Pally alternative: Ezail, the AI assistant your whole team can Cc

Last checked November 13, 2026. Both products change often, so check each site before you buy.

Pally says "Your own personal assistant. Just text Pally." It "remembers, books, chases and calls," and it's free. You text it on iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram or Slack, and it handles your email, calendar, calls and the people in your life. Ezail is an AI colleague you message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack or Microsoft Teams, or Cc on email. It also gives your team one shared assistant with its own email address. As a free personal assistant, Pally is hard to beat. For a team that wants one shared assistant, Microsoft Teams or a security-certified vendor, look at Ezail.

Pally at a glance

Pally's texting assistant launched in mid-2026, growing out of the company's earlier relationship-management app.

• Where you use it: iMessage and RCS on iPhone, Mac and Android, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and Siri and iPhone shortcuts. Pally has its own phone number and email address, and there's no app to install.
• What it does: triages email and drafts replies for Gmail, Outlook and iCloud, tracks follow-ups, and sends morning briefs and meeting prep. It keeps a personal CRM of the people you know and the promises you've made. It runs automations you describe in plain text, and calls businesses for you, waiting on hold and booking, moving or cancelling appointments. It also pays at checkouts after you approve the total, and files expenses from receipts in your email.
• Connections: Slack, LinkedIn, X, Google Drive, Notion, Linear, GitHub, Jira, Asana, Todoist, Airtable, Stripe, Zoom, Granola and any MCP server or API.
• Sharing: "Trusted Pals" let you share chosen information with other people's Pallys, and Pally works in group chats. There's no shared team inbox or team billing.
• Privacy: Pally checks with you before sending, booking or buying anything you haven't asked for. Its privacy policy says it uses your data to train and evaluate its AI models unless you opt out.
• Price: free for everyone, with a weekly limit that refills. Pally plans to earn a fee from merchants on purchases. A cloud Mac add-on is listed at $95 a month, and a VIP plan is offered by invitation.

Ezail at a glance

• Where you use it: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email and the web, connected to Gmail or Outlook and Google or Microsoft Calendar. There's no app to install.
• Your own assistant: answers and drafts email (you approve every draft before it's sent), runs your calendar, makes phone calls, sets reminders and recurring tasks, reads voice notes, photos and files, and keeps projects up to date.
• Your team's assistant: one shared assistant per team with its own address, like ai+yourteam@ezail.com, or a company mailbox you connect. Cc it on a thread and it does the work in the team's tools (Notion, Linear or any MCP server), then replies to everyone on the team. It has its own memory, files and connectors, and never sees a member's personal inbox.
• Security: CASA Tier 2 certified through the App Defense Alliance. Ezail doesn't use your Gmail or Calendar data to train AI models.
• Price: from $9 a month. The Team plan is $499 a month with unlimited members. Every plan starts with 7 free days.
