Quick verdict
Bottom line: Lindy is an AI teammate that lives in Slack and does actual work across your email, calendar, meetings and CRM — drafting follow-ups, joining calls, taking notes and updating records. It is genuinely useful for founders and small ops teams, but it runs on a credit meter, and what a task costs is hard to predict before it runs. There is no free plan anymore, only a short trial.
What is Lindy?
Most AI assistants wait for you to ask a question. Lindy is built to be delegated to. You @mention it in Slack or DM it, describe the job in plain English — “prep me for tomorrow’s calls” — and it works across the tools you have connected: Gmail, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion and, the company says, more than 1,000 integrations, plus any MCP server.
It ships with more than 40 built-in skills: morning briefs from your inbox and calendar, meeting recording and notes, lead logging and enrichment, recurring reports. Routines one person sets up can be reused by the whole team, and what Lindy learns is stored in plain-text memory files you can read and edit. For actions with outside impact, it asks for approval before anything irreversible happens.
What can Lindy actually do?
The everyday pattern is executive-assistant work. Lindy joins Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls as a named participant, records and transcribes them, and files shareable notes. From a transcript it can update CRM fields and draft the follow-up email in your voice. You can also text it over iMessage for scheduling and quick lookups, and on Pro and Max, Computer Use lets it work in a browser when a tool has no integration.
Lindy pricing
| Plan | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Plus | $29.99 per user/month | 3,000 credits/month |
| Pro | $99.99 per user/month | 15,000 credits/month |
| Max | $199.99 per user/month | 35,000 credits/month |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom, with SSO, audit logs and HIPAA compliance |
Credits pool across the workspace and do not roll over. Extra credits cost $10 per 1,000, and anyone who uses Lindy — including a teammate who @mentions it in Slack — takes a billed seat. New users start with a trial ($50 in credits lasting 7 days, no card required). Lindy’s own guidance puts everyday tasks at roughly 2 to 250 credits, deeper work at 250 to 1,000, and big builds at 1,000 to 2,500 — on Plus’s 3,000 credits, that range covers anything from a busy month to a few heavy days.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Lives where the team already works — Slack first, plus iMessage and a Chrome extension — so there is no new app to adopt
- Does multi-step work across email, calendar, meetings and CRM instead of just answering questions
- Approval step before irreversible actions, and memory stored as editable plain-text files
- 1,000+ integrations and 40+ built-in skills, with routines the whole team can reuse
- SOC 2 Type II; Enterprise tier adds HIPAA compliance, SSO and audit logs
Cons
- Credit costs per task vary widely and are hard to forecast — the most common complaint in user reviews is billing surprise
- No permanent free plan; the trial is short and credits expire in 7 days
- Unused plan credits do not roll over, and work pauses when the pool runs dry until you top up or the cycle resets
- Per-seat pricing catches everyone: a casual @mention in Slack can start a billed seat
- Phone features and numbers cost extra on top of the plan
Who is Lindy for?
Founders and small operations or sales teams drowning in coordination work — scheduling, follow-ups, meeting notes, CRM hygiene — who will delegate daily and supervise the output. If you only need one fixed automation, a traditional workflow tool will be cheaper and more predictable; Lindy is built for work that needs a bit of judgment.
Verdict: is Lindy worth it?
For the right team, yes — with a supervisor’s mindset and an eye on the credit pool. Lindy at its best feels like a junior chief of staff for $29.99 a seat. Lindy at its worst is a meter you cannot read in advance. Start on Plus, watch credit burn for two weeks on real work, and only scale seats once you know what your tasks actually cost.
