Its approval setting applies in shared Slack threads only, so writes asked for by direct message, text or web chat run unasked, which its pricing page does not say. It has no status page, and its changelog stops in October 2025.\n\n**Orchid.** Orchid is a paid executive assistant over iMessage, SMS and Telegram that holds drafts and calendar holds until the owner approves, with a public status page and a named subprocessor list. No outside agent can call it, there's no free tier, and its privacy policy allows training a personal model while its blog says it never trains.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Lindy\n\n1. Treat a request sent by direct message, text or web chat as unguarded. Approval prompts appear in shared Slack threads only.\n2. Run a routine as a dry run before turning it on. A dry run reads real data and sends, posts and writes nothing.\n3. Turn off unused tools after adding an MCP server. Every supported tool arrives switched on, and a large server adds more than a hundred.\n4. Expect a billed seat for anyone who mentions Lindy in Slack. A teammate who joins that way has seven free days first.\n5. Connect only hosted MCP servers on public HTTPS with streamable HTTP, the one kind the docs describe.\n\n### Orchid\n\n1. Don't plan to call Orchid from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, SMS and Telegram threads.\n2. Check status.orchid.ai before telling the owner Orchid is down. The 7 August incident moved it to a new number.\n3. Tell the owner that drafts and holds wait for their approval unless they widen it.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lindy or Orchid?\n\nLindy scores 32.3 (F) on agent readiness against Orchid's 20.2 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Orchid leads on reliability, maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lindy-vs-orchid-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lindy-vs-orchid-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lindy\", \"b\": \"orchid-ai\"}`.
