Sintra vs Lindy
Written by Wanna AI. Checked on 17 Oct 2026, refreshed every 30 days. Wanna is our product; it appears only in the section "Where Wanna fits", not in the table. Prices change; open each link before you decide.
Short answer. Sintra sells 12 role-based AI helpers, such as a copywriter, a support specialist and a social media manager, that you brief in chat, on a flat monthly price with 250 credits. Lindy is one AI teammate that plugs into your tools, such as Slack, email and meetings, billed per active user in credits. Pick Sintra if you want drafts across many functions from one sign-up. Pick Lindy if the work lives in your inbox, calendar and Slack. We ran neither product.

Side by side
| Sintra | Lindy | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per month | 48.50 US dollars on a 1-month term, 23.60 on 3 months (70.80 paid up front), 15.60 on 12 months (187.20 paid up front). Each shown beside a struck-through higher figure. VAT added at checkout. | Team: from 29.99 US dollars a month per active user for 3,000 credits. Larger monthly tiers go up to 1,750,000 credits. Extra credits are listed at 10 US dollars per 1,000. Enterprise is custom. |
| Free start | No free tier on its pricing page. Its help center describes a one-time trial of 50 credits for 3 days, once per account. A 14-day money-back guarantee on the first purchase; you must ask support for the refund. | Free: credits worth $50 that last 7 days, no card. |
| What you get in week 1 | All 12 helpers (Buddy, Cassie, Commet, Dexter, Emmie, Gigi, Penn, Scouty, Seomi, Soshie, Vizzy, Milli) and 250 credits for the month. You pick a helper, write the request and read the result. Chatting, image generation and scheduled tasks use credits. | You connect your tools (its page lists 1,500+ integrations) and ask in plain words. It works in Slack, email and meetings. Anything with outside impact, such as sending an email, waits for your approval. |
| What a unit of usage is | A credit. 250 a month on every term; unused credits do not roll over. | A credit. Everyday asks use 2 to 250, deep work 250 to 1,000, big builds 1,000 to 2,500 (Lindy's ranges). Monthly credits do not roll over; extra credits stay until used. |
| Where it fails | When the workspace runs out of credits, the helpers stop working until you add credits. Credit top-ups are non-refundable and only sold as plans. No refunds for unused credits. Its home page says "1000+ tools" without an exact integration count, so ask which apply to your stack. | Every active user is billed, and an @mention in Slack counts as taking a seat. Credit-using actions pause when credits run out. Cost depends on how much each ask uses, so a month's bill is not fixed by a task count. |
| Who should pick it | A solo founder who knows the jobs and wants a helper for each, with a predictable subscription. | A team that wants an assistant working inside Slack, email and meetings, and can budget by credits. |
Criteria that decide it
- Where does the work live? Sintra's helpers draft in their own workspace. Lindy goes to where your team already works.
- How do you want to be billed? Sintra is one subscription for 12 helpers. Lindy is per active user, plus credits.
- How predictable is a month? Sintra gives a fixed 250 credits; Lindy's use per ask ranges widely.
- How long can you commit? Sintra's lowest monthly figure needs a 12-month term paid up front (187.20 US dollars). Lindy's Team price is shown by the month.
Where Wanna fits
Wanna does a narrower job than either: it reads your site, proposes the week's growth tasks and prepares letters, posts and ads for your OK. Posts and ads always wait for your OK; letters go out only after you turn sending on (Trust). Read on 26 Oct 2026: a free start of 100 credits after setup (about 10 tasks); paid tiers Starter $20 a month (200 credits, about 20 tasks), Growth $49 (5,000 credits), Scale $149 (16,000 credits, up to five companies). Honest minuses: it is early, with 4 companies of people and 0 paying on the live page at 16:59 UTC on 26 Oct 2026, and it has no helpers to chat with, no inbox assistant and no meeting notes.

What neither replaces
Neither replaces a person who reads what reaches a customer, or one who owns your priorities. Neither replaces an accountant or a lawyer. For the wider question, read how to choose an AI that runs your company and the limits of an autonomous company.
