The short answer

n8n : n8n can be self-hosted and suits technical users who want full control, while Gumloop is built for non-technical staff with hosted browser agents. From €20/mo
Relevance AI : Relevance AI focuses on building AI agent workforces for sales and ops, while Gumloop puts more weight on browser agents and IT governance. From $19/mo
Lindy : Lindy leans toward personal AI assistants for inbox and meetings, while Gumloop targets company-wide agent building with model routing. From $49.99/user/mo

Why people look past Gumloop

Usage runs on credits plus an 8% orchestration fee, so costs grow with volume and are harder to predict than a flat seat price. Concurrency on Pro is capped at 5 workflow runs, and higher limits need a custom Enterprise deal.

What we noted

Credits plus an 8% orchestration fee
Pro caps concurrent runs at 5
No free plan listed, only a trial

Not the right fit for

Simple two-step app triggers on a tight budget
Teams wanting a fixed, predictable monthly bill
Users who need a self-hosted open source option

Worth keeping in mind: Gumloop pairs agent building with browser agents that log into sites, handle CAPTCHAs and hand off to a human, which covers tasks that API-only tools like Zapier cannot reach. Its Model Router also picks a cheaper model for routine steps, so credit spend stays lower than running every step on a frontier model.

What each one does differently

n8n

€20/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: n8n can be self-hosted and suits technical users who want full control, while Gumloop is built for non-technical staff with hosted browser agents.

Stands out: Billing counts full workflow executions, not individual steps, and the Community edition is free to self-host.

Watch out: Cloud prices are published in euros only. The Cloud trial is capped at 1,000 executions, and unused AI Assistant credits do not roll over.

Best for

Technical teams that want to self-host for free
Builders who prefer per-execution billing
Teams that want to drive workflows from Claude via MCP

Relevance AI

$19/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Relevance AI focuses on building AI agent workforces for sales and ops, while Gumloop puts more weight on browser agents and IT governance.

Stands out: Model costs are passed through at wholesale as Vendor Credits that roll over while you stay subscribed, and you can bring your own API keys to skip them. It also runs its own MCP server, so agents can be built and managed from Claude or Cursor.

Watch out: It is a builder, so someone has to design and test the agents; there are no ready-made recruiting workflows. Usage is metered in Actions, so busy agents can need top-ups at $80 per 1,000, and the free plan has been retired.

Best for

Recruiting and sales ops teams that want custom AI agents
Agencies automating research, enrichment and outbound prep
Teams that want to bring their own model API keys

Lindy

$49.99/user/mo 7 day free trial

Why it comes up: Lindy leans toward personal AI assistants for inbox and meetings, while Gumloop targets company-wide agent building with model routing.

Stands out: Lindy is one of the most mature assistants in this group: it drafts in your voice, records and follows up on meetings, connects to 1,500+ tools plus MCP, and asks before it sends, posts or updates anything.

Watch out: Every active user takes a paid seat, and credits are the real limit: when the shared pool runs dry Lindy pauses until the next cycle unless you top up at $10 per 1,000 credits. Lindy has changed its plans several times in 2026.

Best for

Recruiters buried in email, scheduling and interview follow-ups
Agency teams that work in Slack
Leaders who want daily briefs and meeting prep done for them
