Lindy vs Max

Lindy

Lindy is for a business team that wants agents acting on real inboxes and calendars this week, with the plumbing to 1,500 apps already done; the skills library and meeting recorder make it closer to a junior colleague than a Zapier flow. The bill is credits per active user, and the free plan is now a seven-day trial rather than a standing tier, so a solo user who wants to run one automation for free should look elsewhere. Engineers who want to own the orchestration will find the canvas limiting.

Pros

• +Trigger-and-steps builder with 40+ reusable skills, no code required
• +Agents can send email, schedule, join meetings and operate a browser on Pro and above
• +1,500+ integrations plus MCP server support
• +Credits are pooled across the team and top-ups are priced plainly at $10 per 1,000
• +Enterprise tier offers HIPAA with a signed BAA, SSO, SCIM and audit logs

Cons

• −Billing is per active user plus credits, so cost rises with both seats and volume
• −The free plan is a 7-day, $50-credit trial, not an ongoing allowance
• −No yearly pricing or public API is shown on the pricing page
• −Legal entity is Crivello Corp in Oregon, named only in the terms

Max

Max's pitch is a coworker you delegate to inside Slack rather than a chatbot you have to prompt well, and the human-approval step before anything sends is a sensible guardrail for a tool touching email and CRM data. It currently connects to a modest 25+ tools versus the '3,000+' it says it's building toward, so real coverage depends heavily on whether your specific stack is already supported.

Pros

• +Human approval gate before anything is sent, reducing the risk of a bad autonomous action
• +Pulls context across 25+ real tools (Gmail, Calendar, HubSpot, Salesforce, Jira) rather than working in isolation
• +Single flat $99/month price instead of a confusing tiered structure

Cons

• −Integration list (25+ tools) is still small relative to the long-term roadmap of 3,000+
• −Only one paid tier, so there's no lower-cost entry point for individuals or small teams

Is Lindy cheaper than Max?

They charge in different units, so there is no like-for-like answer: Lindy starts at $49.99/seat/mo, Max at $99/mo. Entry price is the lowest paid plan as we last verified it.
