Key features
  • Autonomous AI Agents
  • 9,000+ App Integrations
  • Self-Serve Signup
  • Activity-Based Pricing
  • Email triage and reply drafting in your own writing style
  • Autonomous meeting scheduling and rescheduling

  • Hundreds of integrations (Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, Notion)
  • Custom agent building for sales, support, recruiting and ops workflows
Pros
  • Backed by Zapier's massive, established 9,000+ app integration catalog — broader reach than most dedicated agent platforms
  • Confirmed self-serve pricing and signup at agents.zapier.com — no sales contact required
  • Free tier with 400 activities/month to try before paying
  • Learns and adapts to an individual's writing and scheduling style rather than using generic templates
  • Hundreds of integrations cover most common productivity tools (Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, calendars)
  • Clear, published tiered pricing — a rarity in the AI agent category, where most competitors hide behind 'contact sales'
  • Reported adoption inside recognizable companies (Shopify, Apple, Adobe, McKinsey, Nvidia)
  • No long-term contract required — cancel anytime after the 7-day trial
Cons
  • No public affiliate program — only a gated Solution Partner Program for agencies/consultants and a separate integration Partner Program
  • A separate product and pricing model from classic Zapier automation, which can be confusing for existing Zapier users
  • 1,500 activities/month on the Pro tier is a usage cap that heavier agent use could exceed
  • No ongoing free tier — only a 7-day trial, then it's a paid plan starting at $49.99/month or nothing
  • Credit-based usage makes real monthly cost unpredictable; reviewers report overages with limited warning
  • Error handling can be weak — a failed action may fail silently instead of alerting you
  • Independent reviews report a low Trustpilot score (2.4/5) despite endorsements from tech influencers
  • Not built for high-volume phone/call automation the way Vapi or Retell AI are

Zapier Agents is Zapier's dedicated AI-agent product, distinct from classic Zapier automation (Zapier AI/Zaps). It lets users create AI 'teammates' that autonomously do work across Zapier's catalog of 9,000+ app integrations, billed separately via 'activities' rather than the Zap-based pricing of Zapier's core automation product.

Lindy is an AI executive assistant that handles email management and drafting, meeting scheduling, meeting notes and recaps, and task/follow-up tracking, communicating with users over SMS/iMessage. It observes how a user writes emails, responds to messages and handles their calendar to match their communication style, and connects to hundreds of tools including Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack and Notion, cross-referencing multiple apps without needing explicit commands. Beyond the built-in assistant, Lindy can be used to build custom agents for sales, support, recruiting, operations and healthcare workflows. Plans run Plus at $49.99/month, Pro at $99.99/month (3x usage, computer use, model selection), Max at $199.99/month (7x usage), and a custom Enterprise tier with HIPAA, SSO, SCIM and audit logs. There's no ongoing free tier — only a 7-day free trial with Plus features — and no long-term contract is required.
