Lindy Pricing at a Glance
Lindy is an AI agent and automation platform. It charges by credits rather than a flat monthly fee, and that one detail changes how you have to think about the bill. Here is the 2026 structure, with Catch included for cost context, since Catch covers an executive’s administrative work end to end on one flat subscription.
| Plan | Monthly price | Billing model | Free option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catch | $99/month, flat | One flat subscription, voice included, no per-call fees | 10-day free trial |
| Lindy Plus | $49.99/month | Credit allowance, metered by usage | 7-day free trial, no free tier |
| Lindy Pro | $99.99/month | Credit allowance, metered by usage | 7-day free trial, no free tier |
| Lindy Max | $199.99/month | Credit allowance, metered by usage | 7-day free trial, no free tier |
| Lindy Enterprise | Custom, quoted by sales | Custom credit allowance, quoted by sales | Sales-led |
Your invoice comes down to three variables: the tier you sit on, how many credits your agents burn getting through the month, and whether those agents need to make phone calls, which is billed separately from everything in the table above.
What Each Lindy Plan Includes
Plus, $49.99/month
Plus is the entry point, and it is the tier the free trial gives you full access to. You get the base credit allowance and support for up to two connected inboxes, enough to build a handful of agents and run them against your own email.
For one person automating a few well-defined processes, Plus is a fine place to start. The ceiling shows up when agents begin working every day instead of firing off now and then.
Pro, $99.99/month
Pro roughly triples the Plus credit allowance, raises the inbox limit to three, and adds computer use and custom model selection.
Most people land here once they move past experimenting. It is also the tier worth holding up against a flat-priced assistant, because $99.99 a month is slightly more than Catch’s flat $99 and you are still on a meter.
Max, $199.99/month
Max runs $199.99 a month, with roughly seven times the Plus credit allowance and up to five inboxes. Feature-wise it matches Pro. What changes is the size of the quota, which suits people running several agents continuously, or agents doing token-heavy work like long-thread parsing and research.
Worth being clear about what the top self-serve tier buys: a bigger meter, not a different pricing model. A heavy month can still empty it.
Enterprise, custom quote
Enterprise is sales-quoted with a custom credit allowance. It brings the controls larger organizations tend to require: SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, and dedicated support. Nothing is published, so budgeting starts with a sales conversation.
There is no free Lindy plan
This one gets misreported often, so plainly: Lindy has no free tier. The entry point is a 7-day free trial with full access to Plus features, and no credit card is required to start. When the trial ends, you pick a paid plan or you lose access. Older write-ups that mention a permanent free plan with a starting credit pool are describing a structure Lindy no longer offers.
How Lindy Credits Actually Get Consumed
Lindy is credit-based: every action an agent takes draws from your plan’s monthly usage allowance, and heavier tasks draw more than simple ones. Multi-step work and more advanced models use more of the allowance than a one-line action does, so real-world daily use consumes it faster than light testing suggests.
Lindy describes its tiers relative to one another rather than in absolute credit counts. Pro is quoted at roughly three times the Plus allowance and Max at about seven times, but the exchange rate between a specific task and a specific number of credits is not published. Forecasting gets harder as a result: you can compare the tiers with each other, but you cannot map a month of expected activity onto a specific number before you commit.
So light months are cheap and heavy months are not, and you tend to learn which kind of month you are having only once it is underway. That is how a metered model works: the volume of work your agents do in a given month sets what that month costs.
Voice Calling Is a Separate Line Item
If part of the reason you want an assistant is that it can place a call and get something done, price that part separately.
Lindy does offer voice, but it sits outside the base plan as a separate paid add-on. Lindy doesn’t publish the details of how voice is billed, so the safe assumption is that phone calling is an extra line item on top of your plan rather than something folded into it.
The practical point is that the voice capability you may be buying an assistant for does not show up in the $49.99, $99.99, or $199.99 headline. It is billed separately.
