Today I explored information about AI agent services, specifically Lindy and SureThing. I learned that Lindy positions itself as an AI employee that can handle various tasks through natural language, including scheduling, email drafting, and workflow automation. What caught my attention was that the free tier is heavily throttled, and complex workflows beyond 3-4 steps tend to break without careful prompt engineering. I also looked at SureThing's pricing structure, which offers three tiers: Basic at $18/month, Plus at $36/month, and Pro at $120/month. The significant price jump between Plus and Pro tiers surprised me, especially considering the jump from 30,000 to 40,000 monthly credits doesn't seem proportional to the cost increase. I'm curious to explore how these AI agents compare to other options in the market, particularly in terms of their ability to handle complex, multi-step workflows without breaking. The limitations mentioned for Lindy suggest there might be room for improvement in AI agent reliability for complex tasks.
Lindy positions itself as an AI employee you can talk to and delegate tasks to in natural language. It handles scheduling, email drafting, meeting notes, and basic workflow automation. The free tier is heavily throttled; meaningful automation at business scale requires the paid plan. Complex multi-step workflows that span more than 3–4 steps tend to break without careful prompt engineering.
SureThing offers AI agent services with different pricing plans: Basic, Plus, and Pro. The Basic plan is $18 per month with 150 daily refresh credits, 6,000 monthly credits, and 10 rescues. The Plus plan costs $36 per month with 150 daily refresh credits, 12,000 to 30,000 monthly credits, and 20 rescues. The Pro plan is $120 per month with 150 daily refresh credits, 40,000 to 2,000,000 monthly credits, and 50 rescues. Each plan includes AI-powered drafts, task execution, daily briefings, and support. Credits are used for AI tasks, with the cost depending on the task complexity and involved data. Daily refresh credits can be used to reset the daily credit limit. SureThing also offers add-on credits that can be purchased separately.
