise agent workforce, Microsoft automation or Salesforce service. Credits and conversations are not comparable units.

Inbox, meetings, scheduled routines and connected tools

Lindy

Free credits expire in 7 days; monthly credits do not roll over. My first small-team trial for everyday work. Check whether the assistant covers the actual workflow before scaling seats.

Agents, tools, workforces and integrations

Relevance AI

Separate action usage from underlying model vendor credits. A broader enterprise workforce evaluation, with evaluations and access controls. Current published pricing is quote-led.

Autonomous agents and external-channel publishing

Microsoft Copilot Studio

Internal Microsoft 365 agent rights differ from external publishing. Start here when Microsoft identity and Power Platform are already central. Choose the standalone plan for outside channels.

Customer and employee agents with action or conversation metering

Salesforce Agentforce

Action billing and conversation billing are distinct models. Strongest shortlist fit when the workflow already depends on Salesforce. Model complete actions and licenses before comparing cost.

The landscape at a glance.
