| Area | Koshra | Lindy |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI team with defined roles. In enabled spaces, a dispatcher can plan and assign work for review | An AI assistant per person, Slack-native, with meeting notes, inbox and scheduled work |
| Where it runs | Server-hosted assisted preview. Core data stays on the selected server. Files and model providers may process data elsewhere. | Hosted cloud service; no self-hosting listed on its pricing or security pages |

| Apps and tools | MCP and app-connection adapters. A catalog listing is not a tested connection | 1,500+ integrations, MCP and computer use |

| Licence | Built on an Apache-2.0-licensed foundation. Koshra terms are separate. | Hosted service; no open source edition listed |
| Price | Talk to us | Free start with 50 USD of credits for 7 days, no card; Team from 49.99 USD per active user a month with 5,000 credits; Enterprise custom |
Deployment and feature differences
- A server-hosted deployment can keep core data on the selected server. That is not a formal residency guarantee.
- Koshra uses an Apache-2.0-licensed foundation. Client use needs a separate agreement.
- A team of role bots with written jobs and limits, not one assistant per person
- Model provider choice and an API key are implemented. Free-tier availability is not guaranteed.
