Positioning

Where our product fits

Chase the invoice. Ship the website update. Prepare the report. Fix the code. Every task keeps its request, contributors and result together, ready for the next colleague or agent to pick up.

Keep Lindy where it fits. Bring the rest of the company’s backlog here.

Context

What Lindy is, and where it stops

Lindy is the most business-shaped tool on this list, and the one that best understands that most company work is a process. You assemble an AI teammate from a trigger and a set of steps, wire it into mail, calendar, CRM and the support desk, and it runs. You pick the model per task, computer use is included, and the integration catalogue is deep. For a workflow with a known shape, nothing here gets you live faster.

That shape is also the boundary. Ad-hoc requests are supported, but the product is strongest where you have designed the steps in advance, and weakest on open-ended work that fits no workflow you built. Credits abstract away what a task really cost, and the conversion changes per plan. And because everything runs in Lindy's cloud, it never gets a shell on your machine, never touches a repo, and can only reach what the catalogue already covers.

Ops and go-to-market teams automating repeatable processes without writing code.
Why people switch

Three reasons Lindy users look elsewhere

01
You build the process, not just the goal

You can ask its assistant for a one-off, but the product is built around workflows you design: triggers and steps, assembled before the work runs. Handing over an unfamiliar goal with no process behind it is a different shape of product.

02
Reaches your apps, not your machines

Integrations and computer use cover the SaaS side, but there is no shell on your PC, no cloud VM of your own and no repo, so your build, deploy and data tooling stays out of reach.

03
Credits blur the bill

Costs land in credits, not dollars, and the rate differs by plan: 100 per dollar on Plus, about 175 on Max. Comparing what a task cost means converting first.

04
The workspace is shared, the board is not

Credits, workflows and Slack channels are shared, and ad-hoc tasks can be asked for directly. What is missing is the place that holds them: no one list of everything in flight across the company, and no item a colleague and an agent both own.

Lindy · what it meters

Abstract credits: 100 per dollar at Plus, ~150 at Pro, ~175 at Max, so the same task costs different money on different plans. Top-ups are $10 per 1,000 and never expire.

Verdict

Bottom line

Our take
Lindy is the better buy if your work is a set of defined business processes and you want to build them without code. TODO for AI is the better buy when the work is open-ended, when the agent needs a shell on your own machine and repo, when any CLI you install should count as an integration, and when business work belongs on the same team board.
FAQ

Common questions

Is TODO for AI a Lindy alternative?
For teams that would rather describe a goal than build a workflow, yes. Lindy is the better no-code process builder; TODO for AI is the better fit for open-ended work and anything that has to touch your own machines, repos and CLI tools.
How does credit pricing compare?
Lindy meters credits at 100 per dollar on Plus and about 175 on Max, so the same task costs different money on different plans. TODO for AI also uses credits, and usage depends on the model. Its credits are not equivalent to Lindy credits or raw API dollars. Compare the total bill and completed work.
Can TODO for AI handle email, CRM and meetings?
Yes, through CLI tools for Gmail, calendars, CRMs, ad platforms and socials, plus your own logged-in browser for anything without an API. Lindy will be quicker to set up for a fixed, repeating process.
Does Lindy work with my codebase?
No. Lindy is a business workflow product with no shell or repo access. TODO for AI does code and business tasks in one agent.
