Lindy pricing for email, and what credits buy
Lindy starts with $50 of free credits for 7 days, then bills per user from $29.99 a month. What email triage and drafts cost in credits, and how to cancel.
By Emmett Miller
Lindy is free for 7 days with $50 in credits and no card, then costs from $29.99 a month per user for 3,000 credits, up to $9,999.50 a month for 1,750,000 credits, with Enterprise priced on request. There is no yearly price, extra credits cost $10 per 1,000, and when we loaded the pricing page several times, some loads showed the plan starting at $49.99 for 5,000 credits instead.
Lindy is an AI assistant for a whole team. It works in Slack, iMessage, meetings and 1,500+ apps, and email is one of its jobs. Its plans don't sell email on its own, so this page works out what the email part costs you. Prices as of November 2026, from Lindy's pricing page and its billing docs.
Lindy plans and prices
| Plan | Price per user, monthly | Credits each month | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $50 in credits, for 7 days | No card needed |
| Team | From $29.99 (3,000 credits) | 3,000 to 1,750,000 | Credits pooled across the team, top-ups, choice of model |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | HIPAA with a signed BAA, SSO and SCIM, audit logs, bonus credits |
The Team plan is one price list with a dropdown of credit tiers. A few steps from it: 3,000 credits for $29.99, 5,000 for $49.99, 15,000 for $99.99, 35,000 for $199.99, 175,000 for $999.95, and 1,750,000 for $9,999.50 (pricing). Lindy's billing docs name the plans Plus, Pro and Max, and say "Computer use on Pro and Max." The pricing page's product data matches them to tiers: Plus at $29.99 with 3,000 credits, Pro at $99.99 with 15,000, and Max at $199.99 with 35,000.
Prices are in US dollars. The page shows no yearly billing.
How much does Lindy cost for email?
Lindy doesn't publish a price per email. You pay for a seat, and every email job spends credits from it. A credit costs "$0.01 per credit on base plans" (docs), so 3,000 credits is $30 of work.
The pricing page puts "drafting a reply" with everyday asks, at "2-250 Credits." On the smallest plan, that range is between 12 and 1,500 drafts a month, if Lindy did nothing else. Lindy's usage docs rate "Email alerts on time-sensitive mail" and a daily brief as "Very low," and a phone call at "From 25 credits per minute."
Two email jobs run on their own once you turn them on:
- Email labeling "reads every incoming email and labels it, archiving what you don't need to see" (docs). It needs "A plan with Assistant features."
- Email drafting "reads incoming emails that need a response, drafts a reply in your style, and saves it to your drafts" (docs).
So a busy inbox spends credits every day, whether or not you open Lindy. To see what your email jobs spend, open Settings → Members; its Credits column shows what each person used this cycle.
Which accounts. Email works with Gmail and Outlook. The pricing page lists "Connect 2 to 5 inboxes, depending on plan," and doesn't say which plan gets which number. The Chrome extension that puts Lindy inside Gmail is "currently Gmail only." There's no iCloud support in the docs we read.
Is there a free Lindy plan?
There is a free start, not a free plan. You get "$50 in free credits," "No credit card required," and "Free credits last 7 days" (pricing). After that, "Choose a paid plan to keep using Lindy" (docs).
People who join a workspace by mentioning Lindy in Slack get "a 7-day free trial before the seat is billed." People who sign up directly "are billed right away." The free week is "one-time per teammate."
Is there a yearly, team or student discount?
Lindy's pages show none. Every plan is monthly, there is no student or non-profit price, and the pricing page lists no yearly option. Larger teams buy bigger credit tiers. Enterprise adds "Shared usage + bonus credits" at a price you get from sales.
Every person costs a seat. "Anyone who uses Lindy takes a seat, whether they sign up directly, join your workspace, or @mention Lindy in Slack." Each seat adds its credits to one shared pool, and an admin can cap what any one person spends.
What happens when Lindy runs out of credits?
