Who should pick which
Pick Lindy if
- You want ready-made agents for inbox, meetings and follow-ups with minimal setup.
- You want a large integration catalog (1,500+ per Lindy) and MCP support.
- Per-seat credit plans suit how your team will use it.
- You want a vendor that lists SOC 2, GDPR and, on Enterprise, HIPAA with a BAA.
Pick Swfte if
- You want a fleet of governed agents and workflows with one model gateway rather than per-seat assistants.
- You want testing, versioned releases and rollbacks in the build flow.
- You want agent governance (Nexus) available next to the builder.
- You are comfortable with Swfte’s current gaps: SAML SSO and SCIM are in development, and dedicated or private deployment is scoped as an engagement, not self-serve.
What Lindy does well
- 1,500+ integrations and MCP support (per Lindy), with 40+ skills plus custom ones
- Approvals are listed as built in
- Enterprise plan lists SSO, SCIM, audit logs and HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA
- States SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, and that customer data is encrypted, never sold and never used to train models
Trade-offs to weigh
- Credit-based: Team starts at $29.99 per user per month for 3,000 credits, and top-ups are $10 per 1,000 credits
- Billed per active seat, so cost follows headcount as well as usage
- The Free plan includes $50 of credits that last 7 days
When Swfte is the better choice
When you need a shared model gateway, per-team controls and one platform for a fleet of agents rather than per-seat assistants.
Swfte Studio builds agents and workflows visually, and uses the Connect gateway for model access, so routing, failover and cost tracking are shared. Studio lists testing and evaluation, semantic versions with rollbacks, and human-approval steps in workflows. Nexus adds agent governance.
Lindy has ready-made agents and a larger stated integration count (1,500+ against Studio’s 100+). Swfte is earlier on enterprise identity: SAML SSO and SCIM are in development.
Where Swfte fits
How to migrate from Lindy to Swfte
- List your agents and what each does
Write down each Lindy agent, its trigger, the tools it uses and who owns it. Credits give you a usage figure per agent to compare against.
- Record prompts and settings
We do not list an import for Lindy agents, so copy prompts, tool lists and approval rules into a document. Do not paste credentials into it.
- Rebuild one agent in Studio
Start with one agent. Recreate the trigger, the prompt, the tools and any approval step. Studio’s free plan includes 10 workflows, 5 agents and 2,000 executions per month.
- Test on real inputs
Run 20 to 50 real inputs through Studio’s testing and evaluation and compare outputs with the Lindy version.
- Run both, then cut over
Send live triggers to both for a while, compare outputs, failures and cost, then move agents one at a time and cancel seats only when nothing depends on them.

Frequently asked questions about Lindy alternatives
How does Lindy pricing work?
Lindy bills in credits. Its pricing page lists Free ($50 of credits that last 7 days), Team from $29.99 per user per month for 3,000 credits, scaling to larger credit bundles, and Enterprise as custom. Top-ups are $10 per 1,000 credits and billing is per active seat.
How does Swfte pricing compare?
Swfte Studio lists Free (10 workflows, 5 agents, 2,000 executions per month), Pro $39, Team $99 with 3 users included, and Enterprise custom. The units differ from credits, so compare on your own workload.
Can I import Lindy agents into Swfte?
No. We do not list an import for Lindy agents, so they are rebuilt in Studio.
Which is better for compliance?
Lindy states SOC 2 and GDPR compliance and lists HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA on Enterprise. Swfte does not hold a SOC 2 report or an ISO 27001 certificate and does not sign HIPAA BAAs today; a SOC 2 Type I audit is in preparation, and the trust page has the current status. Ask each vendor for its documents and confirm scope for your use case.
Does Lindy support MCP?
Lindy’s pricing page lists MCP support and 1,500+ integrations.