Catch handles voice differently. Outbound calls are included in the flat $99, with no per-call and no per-minute fees. Catch places real calls on your behalf to book a restaurant, arrange a hotel late checkout, or confirm an appointment, and it self-identifies as an AI agent when it does. It does not answer your personal incoming calls, the same way a human executive assistant would not pick up your phone for you.
What the Price Tag Does Not Cover
Cost is only half the question. The other half is what still sits on your plate after you have paid.
Lindy is a builder. You create agents, connect them to your apps, and define the triggers and steps they follow. That flexibility is genuine, and for teams with stable, repeatable processes it earns its keep. Design and upkeep stay with you, though. When a tool changes, a process shifts, or an edge case turns up, someone has to go update the workflow.
The administrative load an executive carries does not break down neatly into triggers. Two meetings collide because a client moved theirs, and someone has to contact the other party and shift one of them. A quiet thread that matters needs chasing, and knowing which threads matter is judgment rather than a rule. A dinner needs booking, prep is owed before the 9 a.m., and one email out of forty genuinely needs a decision.
That work does not vanish. Someone does it: you, a chief of staff, or an executive assistant. A fully loaded US-based executive assistant costs roughly $120,000 to $180,000 a year, and that is the real comparison point, because that is who handles the admin a workflow builder was never designed to take on. Bringing in an AI executive assistant does not mean anyone has to be let go. The traditional admin workload gets handled, and the person on the team can grow into the operational and in-person work software does not touch.
Lindy vs Catch: What You Pay For
| Capability | Catch | Lindy |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat $99/month, one subscription | Credit-based; $49.99, $99.99, or $199.99/month, plus Enterprise |
| Cost predictability | Same price whether it handles ten tasks or ten thousand | Varies with usage, metered against your plan’s monthly allowance |
| Free option | 10-day free trial | 7-day free trial, no free tier |
| Voice calls | Included, no per-call or per-minute fees | Separate paid add-on, billed on top of the plan |
| Setup | Connect Gmail or Outlook, running in under 3 minutes | Design agents and workflows, then maintain them |
| How it decides what to do | Applies judgment, learns priorities and relationships from connected data and your feedback | Executes the triggers and steps you define |
| Triages, drafts, sends, and chases threads that matter | Possible through workflows you configure | |
| Scheduling | Books and reschedules with other people, resolves conflicts by reaching out | Through workflows you set up |
| Reservations and bookings | Yes, including real outbound calls | Requires a voice agent and add-on billing |
| Channels | Slack, email, text message, iMessage, phone | Web app, plus the integrations you connect |
| Ongoing maintenance | None | Workflows need updating as tools and processes change |
| Security | SOC 2 Type II (audited by EY), Google Verified CASA Tier 2, US data hosting | SOC 2 Type II; SSO, SCIM, and HIPAA on Enterprise |
Judged on its own terms, Lindy is a capable platform. The difference is structural rather than a flaw. A builder gives you control over how each agent behaves, and that control comes with the work of designing and maintaining it.
Where Lindy’s Costs Add Up
Usage and cost move together. The more your agents do, the more of your allowance they draw, so the monthly bill rises as adoption grows across the tasks you hand over.
The useful work is the heavier work. Complex reasoning and more advanced models are what make an assistant useful, and they draw more of your allowance than a simple action does. Choosing cheaper models to stretch your usage means accepting weaker output.
Voice sits outside the base subscription. It is a separate paid add-on, billed on top of whatever tier you are on.
Credit allowances are not published in absolute terms. Tiers can be compared with each other. A month cannot be forecast before you buy.
Catch’s flat $99 takes those decisions off the table. One price, voice included, no per-call fees, no meter, and no tier to climb to reach a capability.
How Catch Approaches the Same Work
Catch is an AI Executive Assistant rather than a platform for building one. Setup means connecting Gmail or Outlook, granting permissions, and connecting whatever other tools you use. Under three minutes, fully self-serve, with nothing to draw and no automation canvas to configure.
