Key features
Lindy
- Shared teammate in Slack
- A whole team shares one Lindy, summoned with an @mention in Slack channels and threads. It can also be reached by iMessage, by email and in the browser.
- Integrations and MCP
- Connects to Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot and more than 1,000 other apps, and can use any MCP server to reach tools that have no built-in integration.
- Meeting recording and notes
- Records meetings and writes notes into a shared library with folders that teammates can query later. It also handles scheduling, prep and follow-up.
- Scheduled routines
- Recurring work such as a morning brief, a Monday report or a Friday nudge can be set up in a sentence and run on a schedule.
- Skills and editable memory
- Comes with more than 40 skills, including research, data analysis and slide decks. New skills can be saved for the whole team, and its memory lives in plain files you can edit.
- Approvals
- Actions with outside impact, such as sending an email or updating a ticket, wait for approval. Read-only lookups from approved sources do not.
Origami Agents
- Website-first targeting
- Enter a company website and Origami works out the likely customers, then looks for people with a reason to buy now.
- Buying signals
- Searches job changes, hiring, funding, events, competitors and website visitors, and can describe new markets in plain words.
- Verified contact data
- Emails and phones run through a waterfall of providers; the pricing page passes provider cost through with no markup and charges nothing when no match is found.
- Built-in sequencer
- Email and social cadences of up to 10 steps, with a shared inbox for replies and no per-seat or per-mailbox fee.
- Done-for-you inboxes
- Separate sending inboxes are set up so the main address stays out of cold outreach, billed per inbox each month.
- Usage-based results
- Usage is spent when Origami builds a lead, a verified contact or an enrichment; chatting with the agent, transforming your own data and exporting are free.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
