The Stack / Automation
Lindy
04 AutomationYes for operators ready to staff recurring work with AI — Lindy is one teammate that lives in Slack, takes jobs from anyone on the team, and keeps company context from the channels and meetings around it. Try it on $50 of free credits, then every active user is billed from $49.99/mo for 5,000 pooled credits; you buy more credits, not more features. It joins calls as a visible participant, so it is not the pick where a bot guest would chill the room.
The job in the stack
The AI-employee seat: one Slack-native teammate the whole team hands recurring work to — inbox triage, meeting notes, CRM updates, follow-up — building company context as it goes, across 1,000+ integrations.

Models & versions
- Lindy Teammate Launched August 10, 2026, replacing the multi-agent 'Lindies' model. Slack-native (also iMessage, Gmail, browser); joins Meet, Zoom, and Teams calls as a visible participant and records them; scheduled routines, persistent workspace context, 40+ skills, MCP support
The honest read
What works
- + Delegation framing — the team hands a teammate a job instead of wiring steps
- + Deep integration catalog puts agents inside your real workflows
- + Lives in Slack, so anyone on the team can assign work without learning a builder
What breaks
- − The free start is $50 of credits that expire in 7 days; after that every active user is a paid seat from $49.99/mo
- − Credit costs vary by task complexity — high-volume roles need cost modeling; phone numbers and calls meter extra
- − Monthly billing only — no annual option is listed
- − Outbound-facing agents (email, outreach) need tight approval leashes
- − Joins meetings as a visible participant — use a botless note-taker where a guest would change the room
Use it for
- →Founders staffing their first AI roles: triage, scheduling, follow-up
- →Sales ops automating outreach with human-approval gates
- →Replacing a virtual-assistant line item with a supervised agent
Skip it if
- ×You want one-off task execution — Manus is shaped for that
- ×Your workflows are deterministic — n8n runs them cheaper and predictably
Questions operators ask
?What's the difference between Lindy and n8n agents?
n8n gives you the workshop — you build and own the automation logic. Lindy gives you the employee — a role-shaped agent with the plumbing pre-built. Builders save money with n8n; operators save time with Lindy.
What changed
- Real drift on lindy.ai/pricing (read in a rendered browser): the Plus $29.99 / Pro $99.99 / Max $199.99 ladder is gone. The page now sells Free ($50 in credits, 7 days, no card), one Team plan at $49.99/mo per active user for 5,000 pooled credits with larger per-seat credit tiers ($99.99 for 15,000, $199.99 for 35,000, up to $9,999.50 for 1.75M) and $10-per-1,000 top-ups, and Enterprise (custom). Rewrote pricing, verdict and cons. The page's feature list still says 'Computer use on Pro and Max', tiers it no longer sells, so we dropped our 'computer use on every tier' claim rather than guess.
- Pricing re-verified on lindy.ai/pricing: Plus $29.99 / Pro $99.99 / Max $199.99 / Enterprise custom unchanged, same 3,000/15,000/35,000 credit ladder. Product drift we hadn't caught: the August 10 relaunch replaced the multi-agent 'Lindies' model with a single Slack-native 'Lindy Teammate' that takes work from anyone on the team, keeps company context, and joins Meet/Zoom/Teams calls as a visible participant. Rewrote role, verdict, and model entry. Removed our 'no card required' trial note — the pricing page now says only '7-day free trial', and third-party sources disagree on whether direct signups are billed up front.
- Real pricing change from the August relaunch: Plus dropped from $49.99 to $29.99/mo (3,000 credits/user/mo). Computer use, model selection, and up to 5 inboxes are no longer Pro/Max-exclusive — every paid tier now ships the same feature set, and the ladder is purely credit volume (Pro 15,000 = 5x Plus, Max 35,000 = ~12x Plus). Still monthly-only billing, still no free tier beyond the 7-day trial.
- No pricing change: Plus $49.99 / Pro $99.99 / Max $199.99 / Enterprise custom all hold, still monthly-only, still no free tier beyond the 7-day trial. Added tier detail the pricing page now spells out — Pro unlocks computer use and model selection, Enterprise carries HIPAA with a signed BAA, SSO/SCIM, and audit logs.
- Released from staging. Real drift on lindy.ai/pricing: the free build-and-test tier is gone (replaced by a 7-day trial) and the ladder is now Plus $49.99 / Pro $99.99 / Max $199.99, monthly billing only, usage-based rather than a flat 5,000-credit quota.
- Added to the stack (AI-employee seat). Verified: Pro $49.99/mo with 5,000 credits; free build-and-test tier.
