TulipFarm vs Tray.ai: company-wide integration or team records

Tray.ai connects enterprise systems, even behind your firewall. TulipFarm gives one team shared tables, and agents that wait for an OK on the actions you pick.

  • Tables built for your business records

    TulipFarm

    See Tables

    How Tray.ai handles it

    Data Tables store data in a table to support uses such as lookup tables. You add one from scratch or import a CSV.

  • The agent asks before it changes an order

    TulipFarm

    On actions you pick, the agent shows the exact change and waits for a person to approve it.

    See Agents

    How Tray.ai handles it

    Merlin Agent Builder lists human-in-the-loop and approval workflows for sensitive actions.

  • Admins can’t open your personal chats

    TulipFarm

    Workspace admins can’t open members’ personal chats or private agent tasks.

    See Agent tasks

    How Tray.ai handles it

    In its role model, an Admin has full privileges on all assets.

Switching from Tray.ai

TulipFarm can’t import Tray.ai workflows or agents. Move one team’s job at a time and keep Tray.ai running for the rest.

  1. Pick one team’s job

    Choose work that lives with one team, such as wholesale orders, rather than a company-wide integration.

  2. Bring the records in

    Export the Data Table or sheet behind it as CSV, then import it into a TulipFarm table with field rules.

  3. Rebuild the agent and its tools

    Paste the agent’s instructions into a skill, rebuild its workflows, and choose which actions need approval.

  4. Run both, then switch

    Run both for one cycle and compare. Your first signup includes $50 in free credits.

Questions about TulipFarm and Tray.ai

Is TulipFarm a Tray.ai alternative?

Yes, for smaller teams that want records, agents and workflows without an integration project. You can sign up for TulipFarm and start the same day. Tray.ai is an enterprise integration and agent platform that you buy after a demo.

What is the main difference between TulipFarm and Tray.ai?

Tray.ai connects a company’s systems through 700+ connectors, with agents built on top as an add-on. TulipFarm is a workspace where the records live in built-in tables, and agents show the exact change before a person approves it on the actions you pick.

Can TulipFarm do everything Tray.ai can?

No. Tray.ai has far more connectors, on-prem connectivity, a choice of US, EU or APAC hosting, SAML SSO and SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audits. TulipFarm has none of those today. It has built-in tables with field rules and workflows that resume after a restart.

When should I just use Tray.ai?

Choose Tray.ai if you integrate enterprise systems such as an ERP, need data to stay in a region, or must pass a security review that requires SOC 2 and SSO. It also fits if your agents need to talk to people in Microsoft Teams.

Can I move my Tray.ai workflows to TulipFarm?

Not automatically. Rebuild one team’s job at a time: export its Data Table or sheet as CSV, import it into a TulipFarm table, paste the agent’s instructions into a skill, and run both until you trust the result.

How much does TulipFarm cost compared with Tray.ai?

Your first TulipFarm Cloud signup includes $50 in free credits. Paid plans aren’t public yet; see the pricing page to ask for more credits or apply for student, NGO or startup support. Tray.ai doesn’t publish prices, and its Pro, Team and Enterprise plans start with a demo. Merlin Agent Builder and Agent Gateway are sold as add-ons.
