The verdict

Workato wins, 8.0 to 6.4

Workato gives you branching and conditional logic in its recipes; Tray.ai has no branching feature in its workflow builder. Workato also reaches a stated 14,000 app connectors against Tray.ai's 700, and covers three more hosting regions, UK, Japan and Australia, beyond the US and EU that both platforms share. Tray.ai names Notion as a knowledge source for its agents, alongside databases and files; Workato names only databases and files.

Pick Tray.ai if you need agents that can read your notion docs.

Pick Workato if you need branching logic and hosting across more regions.
