Lindy alternatives, compared

Lindy is an AI assistant for Slack and your inbox that charges per person, with credits. If you want one price for the whole workspace, Glad has no seats. Viktor writes code, Junior and Runbear work in Teams, and Slackbot is already in your Slack plan.

Last updated 8 October 2026. We make Glad, so it is first. Every fact comes from each vendor's own site, sources below.

Why teams look for a Lindy alternative

  • Seats add up. Lindy's pricing page says anyone who signs up, joins or @mentions Lindy in Slack takes a seat, from $29.99 a person a month.

  • Credits are hard to plan. An everyday ask uses 2 to 250 credits and deep work 250 to 1,000. Unused credits do not roll over.

  • The work happens in Slack. Many teams want reports, CRM updates and follow-ups asked for in a thread, not a personal inbox assistant.

When to stay with Lindy

  • Inbox management with drafted replies is the main job.

  • You want to reach it outside Slack, such as in iMessage.

  • You need scheduled routines, browser use or a HIPAA BAA today.

How we picked these tools

Each tool does work for a team, not only chat, and works with Slack in some way. We took every price and feature from the vendor's own site on 8 October 2026, and we did not use review sites. We make Glad, so we put it first; read the limits we list for it too.
