Verdict
Can Lindy handle customer and meeting follow-ups, and what do credits cost?
The page lists inbox management with replies drafted in your voice, meeting recording, notes, scheduling and follow-up, plus 1,500+ integrations. The free plan gives $50 of one-time credits that last 7 days, and Team starts at $29.99 a month for 3,000 credits.
Who should consider it. Consider it if you want one assistant to manage email and meeting follow-ups and are comfortable paying per user in credits.
Start here: first steps with Lindy
Editorial guidance based on the vendor details we recorded. We have not tested Lindy, and we do not describe its screens or settings.
- Who should start with it
- Small teams that want an assistant to draft email replies and follow up after meetings.
- Before you create an account
- Pick one real job, for example "Automate customer follow-ups", and prepare invented or non-sensitive input for the first try.
- Read the vendor's data and privacy terms. Our privacy review checklist lists what to look for.
- Commercial-use terms: we have not verified them. Read the vendor's terms for the plan you will use.
- Which plan to start with
- No free plan is confirmed. Start with the free trial. The Free plan gives $50 of one-time credits that last 7 days, with no credit card. New teammates who join through Slack get a 7-day free trial before billing.
- A first small task
- Try a small version of a real case like this one: A founder who wants drafted replies and meeting follow-ups handled from Slack.
- How to tell whether it helps
- Time the job by hand first. Then record minutes taken, minutes of editing and credits or usage used. Use the trial scorecard.
- Common first-week mistakes
- Spending credits or usage on experiments without noting how much one job used.
- Adding seats before you know the tool works for you, or missing a seat minimum.
- Putting private or customer data in before reading how the vendor handles it.
- When to consider another tool
- Anyone who needs a free plan beyond the 7-day credit window.
- Anyone who needs an API: the page does not describe one.
Alternatives: Zapier, Make. Reasons to switch.

Follow up after a customer call
Outcome: A drafted follow-up email you review before sending
- Let the assistant record the meeting and take notes.
- Ask it to draft a follow-up email in your voice, listing agreed next steps.

- Pricing model
- Credits, Per seat or user
- Currency
- Shown as "$"; the vendor's page does not name the currency
- Commercial use
- Not verified
- API
- Not confirmed · The pricing page does not mention an API; MCP support is listed.
- Pricing checked
- 21 Oct 2026 · Vendor pricing page (opens in a new tab)
- Monthly prices are shown. Annual billing is not mentioned.
- Rechecked on 21 October 2026: the pricing page, its FAQ and its footnotes name no currency, so the "$" is shown as listed and never treated as USD.
- The page says every active user in the workspace is billed, so the Team price is per user. Credits are pooled across the team and do not roll over, and extra credits cost $10 per 1,000.
Prices are shown as each vendor lists them. Where a vendor shows only a "$" sign, its page does not name the currency, and vendors may show a local currency or regional price. Confirm on the vendor's page before buying.

- Free access: Make is "free plan" (1,000 credits a month; 1 MB data storage; 1 data store); Lindy is "free trial".