From there it learns the executive: priorities, key relationships, meeting preferences, which days are in office, who in the inbox actually matters. That picture comes from connected data and from the feedback and corrections it collects over time. Early on it checks before doing things on your behalf. As it learns, it handles more on its own.
Day to day, that means inbox triage that surfaces only what genuinely needs a decision, drafts written in your intent rather than a generic voice, and messages sent. Calendar conflicts get resolved by contacting the other party and moving a meeting. It generates a scheduling link from constraints you give it in plain language, and it clicks through and books someone else’s link on your behalf, choosing a time based on your real availability and how urgent the request is. It reminds you of prep you owe and flags what needs your attention. It places real outbound calls for reservations and appointments. Travel booking is currently in beta. It updates HubSpot or Zoho, closes tasks in Asana, and pulls briefs from Notion.
Slack, email, text message, iMessage, or a phone call: you can reach it from any of those, and start work from any of them.
Which One Fits
Catch is the better choice if you need:
- The administrative work handled end to end: inbox, calendar, meeting prep, reservations, and calls
- Predictable cost: one flat $99 a month, voice included, no per-call fees, no credits to track
- An assistant that applies judgment and acts, rather than executing steps you defined in advance
- Access from the channels you already use, including phone and text message
- A security posture built for executive data: SOC 2 Type II audited by EY, Google Verified CASA Tier 2, and US data hosting
- Nothing to build and nothing to maintain
Lindy is the better choice if you need:
- Custom AI automations built and run across your business tools, with the time available to design and maintain them yourself
For an executive whose actual problem is the admin load, Catch is the stronger fit. It costs less than Lindy’s Pro tier at a fixed price, includes the voice work Lindy bills separately, and requires no workflow building.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Lindy AI cost in 2026?
There are three self-serve tiers: Plus at $49.99 a month, Pro at $99.99 a month, and Max at $199.99 a month, alongside a sales-quoted Enterprise plan. All of them are credit-based, so how much you use affects what you pay.
Does Lindy have a free plan?
No. There is no free tier. The only free option is a 7-day free trial with full access to Plus features, and no credit card is required to start it. Once the trial ends you choose a paid plan.
What is the difference between Lindy Plus, Pro, and Max?
Plus is the base allowance with up to two inboxes. Pro roughly triples the credit allowance, supports three inboxes, and adds computer use and model selection. Max carries about seven times the Plus allowance and supports five inboxes, with the same feature set as Pro.
How do Lindy credits work?
Lindy is credit-based: every action an agent takes draws from your plan’s monthly usage allowance, and heavier tasks draw more than simple ones. Lindy describes its tiers by relative usage, with Pro at roughly three times the Plus allowance and Max at about seven times, rather than publishing a fixed credit cost per task.
Why do Lindy credits run out faster than expected?
Because the useful work is the heavier work. Multi-step tasks and more advanced models draw more of your allowance than a simple action, so daily real-world use consumes it far quicker than light testing suggests.
Does Lindy charge extra for voice calls?
Yes. Voice is a separate paid add-on rather than part of the base subscription, so phone calling is billed on top of the plan price.
How much is Lindy Enterprise?
Enterprise pricing is not published. It is custom-quoted and includes SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA, and dedicated support.
How does Catch pricing compare to Lindy?
Catch is a flat $99 a month with a 10-day free trial, voice calls included, and no per-call fees. Lindy is credit-based from $49.99 to $199.99 a month with voice billed separately, so the Lindy invoice moves with usage while the Catch invoice does not.
Is there a flat-priced alternative to Lindy?
Yes. Catch is an AI Executive Assistant at a flat $99 a month with no credits, no usage tiers, and no per-call fees. It handles email, scheduling, meeting prep, reminders, reservations, and outbound phone calls without any workflow building.
Which is better, Lindy or Catch?
For an executive who wants their admin handled, Catch is the better choice: it costs less than Lindy’s Pro tier at a fixed price, includes voice, and requires no setup beyond connecting your email. Lindy fits a different use case: building and maintaining custom automations across business tools yourself.
