# Alternatives to Lindy > Source: https://theagentsindex.com/lindy/alternatives (current datasheets, evidence-ranked) Candidates share the baseline category or are previously researched peers. Requirements, preserved strengths, explicit trade-offs and research coverage decide the order; paid tier does not. ## Shortlist ### 1. LangChain Open source agent frameworks plus LangSmith, a hosted platform to trace, evaluate, deploy and govern agents. **Research coverage:** 34/35 criteria **Where it improves on Lindy:** - [Writes code: yes — The vendor ships dcode, a free open-source terminal coding agent that writes and runs code from a prompt; it is a separate package from the paid LangSmith platform.](https://www.langchain.com/dcode) - [Ships it: yes — LangSmith Deployment runs agents in production with one-click deploy from Studio and a control-plane API; the free Developer plan shows Deployment as N/A, so shipping starts at Plus.](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/studio) - [Done-for-you service: partial — You run the software yourself on every self-serve plan; only Enterprise buyers get LangChain engineers, architectural guidance and team training alongside the product.](https://www.langchain.com/pricing) **Trade-offs against Lindy:** - No researched regression against the baseline.

Salesforce Agentforce Salesforce's platform for building, deploying and monitoring AI agents on top of CRM data. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Lindy:** - [Writes code: yes — The Agentforce Vibes coding agent turns a natural-language description into Salesforce code and metadata.](https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/developers/vibe-coding/) - [Debugs and fixes: yes — Vibes runs the test or deployment, reads the failure and iterates toward a fix rather than stopping at the error.](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/agentforcevibes/guide/afv-agentic-dev.html) - [Writes tests: yes — Apex test classes and LWC Jest tests are generated alongside the code, with a dedicated QA Validator sub-agent for coverage.](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/agentforcevibes/guide/afv-agentic-dev.html) **Trade-offs against Lindy:** - [Agent permissions: partial — Guardrails and filters bound which topics and actions an agent may reach and data access honours existing Salesforce permissions, but an approval-before-every-action mode is documented only for the Agentforce Vibes coding agent.](https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/how-it-works/) [View Salesforce Agentforce](https://theagentsindex.com/salesforce-agentforce) ### 3. ElevenLabs Agents Hosted platform for building voice and chat agents, with telephony, SDKs and a choice of LLM. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Lindy:** - [Done-for-you service: partial — Self-serve software you run, but enterprises can buy ElevenLabs Forward Deployed Engineers who scope, build and stabilise the deployment; no price is published.](https://elevenlabs.io/agents/forward-deployed-engineers) - [Runs autonomously: yes — Agents run whole calls and chats unattended, including scheduled outbound campaigns, with explicit system tools to end a call or hand off to a human number.](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/phone-numbers/batch-calls) - [Multi-agent: yes — An orchestrator agent routes a live conversation to specialist agents on natural-language conditions, and transfers can be nested; the transcript carries across.](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/customization/tools/system-tools/agent-transfer) **Trade-offs against Lindy:** - [Admin controls: partial — Guardrails constrain what an agent may say and per-tool approval constrains what it may do, but Guardrails is in Alpha and enabling MCP servers is not restricted to admins.](https://elevenlabs.io/docs/eleven-agents/best-practices/guardrails) [View ElevenLabs Agents](https://theagentsindex.com/elevenlabs-conversational-ai) ### 4. Gumloop Multiplayer AI agent builder: teams build agents over their apps while IT keeps governance and spend control. **Research coverage:** 32/35 criteria **Where it improves on Lindy:** - [Writes code: yes — Agents generate and execute Python and shell code in a per-conversation cloud sandbox that is on by default, and can ship code as a shareable artifact.](https://www.gumloop.com/vs/n8n) - [Runs autonomously: yes — Plain-English triggers let agents monitor apps or the web and act with no human in the loop; scheduled and webhook triggers run unattended.](https://www.gumloop.com/products/agents) - [Multi-agent: yes — Multiple agents can be orchestrated inside deterministic workflows and an agent can delegate to subagents, so coordination is a first-class feature.](https://www.gumloop.com/products/agents) **Trade-offs against Lindy:** - [Admin controls: partial — Pro limits connector guardrails to a single agent's scope; org-wide policies, role-based access and model access control are Enterprise-only rows in the same table.](https://www.gumloop.com/pricing) [View Gumloop](https://theagentsindex.com/gumloop) ### 5. Agno Python SDK, open-source AgentOS runtime and hosted control plane for building and operating agents. **Research coverage:** 35/35 criteria **Where it improves on Lindy:** - [Writes code: yes — Ships a CodingTools toolkit whose documented job is editing files and running commands in a scoped project directory.](https://docs.agno.com/use-cases/coding-agents) - [Debugs and fixes: yes — Bug fixing is a documented pattern: reproduce, patch, rerun the failing tests.](https://docs.agno.com/use-cases/coding-agents) - [Reviews code: yes — Code review over a diff is one of the documented coding-agent patterns.](https://docs.agno.com/use-cases/coding-agents) **Trade-offs against Lindy:** - [Agent permissions: partial — Runs are unattended unless a tool is marked for approval; then the run pauses in your database until an admin resolves it.](https://docs.agno.com/agent-os/approvals/overview) - [Pooled budget: partial — There is no metered balance to pool; seats share access to the same connected runtimes and usage inside a connection is unlimited.](https://www.agno.com/pricing) - [Certifications: partial — SOC 2 compliance is asserted on the homepage; Enterprise adds security reviews.
