Lindy

What it is

Lindy (lindy.ai) is a no-code platform for building AI agents that automate email, scheduling, and business workflows across integrated apps, aimed at operators and small business teams. Per lindy.ai and 2026 third-party reviews (nocode.mba), Lindy has expanded into a personal AI assistant experience: it can run your inbox, meetings, calendar, and follow-ups, and you can chat with it 24/7 via iMessage or SMS after connecting your phone number. The visual no-code builder - App Builder, templates, triggers, and 100+ integrations - remains available, so the product spans two use cases: a workflow/agent builder and a texting personal assistant.

How it works

You build agents or workflows through a visual, no-code interface using triggers and actions, drawing on a large template library and integrations with tools like Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, and Notion (100+ integrations total, per lindy.ai). On paid plans, assistant features include email drafting (drafts are queued for your review and do not send without approval, by design), meeting scheduling, meeting note-taking, and meeting prep/follow-up, plus the 24/7 iMessage/SMS chat. Higher tiers add more usage, more connected inboxes, computer use (the agent operating a computer or browser), and model selection (choosing which underlying model runs your agent). Lindy states you control your data, encryption is standard, human approvals are built into workflows, and your data is not sold or used to train models - claims we attribute to the vendor and have not independently verified.

Pricing

Per the live pricing page (https://www.lindy.ai/pricing, checked 2026-07-23):

• Plus - $49.99/month: standard usage, up to 2 inboxes, iMessage/SMS chat, email drafting, meeting scheduling, note-taking, prep and follow-up, 100+ integrations.
• Pro - $99.99/month: everything in Plus, roughly 3x more usage than Plus, up to 3 inboxes, computer use, model selection.
• Max - $199.99/month: everything in Pro, roughly 7x more usage than Plus, up to 5 inboxes.
• Enterprise - contact sales: shared usage plus bonus credits, dedicated support, onboarding/enablement, HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, SSO and SCIM, custom company context, and audit logs.

Lindy offers a 7-day free trial with full Plus features - this is not a permanent free tier. Multiple 2026 third-party reviews (cloudtalk.io, toolchase) confirm there is no forever-free plan and that an earlier free/credits tier was discontinued; any catalog listing that marks Lindy as having a permanent free tier is now inaccurate against the live pricing page. The pricing page also includes a satirical $8,000/month Human assistant comparison for framing purposes only - this is not an actual Lindy plan.

Real limitations

Based on 2026 third-party reviews (cloudtalk, toolchase, get-alfred, wearefounders):

• There is no permanent free tier; ongoing use requires a paid subscription starting at $49.99/month after the 7-day trial.
• Plans are gated by usage/credits and number of connected inboxes, so heavy automation can hit ceilings and push users toward higher tiers.
• Building robust multi-step agents still involves setup and testing; agents can make mistakes, which is why human review and approval steps (e.g., email drafts requiring approval) matter in practice.
• The product straddles two positionings - personal texting assistant and workflow builder - so buyers should confirm the specific capability they need (e.g., computer use and model selection are Pro and above) is actually included on their chosen tier.
• Best value concentrates around operator and SMB workflows; very large or highly regulated organizations are generally steered toward the Enterprise tier rather than self-serve plans.

Who it's for

Lindy fits operators, founders, and small business teams who want to automate inbox management, scheduling, and repetitive multi-app workflows without writing code, as well as individuals who want a 24/7 assistant reachable by text for drafts, scheduling, and follow-ups. Teams should be comfortable with usage-based subscription pricing. People wanting a permanent free tool, those needing only a single trivial automation, and large enterprises requiring heavy governance may be better served by Lindy's Enterprise tier or by other tools entirely.
