Lindy takes a different approach from the workflow builders on this list: instead of drawing a flow, you hire a ready-made assistant and give it work. It lives in Slack threads, manages inboxes and drafts replies in your voice, records and summarizes meetings, handles scheduling and follow-up, and runs scheduled routines such as daily briefs. More than 40 built-in skills, custom skills, 1,500+ integrations and MCP support let it reach into other tools, and you can choose the model for each task. Pricing is credit based: the Team plan starts at $49.99 per user per month for 5,000 credits, credits from all seats are pooled, and top-ups cost $10 per 1,000. Lindy says research or support triage jobs use 250 to 1,000 credits, so heavy users will need larger bundles. There is no lasting free plan, and compliance features such as HIPAA, SSO and audit logs are reserved for Enterprise.

Who it is for
