Switch from Sintra to Task Machine
Sintra organizes business work through role-based Helpers, chats and shared Brain AI knowledge. Task Machine gives each job an owned Task with its plan, decisions and execution history together.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Why people switch
-
Credits can stop work
Sintra says Helpers stop working when workspace credits run out. Unused plan credits reset each billing period rather than rolling over.
-
Custom connections need alternatives
Sintra's integration guide says it does not provide a public API. Its built-in connections may fit your apps, but an API-dependent process needs another route.
-
Archiving needs a workflow
Sintra says scheduled task outputs stay in its inbox and Tasks page, without long-term archiving or automatic export unless you design a workflow for it.

| Area | In Sintra | In Task Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Agents |
In Sintra
Sintra includes 12 core specialists for jobs such as social media, customer support and data analysis. Team chat has a leader that delegates work and combines results. |
In Task Machine
Give an agent standing instructions and assign it a Task. People and agents can own the same kind of work record, with its plan, discussion, decisions and runs together. |
| Recurring work |
In Sintra
Assign a scheduled task to a Helper or let Sintra choose one. Runs use your connected apps and Brain AI, and an executed task opens a chat for feedback. |
In Task Machine
Start a Task or Workflow once or on a repeat in your timezone. A recurring job keeps one stable root Task and gives each occurrence its own status and history. |
| Approval |
In Sintra
Chat shows approval cards before sending, publishing, scheduling or spending. You can deliberately set a scheduled task to act without your approval. |
In Task Machine
Set each agent's actions to Ask first or Automatic and review decisions in your Inbox. An explicit Human approval step holds a Workflow before an action such as publishing. |
| Knowledge |
In Sintra
Brain AI holds shared business context. You can add, edit, search and remove text, links, files, images and videos. |
In Task Machine
Put shared source files and guidance in the Library. Agents keep reusable lessons in Memory, and you can read, correct and restore those notes. |
| Workflows |
In Sintra
Describe a repeatable multi-step process in chat and save it as a skill, such as checking a price list before preparing a quote. |
In Task Machine
Build explicit steps with branches, human questions and approvals. Verifier checks judge a result against its requirements and send failed work back with feedback. |
| Connections |
In Sintra
Built-in integrations let Helpers work with email, calendars, social accounts, files and analytics. You can disconnect them at any time. |
In Task Machine
Install services from the Connectors catalog or add a custom connection through an API, a command-line tool or Model Context Protocol. Assign each connection to the agents that need it. |
| Pricing |
In Sintra
Sintra X's promotional monthly plan is $48.50 with 250 credits. Longer terms are paid upfront and still provide 250 credits each month. Tax is added at checkout. |
In Task Machine
Usage based, from $29 a month before tax. The whole payment becomes usage that your workspace shares, with no base fee. |
A fact we cannot find or cannot check is left out, and prices can change after the date shown. A review summary reports what reviewers wrote and is not our own finding. Task Machine publishes this comparison and is an interested party. Sintra is named only to identify it, and there is no relationship between the two companies. Has something changed? Tell us.
You may stay with Sintra if
You may stay with Sintra if its business specialists and shared knowledge already fit your marketing and administration. Its Helper guide describes Soshie creating social posts and Vizzy taking meeting notes, with synchronized iPhone, iPad and Android apps. Needing recurring work or draft approval alone is not a reason to replace it.
What you give up
Task Machine's docs do not describe a Sintra Brain AI importer, Sintra's named Helper lineup or a bundled meeting notetaker. You rebuild the instructions, shared context and account connections for each job you move. Keep a separate meeting tool if that is part of your routine.
There is no trial. Your first payment funds usage, and AI work and execution consume it even when an attempt does not deliver the result you wanted. Read Usage and fees before moving a busy schedule.
How the switch works
- Before cancelling, save the messages and generated documents you need to Google Drive. Download and open those files to check them. Keep original Brain AI source files and copy the rules, skills, task descriptions and timings you want to rebuild. Check Sintra's export options for anything else you need to retain.
- Create your workspace, upload shared reference files to the Library, and connect the accounts the first job needs. Keep credentials in the Vault, not in copied instructions.
- Pick a Playbook for one familiar job, such as a weekly report. Adapt its agent instructions and output requirements from your saved material. Rebuild a saved Sintra skill as explicit steps in a Workflow when the job needs branches, checks or approval.
- Choose Supervised autonomy for the new setup and keep an approval before sending or publishing. Test it with copied inputs and compare its output with a result you already accepted.
- Confirm the schedule and timezone, then pause the corresponding Sintra task before enabling replacement live actions. After checking your archive and replacement, manage the old subscription through Sintra's billing settings.
Common questions
Can I bring my Brain AI data and chats?
Keep your original files and copy the guidance you want to retain. Sintra documents saving individual chat messages and documents to Google Drive, not a migration into Task Machine. Upload the retained files to the Library and rebuild agent instructions separately.
How do the costs compare?
Sintra's monthly offer includes a credit allowance. Task Machine's pricing starts at $29 a month before tax, with the whole payment available as workspace usage and no base fee or trial. The units differ, so compare the usage of one representative job. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts.
Will my saved Sintra skills run unchanged?
Treat Sintra's saved multi-step skills as reference material. Task Machine's docs do not describe importing them, so rebuild the process with Skills or a Workflow, then test its outputs and approval boundaries.
Can recurring work wait for my approval?
Yes. Put a Human approval step before the action you want to control. A schedule does not remove that step, and the decision arrives in your Inbox.
