SpringBrandvsRelay.appA Relay.app alternative.
Rebuild the job, not the flow.
Relay.app shut down in September 2026 and its accounts and workflows were deleted. In SpringBrand you describe each job in plain language, review the result, save it as an agent and run it on a schedule.

THE SHORT VERSIONYour workflows are gone.
Your workflows are gone.
Pick where each job goes next.
Choose a workflow tool with native approval steps when a job must pause mid-run for a person to approve, add data or pick a path, because SpringBrand has no mid-run approval step.
Choose SpringBrand when you can describe the job in plain language, such as reviewing leads, screening candidates or following up on calls, and want it saved as an agent that runs on a schedule; a saved Relay.app build prompt is a ready first draft of its instructions.
THE PRACTICAL DIFFERENCES
Your questions, answered side by side.
Relay.app is closed, so this is not a feature race. Each row is a question Relay.app users ask when they move a job, with what SpringBrand does and what Relay.app offered.

| What matters to your team | SpringBrand | Relay.app Workflow automation · closed |
|---|---|---|
| Is it still running? | Yes. Hosted service with Free, Plus, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. | No. Shut down in September 2026; accounts, workflows and run history were deleted. |
| How do I rebuild my workflow? | Describe the job in chat, or fill in instructions, data sources, connected apps and skills in a form; review one run and save it as an agent. | Exports cannot be imported anywhere, but each workflow's plain-language build prompt can be reused as the task description. |
| Can a person approve a step mid-run? | No mid-run approval step. You review the result before you save or schedule the agent, and agents can prepare drafts for your team to approve. | Yes. Workflows could pause for a person to approve, add data or choose a path (no longer available). |
| What happens while I'm offline? | Agents run in the cloud by day, by week or at a set time and post results to Slack, Microsoft Teams or Lark. | Scheduled and app-event triggers ran workflows in the background (no longer available). |
| How does it get better? | It learns from results and your feedback and remembers your preferences between runs. | Workflows ran as built until someone edited them. |
| What can it connect to? | Credits work across 10,000+ APIs and plugins; connect Gmail, Slack, HubSpot and other accounts once. | App connections and credentials were deleted at shutdown and must be reconnected elsewhere. |
| How many jobs can run at once? | 1 agent on Free, 2 on Plus, 5 on Pro, 20 on Max. | No longer available. |
| Who on my team can use it? | Share an agent with a link or publish it; Team plans add Owner, Admin and Member roles and pooled credits; SSO and SCIM on Enterprise. | No one; all accounts were deleted at shutdown. |
| What will it cost? | Free to start; Plus $29, Pro $59, Max $199 per month, lower billed annually. | Nothing is on sale; plans ended with the shutdown. |

Describe the job in chat.
Or fill in four parts.
Tell SpringBrand the job in plain language. It proposes the agent's setup — instructions, data sources, connected apps and skills — you confirm, and the same conversation becomes the agent's runner.
Prefer a form? Fill in the same four parts yourself. A Relay.app build prompt fits straight into the instructions, and the apps its steps touched become the connected apps.

Working in Claude Code?
Call SpringBrand from there too.
This is an extra way in, not the main one: SpringBrand's MCP server and plugin let Claude Code, Codex or Cursor call the same APIs and plugins, paid from the same credit balance.
Relay.app let you export MCP server definitions before it closed. Those definitions will not load anywhere else, but they list the actions your agent needed, which is a useful checklist when you reconnect apps.

Agents, Skills and APIs.
One subscription, one bill.
The marketplace has three shelves: ready-made Agents by function, such as Sales, Marketing and HR; Skills that add expertise, such as financial modelling; and APIs for data and tools. Credits work across 10,000+ APIs and plugins.
Ten tool subscriptions and ten bills become one subscription and one bill. Search, social, SEO and sales data are built in with no API keys to manage, including official Ahrefs and Semrush API access.
List the apps your Relay.app workflows touched. Connections did not survive the shutdown, so connect Gmail, Slack, HubSpot or other accounts once in SpringBrand and check the actions each one allows before you rely on it.

It gets better every run.
Upload documents, guidelines and product material to a company knowledge base, so the agent's answers and output follow your company's context.
Agents also improve after every run from the results and the feedback you give them, and remember your team's preferences and output formats.
Relay.app run history is gone unless you saved the CSV in your export. If you did, a few past runs make a good example of the output you expect from the new agent.

By day, by week or at a set time.
Results arrive where you work.
Schedule a task once and the agent runs it on time, every time, even while you are offline. Results and alerts are pushed to Slack, Microsoft Teams or Lark, such as a daily lead list or a weekly hiring update.
Scheduled tasks: 3 daily on Plus, 20 every 15 minutes on Pro, unlimited every 5 minutes on Max. The Free plan has none.
Recreate a Relay.app schedule only after one run has produced the result you expect, and check what happens when a source is missing or a tool call fails.

