The fine print
From Lindy's own pricing page and docs, Jul 10, 2026.Credit counts are unpublishedThe pricing page describes usage only as "standard", 3x or 7x the Plus plan. You cannot compute what a conversation costs before you are inside the product.
Tasks burn credits invisiblyA task is everything an agent does after a trigger. Basic models cost one to three credits, large models about ten, and carried-forward conversation history inflates every following task.
Agents pause when credits endExhausted credits hold new tasks until the next cycle, and paused tasks do not resume automatically. Opt-in overage bills at twice the credit price.
Support is a workflow you assembleThe support story is a template: watch an inbox, draft replies, log to a spreadsheet, ping Slack. There is no team inbox, routing or CSAT to switch on.

Common questions
How much does Lindy cost?
Plus is $49.99 a month, Pro $99.99 and Max $199.99, all usage-capped in credits whose per-tier counts are not published. Invent is $29/mo with usage included and a published per-message rate.
How do Lindy credits work?
Each triggered task burns credits: one to three on basic models, around ten on large ones, more as conversation history grows. Credits do not roll over; when they run out, agents pause or overage bills at twice the rate.
Can Lindy do customer support?
You can assemble a support workflow from templates: monitor an inbox, search a knowledge base, draft replies, escalate to Slack. But there is no team inbox, no CSAT and no support analytics. Invent ships all of that as the product.
Which is better, Invent or Lindy?
Different jobs. Lindy shines at automating your own work: email triage, meeting notes, CRM updates. Invent is built for your customers: an AI agent on every channel with your team in the loop. Some teams happily run both.
