Lindy vs Gumloop
Both sit in the agents/automation category and compete for the same underlying search: how do I stop doing a repetitive job by hand. The decision splits on whether you want an agent that owns the outcome or a canvas where you build the steps yourself.
The difference that matters
Lindy is built around agents that hold a goal across many steps, like running an inbox, scheduling, or following up on leads, and keep acting on that goal rather than firing once per trigger. Gumloop is a node based automation canvas aimed at operations teams, shipping prebuilt scraping and enrichment nodes that would otherwise need custom code. Billing shapes also diverge sharply, Lindy charges a flat per-user seat fee plus a workspace-pooled credit allowance, while Gumloop's entry Pro plan bundles unlimited seats into one $37/mo tier but adds an 8% orchestration fee on top of credit usage.
Side by side
| Lindy | Gumloop | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | None | None currently; 14-day free trial of the Pro plan replaces the discontinued standing free tier |
| Entry paid plan | $29.99/user/mo | Pro, from $37/month: 20,000 credits/mo, 5 concurrent workflow runs, 25 concurrent agent chats, unlimited seats/agents, 35+ models, plus an 8% orchestration fee on usage |
| Bills in | not stated | Credits per workflow run/execution (monthly allotment) plus separate concurrency caps (runs, agent chats), independent of seat count |
Choose Lindy if
You want to hand off an ongoing job, like managing an inbox or chasing follow-ups, to something that keeps a goal in mind rather than firing a single automation trigger.
Choose Gumloop if
You are an ops team that wants to see and edit the actual workflow on a canvas, especially one that needs scraping or data enrichment steps without writing custom code.
Our verdict
Lindy if the job is better described as an outcome to own than a flow to build. Gumloop if you want a visual canvas a non-engineer on an ops team can build and maintain, with unlimited seats baked into the price.
What to watch out for
Neither has a standing free tier right now. Lindy only offers a 7-day trial to teammates invited via Slack, direct signups are billed immediately, and its verified entry price is $29.99/user/month for the Plus plan (3,000 pooled credits/user/month). Gumloop's standing free plan was discontinued and replaced by a 14-day free trial of Pro at $37/mo (20,000 credits/month, 5 concurrent workflow runs, 25 concurrent agent chats); both figures were reconfirmed against live vendor pricing pages.
