What Sintra includes, and what it charges

Sintra describes itself as AI employees for a small business: a digital team that runs your socials, inbox, website, content, customer support and sales operations. Each of its twelve helpers has a name and a role: Soshie for social media, Cassie for customer support, Dexter for data analysis, Buddy for business development, Emmie for email marketing, Gigi as a personal coach, Scouty for recruiting, Penn for copywriting, Commet for ecommerce, Milli for sales, Seomi for SEO and Vizzy as an executive assistant. A shared memory it calls Brain AI keeps your business context across all of them.

• A single helper is $39 a month. The bundle of all twelve, with 250 credits a month, lists at $97 a month on monthly billing, $59 a month on a 3 month plan and $52 a month on a 12 month plan, in USD. The page currently shows a sale price below each list price.
• Every plan includes all the helpers, integrations, support in 100+ languages, Brain AI, and a 14 day money-back guarantee. Credits reset each month, and advanced features spend them.
• It runs on the web and in apps for iPhone and Android, and names Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Google Drive and Notion among the tools it connects to.

Why you might look for a Sintra alternative

Sintra is cheap, friendly and covers a lot of roles in one app, which is exactly what many owners want. The reasons to compare are about fit rather than quality.

• You want work to start without you. Sintra says its helpers keep work moving around the clock, and Soshie can schedule social posts, but the product is built around asking each helper in its app. If you want a weekly report, a morning brief or a reply drafted the moment an email or a booking lands, compare how each option starts work.
• You need a role the twelve presets do not cover, or a helper shaped around your own process rather than a preset.
• You want the software itself: an open-source assistant you can run, inspect and keep on your own machine.
• You run work for several clients and want each client's helpers, keys and costs kept apart.

AI employee apps like Sintra

If you like the idea of hiring AI by role, these two sell the same promise with a different trade between price, roles and where you talk to them.

• Marblism: seven AI employees, Eva the executive assistant, Sonny for social media, Stan for lead generation, Walter the website builder, Penny for SEO, Rachel the receptionist and Linda the legal assistant. One plan covers all seven with 50 hours of work, unlimited businesses and unlimited team members, at $44 a month billed monthly or $24 a month billed yearly.
• Lindy: one AI teammate rather than a roster, native to Slack threads and mentions, with scheduled routines, 40+ skills, meeting recording and notes, inbox management, 1,500+ integrations and approvals before external actions. Plus is $29.99 a month per user with 3,000 credits, after $50 of free credits, and Pro is $99.99 a month per user with 15,000.

Assistants, platforms and runtimes

Three options sit outside the AI employee app shape: a general agent you may already pay for, a platform for building your own workforce, and the open-source runtime underneath many agent products.

• ChatGPT agent: the agent mode inside ChatGPT, which OpenAI pitches as bridging research and action. OpenAI's help center lists it on the Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu plans, with 40 agent messages a month on Plus and 400 on Pro, and scheduled tasks that call the agent count against that limit.
• Relevance AI: calls itself the home of the AI Workforce, for companies building agents, tools and multi-agent workforces with 2,000+ integrations, calling and meeting agents, and triggers. Its pricing page now lists one Enterprise plan with custom pricing through sales, so it suits a larger team more than a solo owner.
• OpenClaw: an MIT-licensed, open-source AI assistant that runs on your own computer and answers in the channels you already use, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, iMessage and Teams. It is free; you supply the computer, keep it on, and pay your model provider. Its README asks for Node 24.16 or later and installs as a background service.

Where Qoren fits, and where it does not

Qoren is not a chat app of preset helpers. It runs agents: each one lives in a dedicated managed environment on OpenClaw, Hermes or Codex, stays online, and works on a schedule, on a webhook, or when you message it. You start from a template in the gallery, and the agent sets itself up with you in its first conversation. Templates cover several of Sintra's roles: an executive assistant with a 06:30 brief, meeting prep and an evening wrap; a support inbox that works tickets from your own docs; a content marketer with a Monday queue of posts and a Wednesday newsletter draft; an applicant screener that scores every CV against your scorecard; an SEO watchdog; and an ecommerce manager.

• What it does well: scheduled tasks you can pause, webhook triggers from cal.com, GitHub, Stripe or any signed webhook, Telegram, Slack and Discord bots for OpenClaw and Hermes agents, an email inbox per agent, an encrypted vault, backups about every four hours, health checks with repair, and an Approvals page for actions you want to sign off first.
• Spend: prepaid credits with a hard stop, so an agent pauses at zero instead of running up a bill, and you can bring your own OpenRouter key on any plan. For an agency, Clients and cost per client keep each client's agents, keys and spend apart on the Ultimate, Business and Enterprise plans.
• What Sintra does better: a lower all-in price, with one subscription covering all twelve helpers and their credits and no separate model bill; a mobile app; a friendly chat for every role with one shared memory; social posting and scheduling built in; support in 100+ languages; and a 14 day money-back guarantee.
• What Qoren does not offer: a mobile app, a flat all-in price (model usage is billed on top of the plan), or posting to social networks for you. Most templates draft and report; they do not send, publish or act without you, and setup is a real conversation with the agent rather than a preset ready on day one.
