Synchronise vs Sintra: Twelve Helpers or One Queue?
tl;dr
Sintra gives you twelve chat helpers you brief one at a time, and it is cheaper to start. Synchronise is one approval queue where connected tools produce finished work you release, built for consumer brands chasing stockists. Choose Sintra for cheap role-based chat. Choose Synchronise for cross-app work behind a single approval gate.
The quick answer
Sintra and Synchronise both promise an AI employee, but they work in opposite ways. Sintra is twelve named chat helpers you brief one by one. Synchronise is one queue that watches your connected tools and stages finished work for you to approve.
If you want cheap, role-based helpers you drive by hand, Sintra fits. If you sell a consumer product and want stockist leads found, wholesale outreach drafted and follow-ups kept alive, then held behind one yes, Synchronise fits. Prices below were checked in July 2026.
Side by side
| Synchronise | Sintra | |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | One approval queue, the Agent Inbox | Twelve named chat helpers |
| How work starts | Watches connected tools, drafts on its own | You brief a helper in chat |
| Cross-app workflows | Yes, across connected tools | No, per Lindy's review |
| Shared context | One workspace the agents share | Helpers do not share context with each other |
| Approval | Agents cannot send, post or spend | Human in the loop, chat-based |
| Integrations | 3,000 plus tools by OAuth | Around 30 listed |
| Pricing (checked July 2026) | Free tier, paid to A$249/mo | Bundle $15.60/mo (12-month) to $48.50/mo monthly, single helper $39/mo |
| Focus | Consumer brands chasing stockists, Australian | Role-based helpers, broad |
The real difference
Sintra is a set of twelve helpers. Each is good at a role, social, support, copy and so on, but you brief them one at a time, they do not run cross-app workflows, and per Lindy's review they do not share context with each other. You are the connective tissue, opening the right helper, pasting the right context, moving the output along.
Synchronise inverts that. Instead of twelve assistants waiting for a prompt, one system watches your connected tools, Gmail or Outlook, Shopify, Xero, HubSpot and more, and produces finished work as cards in a single queue: stockist leads researched, wholesale pitches drafted in your voice, quiet accounts revived. The context is shared because it is one workspace, and the work is cross-app because the tools are connected. Your job is to approve, not to orchestrate.
That is the choice in one line. Sintra asks you to run the helpers. Synchronise runs the watching and drafting and asks you to release the result.
When Sintra wins
Sintra wins on price at the entry point and on polish. The bundle starts at $15.60 per month on a 12-month term, cheaper than Synchronise's paid plans, and a single helper is $39 per month.
It also wins if what you actually want is a good chat helper for one or two roles, a copywriter or a social assistant you brief directly, and you do not need connected tools or cross-app workflows. For that job, twelve named helpers in one polished product is a clean fit.
When Synchronise wins
Synchronise wins when you sell a product and the work spans your tools. It connects 3,000 plus tools, watches them, and drafts stockist outreach, follow-ups, quiet-account revivals and reports without you opening a helper each time. If growth means more shelves, the finding and chasing is exactly the work it stages for you.
It also wins on the guardrail. Its agents structurally cannot send, post or spend, so everything lands as an approval card. If you want finished work produced across apps and held behind one yes, rather than twelve separate chats you drive by hand, Synchronise is the closer fit. There is a free tier to test it first.
Questions
- Is Sintra cheaper than Synchronise?
- At the entry point, yes. Sintra's bundle starts at $15.60 per month on a 12-month term, checked July 2026, below Synchronise's paid plans. Synchronise has a free tier and paid plans to A$249 per month, so both let you start without a large commitment.
- Can Sintra run workflows across my apps like Synchronise?
- No. Per Lindy's review, Sintra's helpers do not run cross-app workflows and do not share context with each other, so you brief each one separately. Synchronise watches connected tools and produces cross-app work in one shared queue that you approve.
