Quick answer: what Lindy costs in 2026
Lindy costs $29.99 per user a month on Plus with 3,000 credits. Pro is $99.99 with 15,000 credits, and Max is $199.99 with 35,000 credits, each per user per month. Enterprise is quoted by sales. Credits pool across the workspace, top-ups cost $10 per 1,000 credits, and teammates who join through Slack get a 7-day free trial.
Every number in this article was read off Lindy's own pricing page and its product documentation on September 10, 2026. Nothing here comes from resale listings, review aggregators or third-party estimates. Where the vendor publishes a rule but not the figure behind it, that gap is called out rather than filled in. Prices on a young product move, so treat the date as part of the number.
Lindy pricing plans at a glance
Three self-serve tiers, one sales tier. Credit volume separates them, not feature access. So the buying question is how much work you expect to push through the workspace each month, rather than which capabilities come with which price.
| Plan | Price per user | Credits per user | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plus | $29.99 a month | 3,000 a month | Entry per-seat tier |
| Pro | $99.99 a month | 15,000 a month | 5x the Plus credits |
| Max | $199.99 a month | 35,000 a month | About 12x Plus credits |
| Enterprise | Contact sales | Max plus bonus credits | HIPAA BAA, SSO, SCIM |
All three published prices are per user per month. Pro carries five times the Plus allocation, Max about twelve times. Hold that ratio against your own expected workload, not the headline price.
What a Lindy credit actually buys
A credit is Lindy's unit of work. The price list only means something once you know what a unit costs. Everyday asks, meaning answers, lookups and drafting a reply, run from 2 to 250 credits. Deep work such as researching a competitor or triaging a day's support queue takes 250 to 1,000. Big builds like a complex dashboard or an internal tool take 1,000 to 2,500.
"What's a credit? Credits measure the work Lindy does. You only use them when Lindy is working. Everyday Asks 2-250 Credits Answers, summaries, lookups and updates in your tools, closing out a meeting, drafting a reply. Deep work 250-1,000 Credits Research a competitor and write the report, triage a day's support queue, turn a week of calls into a proposal, build basic html artifacts. Big Builds 1,000-2,500 Credits Complex html dashboards, multi-media decks built from your CRM and analytics, internal tools shipped end to end, heavy scheduled workflows."

Hold those ranges against the allocations. One big build at the top of its range consumes most of a single Plus seat's 3,000 monthly credits. The same build is a small slice of a Max seat's 35,000. Model choice moves the figure too. Lindy lets users pick the model for each task and gives every plan every model, trial seats included. It also picks a model automatically when the goal is to make credits go further.
According to Lindy's pricing page, credits are pooled across the workspace. Every seat adds its allocation to one shared pool, and admins can set credit allocations per seat. Lindy's documentation goes further: admins can set spend caps per teammate. When someone hits their cap, Lindy pauses that person's credit-using actions and keeps working for everyone else. If the pool runs low, Lindy pauses credit-using actions instead of charging a surprise bill.
Plan credits refresh at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over. Purchased top-ups are the exception. Admins buy shared credits at $10 per 1,000, sold in 1,000-credit blocks, a one-time purchase that does not touch the base plan's credits and does not expire. Read that $10 as the price of buying more credits, not as a penalty rate applied automatically.
Usage beyond the pool has its own rule. Lindy's documentation says that if admins enable Overages in Settings, Lindy keeps working past the pool's limit and overage usage is charged at 2x the plan's standard credit rate.
One behavior matters before you set expectations with a team: when a single task starts drawing far more credits than usual, Lindy pauses and checks in before continuing. Paused tasks are not restarted automatically after the pool resets, though nothing is deleted.
What every plan includes
Lindy's documentation states that every plan covers every feature and that nothing is gated by plan. That changes how you compare tiers. You buy credits and seats, not capabilities, and a cheaper plan does not remove a function you need.
As listed on Lindy's pricing page in September 2026, every plan carries:
- A Slack-native teammate that works in threads and mentions, plus scheduled routines and persistent workspace context.
- More than 40 skills plus custom ones, meeting recording and notes, meeting scheduling and daily briefs.
- Inbox management with drafts in your voice and, in that page's wording, connect up to 5 inboxes, plus iMessage access.
- Team files with version history, computer use, model selection and built-in approvals.
- Support for any MCP server, alongside over 1,000 integrations by Lindy's own count.
Two items on that list deserve a caveat. The inbox number is the pricing page's wording, and a vendor's pages do not always agree with each other. Check the live page if five connected inboxes is a make-or-break limit for your team. The integrations figure is Lindy's own count rather than an audited one. Read it as a sign that the catalog is broad, and that MCP support covers tools the catalog misses.
