What does a month cost for a team of 10?
Take 10 people who each ask for 2 quick jobs a workday, such as "summarize this thread into a Notion page" or "update the deal in HubSpot". That is about 420 jobs in a month of 21 workdays, or 42 for each person.
420 tasks fit in the Team plan, $99 a month for 600 tasks. No seats, and the price is the same every month.
10 people take 10 seats. On Plus that is 10 x $29.99 = $299.90. Its pricing page puts an everyday ask at 2 to 250 credits, so 42 asks use 84 to 10,500 credits a person. Plus has 3,000; above that it is Pro, 10 x $99.99 = $999.90.
This example is about quick jobs. A larger Glad run with /deep counts as 5 tasks, and Glad asks before it starts one. Lindy puts deep work at 250 to 1,000 credits. For one person who mostly wants inbox help, Lindy Plus can cost less than a Glad plan. See Glad pricing for every plan.
