Lindy.ai Review (2026)Every @mention Takes a Paid Seat

Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 8 Nov 2026

Team starts at $29.99/mo per user for 3,000 credits on some fetches of lindy.ai/pricing and at $49.99/mo per user for 5,000 credits on others: the page serves two versions of the entry level, and 7 of 10 pricing-page fetches on 8 November showed $49.99. The plan line-up changed since 2 October: Plus, Pro and Max are gone. There is now a Free start with $50 in credits for 7 days and no credit card required, one Team plan where you pick a monthly credit level, and quote-only Enterprise.

Higher Team levels read the same in both versions: 6,000 credits $59.99, 8,000 $79.99, 15,000 $99.99, 20,000 $149.99, 35,000 $199.99, 45,000 $299.99, and team levels of 70,000 ($399.98), 105,000 ($599.97), 175,000 ($999.95), 350,000 ($1,999.90), 700,000 ($3,999.80) and 1,750,000 credits ($9,999.50). The page says every active user in the workspace is billed, from the entry amount for the entry credits each. Credits pool across the team; monthly credits refresh each billing cycle and do not roll over.

Top-ups are now sold at $10 per 1,000 credits, and top-up credits stay until used. Anyone who uses Lindy takes a seat, including colleagues who only @mention it in Slack; those who join through Slack get a 7-day free trial first, direct signups are billed straight away. Plans change, so check the live price on their site before you buy.

Category context: Operations & Workflow. Across the 53 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is $25 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat). Lindy.ai’s entry price of $29.99 a month sits above that median. Compare pricing conditions in the Software Cost Atlas →

What the price did

We read Lindy.ai’s own pricing page on a schedule and keep every reading, so this is our record of the page. It is not a forecast, and not someone else’s summary. A change appears here only after we confirmed the new price on the page itself.

What the pricing page doesn’t say

The catch

Credits are sized in ranges (an everyday ask is 2-250, a big build 1,000-2,500), so a month is still an estimate. And the entry price itself was served in two versions on 8 November 2026: $29.99 for 3,000 credits or $49.99 for 5,000.

What buyers report about Lindy.ai

Hands-on: tested 2026-10-31Reported by buyers: G2, Trustpilot, Reddit, Capterra and Product Hunt, read August 2026 (Capterra and Product Hunt read 12 August 2026)

Themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026 (Capterra and Product Hunt read 12 August 2026). We tested Lindy.ai ourselves on 2026-10-31, but one test is a narrow sample, so here is what other buyers report. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.

When the paid plan is worth it

There is no tier ladder any more, only a credit dial on one Team plan, so the questions are how many credits to buy and who takes a seat. Read on lindy.ai/pricing on 8 November 2026, the dial starts at either $29.99 for 3,000 credits or $49.99 for 5,000: the page served both versions that day, and our own sign-up on 31 October asked for $49.99 a month after the trial.

Budget on $49.99 until you see your own checkout. Bigger levels are cheaper per credit, up to a point. The entry levels and the $10-per-1,000 top-up all work out at one cent a credit. 15,000 credits for $99.99 is about 0.67 cents and 35,000 for $199.99 about 0.57 cents. The next step, 45,000 for $299.99, is back at about 0.67 cents, more per credit than the level below it. The team levels from 70,000 credits are exact multiples of the $199.99 level and keep its rate.

Seats are the meter most teams underestimate. Anyone who uses Lindy takes a seat, including a colleague who only @mentions it in Slack. Those who join through Slack get a 7-day trial first; direct signups are billed immediately. A seat you remove stays active to the end of the cycle, with no mid-cycle proration. The page also says every active user is billed from the entry amount; how that combines with a team credit level it does not spell out, so ask before a team rollout.

What upgrading does not fix: monthly credits still expire at the end of each cycle, and the work sizes are still ranges (2-250 credits for an everyday ask, 1,000-2,500 for a big build), so the first month is a measurement rather than a plan. The new top-up does remove the old hard stop: when the pool runs dry Lindy pauses credit-using actions, and an admin can now buy more at $10 per 1,000 instead of waiting for the reset.

