Company in a BoxA field guide to business software

Documented comparison · AI and delegated work

Where should your AI work, and who sets it up?

Lindy, Relevance AI and AgentsFast start from different places: an assistant your team works with, a builder for agents across your apps, and a business workspace with its own AI team. Here is what each publishes about where the work happens, who sets it up and how usage is counted.

This compares published product information; it is not a matched hands-on comparison. We read each company’s pricing pages and documentation on 5 October 2026. The three starting points are what each company emphasizes, not limits on what each product can do. AgentsFast is in early access by invitation.

What the differences mean

Your apps or a new workspace. If your customer records and schedule already live in tools you like, Lindy and Relevance AI are built to work across them. AgentsFast puts a CRM, knowledge base and automations in its base and adds channels and software as you choose. If you plan to keep your current tools, ask how it would read and write them.

Who builds and maintains it. Lindy’s quickstart adds it to Slack and connects your accounts. Relevance AI offers a no-code builder, templates and its Invent agent. AgentsFast’s manager agent configures things in chat. Whichever route you take, ask who changes the setup when your services, prices or staff change.

Customer conversations. If you want AI answering customers, ask each vendor which channels it supports and who provides the phone number. For example, Relevance AI documents outbound phone agents that can use a number it provides, and inbound texts and calls through a Twilio number you connect. AgentsFast sells phone lines and texting as add-ons.

Reviews and approvals. The three describe different designs: Lindy shows approval prompts for writes in shared Slack threads, Relevance AI lets you require a person’s approval per tool, and AgentsFast offers optional per-agent AI review with your explicit rules first. Our guide to AI employee authority explains AgentsFast’s checks: they are turned on agent by agent, add response time and model usage, and don’t cover every path. These are different designs, not a security ranking. Ask to see them on the channels you would use.

Usage. Lindy pools credits per user across the team, and its billing docs describe optional overages, so check the limit and overage settings you choose. Relevance AI counts Actions and Vendor Credits; its plan docs say your own API keys let you skip Vendor Credits, with that usage billed by whoever issued the keys, while Actions still count. AgentsFast prices each add-on monthly, with allowances. Because the units differ, price a real month of your own work on the Lindy, Relevance AI and AgentsFast pricing pages.

Questions to ask any of them

  1. Where would this work run: in my current apps, or in yours?
  2. Who sets it up, and who changes it when my business changes?
  3. Which customer channels does it answer, and who provides the phone number?
  4. What is reviewed or approved before it happens, on which channels, and what isn’t?
  5. What counts as usage, what happens at the limit, and are there overages?
  6. What can I take with me if I leave?

What this comparison can’t tell you

It compares published information. We haven’t run a matched hands-on comparison of these three products for this guide, and it doesn’t rate their security or rank them. Prices and features change; check each pricing page before you decide.