What changes the cost of an AI agent?
Work backward from one job: how often it ran in Relay.app, how many steps it took and which apps it used. That tells you the plan, the number of scheduled tasks and the credits you need.
Run frequency
Count how often each Relay.app workflow ran. That decides how many scheduled tasks you need and how often they run.
Work per run
An agent task uses about 15–40 credits depending on steps, tools and run time. Long research runs use more than a short summary.
Parallel work
If several jobs run at the same time, check how many agents your plan runs at once: 2 on Plus, 5 on Pro, 20 on Max.
CHOOSE FOR YOUR TEAM
Which way of working fits you?
Relay.app is closed, so the real choice is where each job goes next. Find the description that sounds like you.
Move to SpringBrand if you are…
An ops or sales lead whose Relay.app workflows reviewed leads, summarized calls or prepared weekly reports, and who can describe each one in a sentence.
- A recruiter or HR manager who wants applications screened against the job description every week, with the final call left to people.
- A small team that wants built-in research, SEO and sales data without managing API keys or separate tool bills.
- Anyone who would rather have an agent that improves from feedback than a step list to maintain.
Move to another kind of tool if you are…
Running approval chains that must pause mid-run for a manager to approve, fill in data or pick a path: test a workflow tool with native approval steps.
- Syncing records between apps that must move exactly the same way every time: a deterministic workflow tool fits better.
- Required to self-host the automation or keep it inside your own infrastructure: choose a self-hosted tool.
- Splitting the work: keep approval chains in an approval-step tool and move the research, screening and reporting jobs to SpringBrand.
SWITCHING FROM RELAY.APPMove one job first.
Move one job first.
Then the rest.
Relay.app is gone, so there is no importer and nothing left to export. Find your export zip if you saved one: each workflow folder holds a plain-language build prompt, the run history as CSV and the structure as JSON.
Pick the job that hurts most now that it has stopped. Paste its build prompt, or describe it from memory, as a SpringBrand task. Check the result against what Relay.app used to deliver, then save it as an agent and schedule it.

Relay.app: FAQs
What happened to Relay.app, and how to move your workflows to agents.
No. Relay.app shut down in September 2026. Its homepage says all accounts, workflows and run history have been permanently deleted, and there is nothing left to log in to.
Relay.app announced the closure on July 16, 2026 and turned off new signups the same day. Free accounts closed on August 15, 2026 and paid accounts on September 14, 2026.
It depends on the job. For work you can describe in plain language, such as lead reviews, candidate screening or meeting follow-ups, SpringBrand saves the job as an agent and runs it on a schedule. For approval chains that pause mid-run, test a tool with a native approval step.
No. The export is a set of files for reading and rebuilding, and no tool can load it directly. Each workflow folder includes a plain-language build prompt, which you can paste into SpringBrand as the task description.
No. Relay.app says the data was permanently deleted. If someone on your team downloaded the export before their account closed, that zip file is the only copy.
One job at a time. Paste its build prompt or describe it from memory, reconnect the apps it used, run it once and compare the result with the old run history if you kept it, then save it as an agent and add a schedule. Describing and checking one job is quick; reconnecting accounts and agreeing what a good result looks like take longer.
No code. Describe the job in chat and SpringBrand proposes the agent's setup — instructions, data sources, connected apps and skills — for you to confirm. If you prefer, fill in the same four parts in a form. A saved Relay.app build prompt can go straight into the instructions.
You decide what it can reach. It only uses the accounts and permissions you connect, and you review the result of a task before you save it as an agent or put it on a schedule. Many official agents prepare drafts — emails, replies, posts — for your team to approve rather than sending them. There is no step that pauses a run mid-way for a person to approve, as Relay.app had.
Yes. Agents run in the cloud. Schedule a task by day, by week or at a set time and the result is delivered to you, for example in Slack, Microsoft Teams or Lark.
Yes. Share it with a link so colleagues can run it, or publish it to the marketplace. Team plans add Owner, Admin and Member roles and pooled credits.
SpringBrand is free to start: 300 credits on signup, then 100 credits a month, with no credit card required and 1 agent at a time. Paid plans are Plus $29, Pro $59 and Max $199 per month, or $23, $47 and $159 billed annually; scheduled tasks start on Plus. Top-ups are $5 per 1,000 credits.
When a workflow must pause mid-run for a person to approve or add data, when records must sync between apps exactly the same way every time, or when you need to self-host. Choose a workflow tool built for those jobs and move the rest to SpringBrand.
