Our verdict

Best for teams that want an assistant in Slack and email that waits for approval on outside actions; every active user is billed.

Lindy's pricing page describes per-user credit plans that pause at zero rather than billing overages, with approval before actions that affect others.

Based on public docs and pricing pages, not hands-on testing. How we check

Strengths

Monthly credits do not roll over (top-ups do)
The feature list mentions Pro and Max plans that the plan table does not show, so confirm what your plan includes