Lindy stops working until you pay more or the month resets. "Lindy pauses credit-using actions until your credits reset at the start of your next cycle" (pricing). An admin can top up at $10 per 1,000 credits, or move to a bigger tier.
Monthly credits "don't roll over." Top-up credits "are yours until you use them." If one task uses far more than usual, Lindy pauses and asks before it goes on.
How do you cancel Lindy, and can you get a refund?
You can cancel any time, and you won't get money back. Lindy's terms say "All purchases are non-refundable," and you cancel "by contacting us using the contact information provided below or within your account." Cancelling "will take effect at the end of the current paid term."
The pricing page says the workspace "stays active through the cycle you've paid for, with no mid-cycle proration. After that, credit-using actions stop." Removing one teammate works the same way: the seat stays paid to the end of the cycle.
Watch the Slack trial. The terms say trial seats "may convert to paid seats" unless removed before the trial ends. Each admin gets an email when someone joins, with a link to remove them.
Why does Lindy cost what it does?
You pay for model time. Credits measure "the work Lindy does," and "bigger jobs use more" (pricing). Lindy lets you "Pick your model of choice for each task," and the docs say Lindy picks a model to make credits go further, unless you choose. A research report or an internal tool can take 250 to 2,500 credits, so the same seat covers far less heavy work than email.
Is Lindy worth it for email?
It depends on how much else you give it. Lindy is priced like a team assistant. If your team also uses it for meetings, Slack questions and research, email is one job among many on the same bill. If you only want inbox labels and reply drafts, you pay for a seat and credits built for more than that, and a busy inbox spends them every day.
One more thing to check: drafts can carry a footer. The drafting docs list an Include "Sent with Lindy" switch, which "may not appear, depending on your rollout."

Cheaper ways to get email help: Alrighty and two flat-price tools
If email is the only job, these cost less than a Lindy seat, and none of them runs on credits you buy.
Alrighty. Alrighty is our mail app for Mac, Windows and Linux, for iCloud, Gmail and Outlook accounts in one inbox. Signed in, open a reply and it suggests a draft in your voice, written from up to 12 emails you sent before. Ask for a change in your own words, or click Shorten, Warmer or Formalize. It's always a draft, and you send it. You can also connect the AI you already pay for, such as Claude or ChatGPT's desktop app, so it reads and searches your mail; that AI is billed by its own company, not by Alrighty. The price is a 14-day trial with no card, then a Free plan or Pro. Free has a small monthly AI allowance and no sorting into groups. What it can't do: it has no calendar and no Slack, so it doesn't book meetings or answer your team. There's no iPhone or web app. Its own AI features send the emails they need to Alrighty's server, which asks OpenAI or another model company. See the features, or set up your own AI with our guide to letting Claude read your email.
Superhuman Email Assistant. It labels mail, drafts replies and archives low-priority messages in Gmail or Outlook. It's "$12 per month when billed annually, or $15 per month when billed monthly" (Superhuman).
Inbox Zero. It sorts and labels mail and drafts replies in Gmail or Outlook. Starter is $20 a month (Inbox Zero).

Questions
Does Lindy charge per user or per workspace?
Both. Every active user is billed for a seat, and all seats put their credits into one pool for the workspace. Your bill grows with the number of people who use Lindy, even if only one of them uses it for email.
Will Lindy send an email without my approval?
Lindy's pricing page says no: "Anything with outside impact waits for approval," and it names "sending an email" as one example. Reading your mail doesn't need approval. Drafts land in your drafts folder for you to review.
Does Lindy work with Outlook and iCloud?
It works with Outlook and Gmail. You connect either with + Add account on a routine's card. The Chrome extension is Gmail only for now, and the docs we read don't mention iCloud.
Why did I see a different Lindy price than this page?
Lindy's pricing page showed two starting prices when we checked: $29.99 for 3,000 credits on some loads, and $49.99 for 5,000 credits on others. The cost per credit is the same at both steps. Check the price in Settings → Billing before you pay.
