# Sintra vs. HANK: 12 AI Helpers or One AI Boss?

*Prices checked October 20, 2026, on sintra.ai. Prices change. Check their site before you buy anything.*

Sintra and HANK have something in common. Sintra says its helpers are based on Claude 4.5 Sonnet. HANK AI runs on Claude, too.

Same engine. So the real question is who's driving—and who checks the work before it leaves the building.

Let me give Sintra its due first.

## What Sintra does well

Sintra gives you 12 AI helpers with names and jobs. Buddy does business development. Cassie handles customer support. Penn writes copy. Soshie runs social media. Seomi does SEO. Milli is a sales manager. There are six more, from a recruiter to a virtual assistant.

It's built for small business owners, and it shows. Their site says, "Zero technical setup. Simply chat and ask."

It has a shared memory they call Brain AI: "One memory across your whole team." You feed it your documents and tone, and the helpers learn your business over time.

It speaks 100+ languages. It has apps for iPhone and Android. Support runs 24/7.

And the price is low. That's a fair start for an owner who wants to try AI this afternoon.

## What Sintra costs

Their plan is called Sintra X. On the pricing page I checked:

- 1-month plan: $48.50 a month
- 3-month plan: $23.60 a month
- 12-month plan: $15.60 a month

Every plan includes all 12 helpers and 250 credits a month. Credits reset each month. They're used for advanced AI actions, and you can buy top-ups when you run out. You can also buy one helper alone for $39 a month.

The guarantee is a 14-day money-back window on paid plans. In their words: "**If you are not 100% satisfied, tell us within 14 days of buying Sintra AI employees and get a full refund.**" Free trials aren't covered.

That's a fair, clean guarantee. But you have to find out on your own, in 14 days, whether 12 helpers made your life easier.

## Who does the work?

Every AI tool takes plain-language requests now, Sintra and HANK included. With Sintra, you pick a helper, tell it what you want, and it drafts. Then you pick the next helper and do it again.

Twelve helpers is twelve jobs to hand out. I call that helper-herding. You wanted fewer things to manage, not more.

With HANK, Michael and I install him on a 90-minute call. We map the gap between your tools and your goals, and HANK runs the work. You're the owner again, not a dispatcher.

## Who checks the work?

I didn't find a step on Sintra's home page or pricing page where the work gets checked before it goes out. Their human support is there to help you. The reviewing is up to you.

That means every post, email, and reply lands on your desk first.

**HANK inspects his own work before anything goes out.** Meridian, his built-in inspector, checks it against your rules. That's the job HANK was built for: supervisor, quality inspector, and boss.

## Who owns it?

Sintra is a subscription app. Your helpers and your Brain AI live inside it.

**HANK lives in files on your own Drive**, running on the Claude plan you already pay for.

> Same engine. Different boss.

## What does Sintra do that HANK doesn't?

Let me be straight with you.

- **You can start today.** Sign up, chat, and go. HANK starts with a 90-minute call on the calendar.
- **It costs less up front.** $15.60 a month on the 12-month plan beats $1,000 once on day one.
- **It comes with 12 ready-made roles**, including a recruiter and a personal growth coach.
- **It speaks 100+ languages** out of the box, with 24/7 support.

If you want a cheap way to try AI and you have the time to run it, Sintra is a fair choice.

## Side by side

|  | Sintra | HANK AI |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who does the work? | You hand jobs to 12 helpers | We install it. HANK runs it. |
| Who checks the work? | You | HANK inspects before anything goes out |
| What does it cost? | $15.60 to $48.50 a month; 250 credits a month | $1,000 once + your own Claude plan |
| Who owns it? | Rented | Files on your own Drive |
| How do you set it up? | Sign up and chat | Installed on a 90-minute call |
| What does it run on? | Claude 4.5 Sonnet (per Sintra) | Your own Claude plan |
| What's the guarantee? | 14-day money back | The 90-Minute Promise |

## Twelve helpers still need one boss.

Sintra hands you a team. Somebody still has to run it and check it.

If you want someone in charge of the work, that's HANK.

## The 90-Minute Promise

Give us 90 minutes. We'll inspect your tools, map the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and install HANK on that same call to start closing it.

If he isn't making your life easier by the time we hang up, **you get your money back, you keep HANK**, and we still support you for 30 days. You'll need tools HANK can connect to and a paid Claude plan.

**Want AI your team will actually use?**

HANK is the AI chief of staff Michael Blum and I built. It starts with a 90-minute Gap Inspection of your tools versus your goals, and HANK is installed on that same call, working on the chores we pick together. It's simple, because it's so advanced.
