Quick verdict
Lindy is an AI assistant that works in your email, calendar, meetings, Slack and 1,500+ other tools, takes phone calls, and builds reports and simple apps. Its pricing page shows one paid plan, Team, sold per user with a choice of monthly credit amounts, and one person can buy a single seat: $49.99 a month for 5,000 credits, $99.99 for 15,000 or $299.99 for 45,000, with more tiers in between and above. Extra credits cost $10 per 1,000. No annual billing is shown, and Lindy's terms say sales tax is added, so prices are before tax. New accounts get a one-time $50 credit trial that lasts 7 days. Lindy's pages disagree on plan names: the pricing page shows Team, while Lindy's docs say it offers Plus, Pro and Max plans.
Credits decide how far a plan goes: everyday asks use 2 to 250 credits, deep work 250 to 1,000, decks from your CRM and analytics 1,000 to 2,500, and phone calls from 25 credits a minute plus a Lindy number with its own monthly fee. Credits do not roll over. Lindy says your data is never used to train models. Commercial use is not verified: Lindy is sold for business work, but its terms say the services "may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors" unless Lindy endorses or approves them.
This verdict rests on what Lindy documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Works across 1,500+ toolsLindy connects to 1,500+ integrations, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Google Drive and GitHub, plus any MCP server. When a tool has no integration, computer use lets Lindy drive the browser the way a person would.
- Inside Gmail and your meetingsThe Chrome extension runs inside Gmail with triage labels, a morning brief, drafted replies and a sidebar chat. Lindy joins Google Meet, Zoom and Teams calls, records and transcribes them, and writes summaries and follow-ups.
- Model choiceYou pick the model for each task from all major models, with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek shown, or let Lindy choose. The menu includes Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5.
- Memory and SkillsLindy remembers your clients, preferences and how you work, in editable files with version history. Skills are 40+ built-in playbooks plus your own, which team members can share.
- No training on your dataLindy says your data is never used to train models, so no opt-out is needed.
Limits
- Commercial use not verifiedNot verified. Lindy's terms say the services "may not be used in connection with any commercial endeavors except those that are specifically endorsed or approved by us", which sits oddly with how Lindy is sold.
- Credits are hard to predictPlan limit. Everyday asks use 2 to 250 credits and deep work 250 to 1,000, so the same plan can last very different lengths of time. Credits do not roll over, and extra credits cost $10 per 1,000.
- Plan names disagreeConflict. The pricing page shows one paid plan, Team, with a credit menu, while Lindy's docs say it offers Plus, Pro and Max plans. The pricing page also says computer use is on Pro and Max and that you can connect 2 to 5 inboxes, depending on plan.
- Phone calls cost extraPlan limit. Calling Lindy needs a paid plan and a Lindy number with its own monthly fee, which is not published, and calls use from 25 credits a minute.
- No Outlook extension, no native appDocumented as not offered. The Chrome extension is Gmail only, with Outlook listed as coming soon, though Outlook mail can be connected as an integration. No native mobile app is documented.
Based on what Lindy AI documents for each plan, not on our tests.
Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Delegating email triage, replies and morning briefs in Gmail
- Meeting recordings, summaries and follow-ups on Meet, Zoom and Teams
- Research and reports that combine your email, calendar and the web
- Simple internal web apps built by describing them
- Keeping your data out of model training
Look elsewhere if you
- Predictable monthly costs: tasks use 2 to 1,000 credits or more
- Trying it for free over time: the trial lasts 7 days
- Working inside Outlook: the extension is Gmail only for now
- Writing that must link every claim to a source: citations not documented

A use is listed when at least one plan documents every feature a task needs. Answer quality is a separate question: see below.
Using it day to day
Lindy runs in a web app, a Chrome extension inside Gmail, Slack, iMessage and SMS, phone calls and email. No native mobile app is documented. You can drag files or whole folders, up to 100 files at once, into Memory for Lindy to use; file types and size limits are not listed. Lindy searches the web and summarizes what it finds, but no page says answers link to their sources.
Lindy builds web apps you describe, such as a project tracker or request form, and hosts them on a lindy.link address, private by default and public after you approve. Apps can save data and use Lindy sign-in. Lindy also creates images and builds board decks, client reports and briefs. All of this draws on your monthly credits: 5,000, 15,000 or 45,000 on the tiers above, with no rollover.
Privacy, data and ads
Lindy says your data is never used to train models. Memory is stored in editable files with version history. Whether Lindy offers a data export, and whether it shows ads, is not verified. Because Lindy acts in your email, calendar and other tools, review which integrations you connect. Read how we check vendor claims.
Read the vendor's own page: Lindy privacy and data controls. We make no legal or compliance claim.

- If you will use Lindy for client or commercial work, ask Lindy to confirm it in writing, since its terms restrict commercial endeavors without approval.
- Compare assistants and agent tools on our tools page.
