Deployment and feature differences, checked 2 November 2026. Competitor features are vendor-advertised, not independently tested. No overall winner.

| 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 |
| Approvals | Configured tool rules and approval cards. Configured CRM rules block destructive operations and hold bulk changes. Not every outbound path is verified. | Approvals built in |
| Models | Free open-weight models or your own key, per bot, with cost on every reply | Choice of model |
| Apps and tools | MCP and app-connection adapters. A catalog listing is not a tested connection | 1,500+ integrations, MCP and computer use |
| Security | Self-hosted, so chats, tasks and memory stay in your database; no certification today | SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and PIPEDA; HIPAA with a BAA on Enterprise |
| 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.

## Where the other product advertises more

- Lindy holds SOC 2 Type II and offers HIPAA; Koshra holds no certification
- Lindy is public with a free start and published prices; Koshra is in private preview
- Lindy joins meetings, works in iMessage and has computer use; Koshra's visible browser is coming soon
- Lindy lists more integrations built in

## Coming to Koshra

Marked coming soon. None of this is counted as shipped.

- A visible browser for each bot
- Event triggers from webhooks and app events
