Lindy AI Pricing Plans at a Glance
Lindy operates a credit-based model where everything it does draws from your monthly credit pool. Unlike tools with flat feature access, your effective cost depends on how much work you send it and how big each job is.
No Free Plan: Just a 7-Day Trial
Lindy no longer offers a permanent free plan. Instead you get $50 in free credits that last 7 days, no credit card required, enough to try it on real work and see how the credit system behaves before you commit.
A small job, like answering a question or updating a record, sits at the low end of Lindy’s 2 to 250 credit range. Run it 20 times a week and the credits add up.
Bigger jobs cost more: Lindy lists deep work at 250 to 1,000 credits and big builds at 1,000 to 2,500. Because Lindy bills on usage, one heavy routine on a frequent schedule can drain an allowance fast.
Use the trial to see what Lindy does with your own workflows. Treat it as a one-week evaluation period rather than a permanent working tool, and expect to be on a paid plan if you want anything running continuously.
Paid Plans: Plus, Pro, and Max
Lindy’s paid tiers start with Plus at $29.99 per user per month, which includes 3,000 credits per user. Pro at $99.99 includes 15,000 credits (5x Plus) and adds computer use. Max at $199.99 includes 35,000 credits (about 12x Plus). Plans connect 2 to 5 inboxes depending on tier. Enterprise is custom-priced and adds HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, audit logs and dedicated support.
Lindy publishes what work costs in credits: everyday asks are 2 to 250 credits, deep work 250 to 1,000, and big builds 1,000 to 2,500. On Plus, 3,000 credits covers somewhere between 12 and 1,500 everyday asks a month, depending on which end of that range your work sits.
At $29.99 per user per month, Lindy’s entry price is the same as alfred_’s. What you get for it depends on how many credits your work uses.
The honest caveat: whatever allowance your tier includes sounds like a lot until you run a credit-intensive workflow at scale. Having Lindy process every incoming email (summarizing, categorizing, and routing) consumes credits on every message. If you receive 50 emails per day, heavy per-email handling can drain a month’s allowance in a week or two. Reviewers consistently flag credits “burning through faster than advertised”.
Credit management therefore becomes part of the job: knowing which routines are worth their credits and how often each one needs to run.
Hidden Costs
- Credit burn is unpredictable until you’ve run workflows at real volume. You can’t know your actual monthly credit consumption until you’ve had your workflows running in production for a full month. This makes budgeting difficult, particularly for reactive workflows that run based on triggers rather than schedules.
- Hitting the credit ceiling halts your automations. When you exhaust your monthly credits, Lindy pauses until the next cycle. For automations you rely on to handle critical workflows, email triage, task management, client communications, an unexpected credit ceiling can mean missed work and dropped balls.
Is Lindy AI Worth the Price?
Lindy, starting at $29.99 per user per month, is for teams that work in Slack and want one assistant the whole team can ask. Whether the price holds depends on how many credits that work uses.
For one person who wants their own email, tasks and scheduling handled, a metered team teammate is more than the job needs. See our best Lindy alternatives for narrower options.
The question is whether you need a teammate for the whole team or an assistant for your own inbox.
The Better-Value Alternative: alfred_
alfred_ is built for one person’s work, and only routines and workflows use credits. It flags the emails that need your answer, tracks the replies you owe and the replies you’re waiting on, manages your calendar and sends a morning brief, from the day you connect.
Where Lindy meters everything it does, alfred_ keeps the inbox side outside the meter. For multi-step work you describe a routine or workflow in a sentence and alfred_ runs it, and flagging what needs your answer starts within minutes of connecting your accounts.
For professionals who looked at Lindy and want something built around their own inbox and calendar, alfred_ is the best choice.
