- Automated skill slots are capped by plan

How to choose between Day.ai and Lightfield
Think about who needs the AI. Day.ai bills each agent you deploy to a colleague, so a team where only a few people need agent help keeps its bill small. Everyone else can join free.
Lightfield bills the workspace. If you want recording, sequences and enrichment in one tool, and managers who only watch deals, its Pro and Growth plans fit that shape. You'll commit for a year.
Both suit teams whose deals run on meetings. Choose neither if your sales happen over a handful of emails with no calls. For more AI-native matchups, read Attio vs Lightfield and the AI-native CRM roundup.
Day.ai and Lightfield questions
- What is the difference between Day.ai and Lightfield?
- Both build the CRM from your conversations. Day.ai calls itself a context graph and agent control plane for go-to-market teams, and it prices each AI agent you deploy to a colleague.

- Day.ai charges per agent, not per seat. Each agent you deploy to a colleague is a flat monthly rate on the Turbo, Professional or Executive plan.
