# A Lindy alternative for jobs you prove first.

Arclyx gives your business AI agents with no workflow to build. Describe a job in one sentence, try it on your real tools before it does anything, and get drafts in Gmail and Outlook to review and send. Every run stops at $2 unless you change it. Lindy is built as one AI employee across your tools. [1]

A “Try it” dry run of Inbox triage, an Arclyx agent:

- Reads: Gmail · unread since yesterday
- Reads: Gmail · a thread, when needed
- Writes: Needs a reply, FYI or can wait
- Held: Post to #my-inbox · not sent
- Done: Held step listed for you

## Arclyx vs Lindy, side by side

Nine things teams ask before they pick an AI agent platform. Each Lindy cell links the Lindy page it came from, read on 26 October 2026.

| What you need | Lindy | Arclyx |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How you build an agent | Describe a routine in a sentence, or show Lindy a task once and it learns how you do it. [1] | Describe the job in one sentence and Arclyx drafts the agent. |
| Checking it before it counts | No separate test or dry-run step is described on the pages we checked. [1, 2] | “Try it” is a dry run on your real tools: it reads for real, holds anything outward and lists it as not sent. |
| What starts a run | Schedules, moments like a reply being needed or a meeting ending, and @mentions in a channel it's in. [1] | A schedule, a webhook or a Slack @mention. “Run it now” starts a real run by hand. |
| Apps it connects to | 1,500+ integrations plus MCP. Where a tool has no integration it can drive a browser; its pricing lists this as computer use. [1, 2] | 12 built-in connectors, plus any remote MCP server a workspace admin adds. Web search and fetch, no browser. |
| Sending and approvals | Anything with outside impact, like sending an email, waits for your approval. [1, 2] | In Gmail and Outlook it writes drafts for you to review and send. Its own email goes only to the person it runs for; Slack posts go to the one channel set on the agent. Approving each action before it runs is coming soon. |
| Seeing what it did and cost | Work is measured in credits; its pricing page gives credit ranges by kind of task. [2] | Every run's steps and tokens, and its price on paid plans. Each run stops at its spend ceiling, $2 unless you change it. |
| Where it runs | Hosted by Lindy. [1] | Hosted by Arclyx in North America. Its code isn't public. |
| Security it states | States SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA and PIPEDA compliance; SSO, SCIM and audit logs on Enterprise. [1, 2] | Encryption in transit, credentials stored encrypted, org-level isolation, no training on your content, zero data retention where the model provider offers it. No SOC 2 claim. |
| How it's priced | Free: $50 of credits for 7 days. Team: a monthly price per user, with credits pooled across the team; its pricing page has the current tiers. Enterprise: custom. [2] | Private beta, with Free, Team and Enterprise plans. Early access through the waitlist. |

## Should you choose Lindy or Arclyx?

Both build AI agents, for different kinds of businesses. Here's who each one suits.

Arclyx suits you if:

- You want no workflow to build: describe the job in one sentence.
- You want to try it on your real tools before it does anything.
- You want drafts in Gmail and Outlook that you review and send, and email only to you. Approving each action is coming soon.
- You want a $2 limit on every run unless you change it, and every step on record.

Lindy suits you if:

- You want one assistant across email, meetings and phone calls. [1]
- You need it to use a browser where a tool has no integration. [1]
- You need HIPAA with a signed BAA, or SSO and SCIM, today. [2]
- You want 1,500+ integrations out of the box. [1]

## Where Arclyx and Lindy differ

### How do you build an agent in each?

- Lindy: Lindy learns by example: show it a task once and it takes it from there, or set up a routine with a sentence. [1]
- Arclyx: You write the job as one sentence, for example what to read, what to work out and where the result goes. Arclyx drafts the agent from it, one agent per job.

### Can you check an agent before it runs?

- Lindy: Lindy holds anything with outside impact, like sending an email, for your approval. The pages we checked don't describe a separate test run. [1, 2]
- Arclyx: “Try it” runs a draft as a dry run: it reads with your real tools, holds anything outward and lists what it would have sent. “Run it now” is the real run.

### What can it do beyond your connected apps?

- Lindy: Lindy can drive a browser where a tool has no integration, and it handles phone calls. [1]
- Arclyx: Arclyx agents have web search and page reading. Browser use and phone calls aren't among their tools. Anything else goes through a remote MCP server an admin adds.

### What does each say about security?

- Lindy: Lindy states SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA and PIPEDA compliance, with SSO, SCIM, audit logs and a HIPAA BAA on Enterprise. [1, 2]
- Arclyx: Arclyx claims no certification. Its privacy policy covers encryption in transit, encrypted credentials, org-level isolation, an isolated sandbox and no training on your content. Models run with zero data retention where the provider offers it.

## Lindy alternatives, asked and answered

### What are the best Lindy alternatives?

It depends on the job. If you want one agent per job, built from a sentence and tried as a dry run first, Arclyx fits. If you want to self-host workflows, n8n does that. Lindy itself fits one assistant across email, meetings and calls. [3, 1]

### Can Arclyx make phone calls or use a browser like Lindy?

No. Browser use and phone calls aren't among Arclyx agents' tools. They use their connectors, web search and page reading, and any remote MCP server your admin adds. Lindy lists phone calls and browser use on its site, checked 26 October 2026. [1]

### Does Arclyx send email for me?

It drafts, and you send. In Gmail and Outlook it writes drafts for you to review and send. Its own emails, from Arclyx, go only to the person it runs for. Lindy instead holds anything with outside impact for your approval; approving each action is coming soon to Arclyx. [1, 2]
