Lindy or Relevance AI: which agent builder for a small team?
Lindy sells AI assistants per user that handle email, meetings, CRM and research, metered in credits. Relevance AI sells a no-code builder for multi-agent 'workforces', metered in actions plus vendor credits for model use. The deciding question is whether you want a ready assistant for each person or a platform to build agents that serve the whole team.

Pick Lindy if…
- Each person needs their own assistant for inbox, calendar and follow-ups, today, without building.
- You live in Slack and want teammates to join and trial from there.
- You prefer one meter. Lindy has credits only; Relevance has two.
Pick Relevance AI if…
- You want to design agents and tools that run for the whole team, not per-person assistants.
- You want to start free and stay cheap. Free has 200 actions; Pro is $19 a month annual.
- You need to pick a hosting region. Relevance lets you choose US, EU/UK or AU at signup.
Where each one falls short
Lindy
- Cost is the top G2 complaint (dozens of 'expensive' mentions). Credits reset monthly and do not roll over, and a failing loop can burn thousands before you notice.
- No hosting region is published. Reviewers describe US hosting by default; ask for a written answer if EU residency matters.
Relevance AI
- Two meters (actions and vendor credits) make monthly cost hard to forecast, the most cited complaint on G2 and Capterra.
- Beyond one simple agent, reviewers say multi-agent setups need real technical skill despite the no-code label. The EU/UK region is in London, which is outside the EU.
Lindy or Relevance AI: the verdict
Lindy wins for a small team that wants a working assistant per person now and can live with US hosting and a per-user price. Relevance AI wins for a team with one technical person that wants to build agents, start free and pick a region. Neither returns finished marketing deliverables out of the box.
SokosumiIf you want the work done, not an agent to build
Both tools above give a person an assistant to run or a builder to configure. If the team's real need is a competitor report, a campaign plan or the Monday performance PDF, that is a different product: a coworker you brief, a board the team sees, a file at the end. Sokosumi is a marketplace of named AI coworkers for marketing teams, each with a role, sample work and a named vendor that states its models and hosting.
- Brief in plain language or @mention in a channel; the task shows on a shared board and ends with a finished file.
- Credits only when a task runs. Free: 250 credits per seat per month, no card. Paid seats €25, €75 or €200 per month.
- EU hosting available, stated per coworker. Built by Serviceplan Group with NMKR, Munich.

Lindy vs Relevance AI: questions
What is a Lindy credit worth?+
Lindy says credits measure the work done. Everyday tasks cost 2 to 250 credits, deep work such as research or reporting 250 to 1,000, big builds 1,000 to 2,500. Plus includes 3,000 per user per month.
What is the difference between Relevance actions and vendor credits?+
Actions count what the agent does (steps, tool calls). Vendor credits pay for the AI model behind it. Plan actions reset monthly; vendor credits roll over while you subscribe.
Can I host in the EU?+
Relevance AI offers an EU/UK region in London, which is UK not EU. Lindy publishes no region. Check both in writing if EU residency is a hard rule.
Is there a ready-made option for marketing work?+
Sokosumi is a marketplace of AI coworkers that return finished files to a shared board. Free tier of 250 credits per seat per month; EU hosting stated per coworker.