Enterprise: what the top tier adds
Enterprise is sold through sales and carries no published price. Any budget for it starts with a quote. What the tier adds is written down: everything in Max, plus HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, shared usage with bonus credits, dedicated support, audit logs and onboarding. Per Lindy's docs, the tier also adds SSO and SCIM on top of the SOC 2 and GDPR compliance that the base plans already carry.
On governance, Lindy's enterprise page says teams can pick Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini and other frontier models per job and control who has access. Approvals route to an account lead, an admin or the requester's manager.
The compliance claims come from the vendor. According to Lindy's own security page, the company is SOC 2 Type II certified, with the audit performed by Johanson Group. That page also lists HIPAA, GDPR and PIPEDA compliance as independently verified, and data as encrypted in transit and at rest, never sold and never used to train AI models. Those are Lindy's self-reported statements, so if procurement depends on them, ask for the report and the signed BAA in writing during the sales conversation.
Free trial and billing rules
The free week has a condition attached to it. New teammates who join through Slack get their first week free, while direct signups are billed right away. The free week is one-time per teammate. For a team that wants to try Lindy without a charge on day one, the Slack path is the one that grants it. Trial seats get every model, the same as paid seats.
"Lindy Teammate is priced per person. Each teammate gets a seat ... A seat stays billed until an admin removes it. You keep it through the end of the current cycle, with no mid-cycle proration. ... Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current term. ... Lindy accepts all major credit and debit cards through Stripe."

Billing is per person. Each teammate takes a seat, and that seat stays billed until an admin removes it. It stays active through the end of the current cycle, with no mid-cycle proration. So seat hygiene becomes a real line item, because a forgotten seat is a full month.
Upgrades take effect immediately, downgrades at the end of the term. Schedule a downgrade before the renewal date, not after the month that prompted it. Payment is by major credit and debit cards through Stripe.
One inconsistency deserves a flag. The plan prices appear as $30, $100 and $200 a month per user as rounded in Lindy's docs, while the pricing page lists $29.99, $99.99 and $199.99. Quote the pricing page figures as the actual prices. Nothing on the pages checked shows an annual billing discount, so budget at the monthly rate unless sales offers something else.
How Lindy's pricing compares with automation platforms
Buyers want Lindy set against Zapier, Make, Activepieces and Latenode. But these products do not price the same object. Lindy prices people: you pay per seat, and the seats fund one shared credit pool. The others price volume. You pay for how much work runs, whoever set it off.
Zapier counts tasks, and the counting rule matters as much as the sticker price. Only completed action steps count toward a Zap's task usage, and polling trigger checks do not consume tasks. Its Free plan includes 100 tasks a month with Zap workflows, Tables and Forms. Professional costs $19.99 a month billed annually for 750 tasks.
Make counts credits. In Make's own wording on its pricing page in September 2026, a credit is consumed by each module action in a scenario. Adding a Google Sheet row counts, and so does fetching Gmail data. Its Free plan includes up to 1,000 credits a month, and with yearly billing selected, Core is $9 a month for 10,000 credits.
Activepieces counts runs instead: in Activepieces' own words, one credit covers a whole run regardless of how many steps it contains. It is free for one user with 100 credits a day. Plus costs $16 a month billed annually with 10,000 credits for up to 5 users.
Latenode bills runtime. It charges for workflow runtime measured in CPU seconds rather than per operation or per step, so adding steps does not multiply the bill. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free every month on both of its plans. Past that, usage is $0.00012 per CPU second in the 10,001 to 100,000 bracket.
So the honest framing is a question about your unit of work. Where the work belongs to named people who ask for it in Slack, seats are a sensible meter. Where the work is background volume, seat pricing charges you for headcount you may not have, and volume pricing charges you for the volume you do have.
Who Lindy's pricing suits and who should look elsewhere
Lindy's model fits teams whose requests come from individual people. Per Lindy's homepage as of September 2026, it positions itself as an AI teammate that works in Slack, schedules events, drafts emails, summarizes meetings and books appointments. That page starts plans at $29.99 per user a month and 3,000 credits. If that matches the work, a seat per person is a clean unit, and meeting-heavy roles get recording, notes, scheduling and daily briefs inside the same price.
It fits less well when the work has nobody attached to it. A team running thousands of background runs a month is buying volume, and per-seat credits are the wrong unit for that. The two ways to add capacity are more seats or more top-ups at $10 per 1,000 credits, and neither tracks the shape of that workload. The same caution applies if several people would each need big builds of 1,000 to 2,500 credits regularly.
Decide with arithmetic, not opinion. Count the people who would use it daily and estimate their monthly asks against the credit ranges. Set that against 3,000, 15,000 and 35,000 credits per seat before picking a tier.
