Pick Sintra if
you want a dozen chat helpers covering every part of the business, at the lowest monthly price if you pay a year up front.
Minion Fleet vs Sintra. Which fits a small business?
Both give you AI helpers with names. They differ on what a helper is for, how it runs, and what leaves your accounts without you.
The short answer.
Pick Minion Fleet if
you want a few named minions to do one real job every week inside your own apps, with every send waiting on your yes.
| Side by side | Minion Fleet | Sintra |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Named minions led by your lead minion. You ask for a job, not a tool: late invoices chased, your inbox sorted, a Monday brief on competitors, your week planned. | Twelve named helpers (Buddy for business development, Cassie for customer support, Vizzy as a virtual assistant, and nine more). Their site says every AI worker runs as a chatbot, with a shared knowledge base. |
| How it runs | Ask once in your own words. Say “every Monday” and it becomes a Routine that runs every week inside the apps you already use, with what each run cost. | You chat and ask. Their site also says work can be set to run around the clock, for example scheduling social posts; how a scheduled run starts is not stated on their site. |
| What it asks before sending | Nothing sends, pays, posts or deletes without your yes, checked on our server for every app action. You see the exact draft first, and you can undo an approval for a few seconds after. | Their site says you can set “priorities, guidelines, and approval levels”, and that “once onboarded, AI employees don’t require supervision, follow-ups, or performance check-ins”. What a helper does without asking by default is not stated on their site. |
| Price | Starter $19 includes $7 of usage, Pro $49 includes $20 of usage, Max $129 includes $95 of usage, all a month. More usage at cost, under a spending limit you set. | One plan, Sintra X, with 250 credits a month: $48.50 for one month, $23.60 a month on 3 months (works out to $70.80 for the 3 months), or $15.60 a month on 12 months (works out to $187.20 a year). The 1-month price is shown as a sale from $97. |
| Free option | The first 100 sign-ups get $5 of usage free, no card. After that, every plan is monthly, from $19. | No free plan or trial stated on their site. A 14-day money-back guarantee on every plan. |
| Who it’s for | Solo business owners, freelancers and creators who want the work done inside Gmail, Stripe, QuickBooks or their calendar, with no prompts to learn. US only for now. | “AI employees for business owners”: solo founders to growing teams, in over 100 countries. |
Where we differ.
Not a feature count. Three things about how a minion works that you can check on this site.
- A send waits for your yes, on our server.
- Sintra lets you set approval levels, and says its employees need no supervision once onboarded. Minion Fleet checks every app action against your rule for that app at the moment it runs, so money, messages to other people, deleting and posting always ask first, whatever a minion read on the way. You see the exact email before it goes.
- One job each, every week.
- Sintra gives you a helper for each part of the business. We give you a job: ask for late invoices chased and Tally finds who owes you while Pip drafts the reminders, every Monday; ask for your inbox and it opens sorted every weekday.
- Usage in dollars, not credits.
- Sintra’s plan includes 250 credits a month. Our Starter plan includes $7 of usage, a Monday run of invoice reminders is about $0.08, and every job shows what it cost on its receipt.

Hi Dana, Just a quick note that invoice 1042 for $1,250 was due on October 24. I expect it slipped through. You can pay with the link on the invoice. Thanks so much, Juniper Bakery