What we found running Lindy.ai ourselves

How to actually use Lindy.ai

Decide who can @mention Lindy in Slack before you roll it out, because seats drive the cost as much as usage does. Anyone who uses it takes a seat, including a colleague who only ever mentions it in a channel, and although people who join that way get a seven-day free trial first, direct signups are billed straight away. A seat you remove runs to the end of the cycle with no mid-cycle proration, so an accidental rollout is expensive to reverse.

Use the free start as your measurement. The pricing page says it is $50 in credits for 7 days with no credit card required; our email sign-up on 31 October hit a card screen before the trial anyway. Run a week of real work and read how many credits it took: Lindy sizes an everyday ask at 2 to 250 credits, deep work at 250 to 1,000 and a big build at 1,000 to 2,500, so two big builds can use a whole 5,000-credit entry level on their own.

Then set the dial from that week, not from headcount. Every seat's credits pool into one workspace balance that refreshes each cycle and does not roll over. If you run short, an admin can top up at $10 per 1,000 credits, and top-up credits stay until used; otherwise Lindy pauses credit-using actions until the reset, which matters for anything running in production. If you expect real volume, the 15,000 and 35,000 levels are the cheaper ones per credit, about 0.67 and 0.57 cents against one cent at entry and on top-ups. Skip 45,000 at $299.99, which is back at about 0.67.

The natural comparison is Zapier or Make: trigger-based automation tools with flatter pricing. Weigh it against Zapier on the job you actually need done.

Did Lindy's price change?

Twice in 2026. We capture their pricing page monthly: on 7 July and again on 2 August 2026 the three published prices were $49, $99 and $199. On 12 August 2026 the same page read $29.99, $99.99 and $199.99 per user per month. By 8 November 2026 the three tiers were gone: the page sells one Team plan where you pick a monthly credit level, and the entry level differed between fetches that day, $29.99 for 3,000 credits or $49.99 for 5,000. The 15,000- and 35,000-credit levels kept the old Pro and Max amounts, $99.99 and $199.99. If you were quoted one entry price, check which one your checkout shows.

Who counts as a paid seat?

Anyone who uses Lindy, and the definition is wider than most teams expect. Their own pricing FAQ (read 12 August 2026) says a seat is taken whether someone signs up directly, joins your workspace, or only @mentions Lindy in Slack. Colleagues who arrive that way get a 7-day free trial first; direct signups are billed immediately. Removing a seat does not refund anything: it stays active to the end of the cycle you paid for, with no mid-cycle proration.

What happens when the credits run out?

Lindy pauses credit-using actions until your credits reset at the start of the next cycle, and there is no surprise bill. What changed is the way out: read on lindy.ai/pricing on 8 November 2026, admins can now top up at $10 per 1,000 credits or move to more monthly credits at any time, where until October the page offered no top-up. Monthly credits do not roll over, but top-up credits stay until you use them. Plan allowances are described in ranges (an everyday ask is 2-250 credits, a big build 1,000-2,500), so how far your pool goes is an estimate. Reviewers on Capterra and Product Hunt in August 2026 report burning through more than they planned on complex chains.

If someone leaves the team, can we re-use their free week?

No. Read on lindy.ai/pricing on 12 September and again on 2 October 2026: the free week is one-time per teammate, so anyone who leaves and comes back goes straight onto a billed seat with immediate access. Their FAQ also says Lindy will not re-add anyone an admin removed, and that a removed seat stays active to the end of the cycle with no mid-cycle proration. The one lever in the other direction is new on the same page: admins can set credit allocations per seat, so a shared pool no longer has to be first-come, first-served.

Will Lindy act without my approval?

Not according to its pricing FAQ, read 8 November 2026: anything with outside impact, such as sending an email, updating a ticket, posting to another channel or publishing a doc, waits for approval, while read-only lookups from approved sources do not need it. We could not check this ourselves, because our trial on 31 October stopped at the card screen.

Is this a hands-on review of Lindy.ai?

Yes. We tested Lindy.ai ourselves on 2026-10-31; the section above says what we tested, what we found and what we did not test, and where a figure comes from the vendor's own documentation instead. Most of our reviews are researched rather than run; we say which is which. We name what each tool is good and bad at, and we have no affiliate relationship with Lindy.ai; we earn nothing whether you sign up or not.
