Carly and Yuki both read email and both call themselves assistants, but they are built for different halves of a life. Carly is a work delegate: you email it, CC it or text it, and an AI agent with its own inbox gets on with the scheduling, the outreach and the follow-ups. Yuki is a life-admin app: it connects to your personal Gmail and turns what is already there into a calendar, trip itineraries, tracked bills, subscriptions and expenses, shared with the people you live with when you choose.
Side by side
A “—” means not applicable or not something we can confirm from Carly's site, not that Carly lacks it.

Where is Carly ahead of Yuki?
- Delegation. You CC Carly on a thread or email it a task, and an agent with its own address handles it. Yuki takes requests only in its own app and on the web.
- Microsoft. Carly lists unlimited Google and Microsoft email and calendars. Yuki is Gmail and Google Calendar only.
- Work tools. Carly has an AI-native CRM, outreach to contact groups, follow-ups with leads and thousands of app integrations. Yuki has no CRM and connects only to Google.
- Scheduling with other people. Carly's pricing page says it handles messy multi-person scheduling threads. Yuki has booking links and polls, but it does not negotiate a meeting time over email for you.
- Teams. Carly's Organization plan shares agents and skills across a team with admin controls. Yuki is personal, with shared groups for households rather than companies.
- More channels and languages: SMS, Slack and a dashboard, and 80+ languages against Yuki's 23.
Where is Yuki ahead of Carly?
- It works without being asked each time. With Pro, Yuki goes through your Gmail and turns flight, hotel and train confirmations into trips, bills and renewals into tracked subscriptions, and invites into calendar events.
- Personal money: expenses from receipts, subscriptions with a heads-up before renewal, and costs split with other people and settled up.
- Households. Groups for a partner, family, flatmates or a trip, with a shared calendar, tasks, grocery lists and expenses. Each person keeps a private account, and nothing is shared just because someone is in a group.
- You approve first. Yuki asks before it sends an email or acts for you.
- Price. Yuki has a free plan with no card, and Pro is a month with a 14-day trial and no credits to top up.
- Native iOS and Android apps as well as the web, EU data storage for EU customers, and an independent CASA Tier 2 assessment from March 2026.
Does Yuki have an agent that acts for me?
Not on sale yet. Bookings, watches, browser automation, check-in and live bank connections are Yuki Agent capabilities, and Agent is coming soon for new customers. Today Yuki organises what is in your inbox, drafts what you ask for and waits for your approval before anything is sent.
Choose Carly if…
- You want to hand off work by CC-ing an assistant on email threads
- Your mail and calendar are on Microsoft 365 or Outlook
- You need meeting scheduling with clients, outreach, follow-ups or a CRM, or you are buying for a team
Choose Yuki if…
- Your personal Gmail is full of bookings, bills, renewals and invites that should become a calendar, trips and expenses
- You share a household or trips with other people and want one place for plans, lists and who owes what
- You want a free plan or a low monthly price, and an assistant that asks before it acts
Plenty of people could use both: Carly for the work threads they delegate, Yuki for the life admin underneath.
Frequently asked questions
What is Carly?
Carly calls itself an "AI Personal Assistant". On usecarly.com you email Carly to create AI agents that handle scheduling, email, CRM and more, or you just CC Carly on a thread. Each agent can have its own name, email address, integrations and files, and you can also reach it by SMS, Slack or a web dashboard. It is built for delegating work: outreach, follow-ups with leads, booking meetings and keeping a CRM up to date.
How much does Carly cost compared to Yuki?
On usecarly.com/pricing on 7 November 2026, Carly had a Free plan at $0 a month (MCP access from Claude, ChatGPT or other MCP clients, 10 workflows, a multi-calendar view and a task manager), Personal at $35 a month with 200 credits a month, Organization at $35 per seat per month with a pooled credit allowance, and a custom Enterprise plan. AI work is paid in prepaid credits, and Carly says it never charges automatically when they run out. Yuki is free with no card, Pro is a month, and Pro starts with a 14-day trial that needs no card.
Does Yuki work with Outlook or Microsoft 365 like Carly?
No. Yuki connects to Gmail only, and syncs with Google Calendar. Carly's Personal plan lists unlimited Google and Microsoft email and calendars. If your mail is on Microsoft 365 or Outlook, Carly works with it and Yuki does not.
Can I CC Yuki on an email like Carly?
No. Yuki does not take instructions by email, SMS or Slack. You ask Yuki in its app or on the web, and it reads the Gmail account you connect. That is the main difference in how the two work: Carly waits for you to delegate a thread, while Yuki goes through the bookings, bills and invites already in your inbox without being asked each time.
Does Yuki send emails or act without asking?
No. Yuki asks for your approval before it sends an email or takes an action for you, and reading a message needs the Gmail permission you gave. Carly is built to act on what you delegate: its pricing page lists outreach, follow-ups and scheduling done by the agent.
Where is Carly better than Yuki?
For work. Carly handles meeting scheduling across busy multi-person threads, outreach to contacts, follow-ups with leads and an AI-native CRM, and it connects to thousands of apps, including Slack, Salesforce and HubSpot. It also supports Microsoft accounts and lets a team share agents. Yuki has none of that: it is a personal life-admin app.
