# Lindy now sells an AI teammate for the whole team, priced per active user. What are the best Lindy alternatives? And which ones don't charge for every person? Source: https://maito.app/blog/lindy-alternatives Date: 2026-10-14 Author: Dmitry Dubovetzky Facts checked: 2026-10-20 Lindy alternatives: Maito, Viktor, Claude Tag, Tasklet, and Adapt compared on seats, shared and private memory, meetings and email, code, and price, for teams whose Lindy bill grows with every person who joins. ## What are the best Lindy alternatives? **The best Lindy alternatives are Maito, Viktor, Claude Tag, Tasklet, and Adapt. Maito is the closest fit for teams that want one shared teammate for business work and code, with no charge per person.** This guide is for a ten-person team where a few people use AI daily and the rest ask now and then. Choose Maito if everyone should be able to ask without a seat and customer calls often turn into fixes. Choose Lindy if a personal inbox and meeting assistant for each regular user is the main job; if that's all you need, Lindy is the better buy. | | Best pick | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | | Business work and code fixes with no per-person price | Maito | | Microsoft Teams and bundled model credits | Viktor | | A company already paying for Claude Team | Claude Tag | | Business agents for the lowest monthly price | Tasklet | | Control over models, compute, and deployment | Adapt | | A personal inbox and meeting assistant for each user | Lindy | ## Why do teams look for a Lindy alternative? **Teams look for a Lindy alternative when the per-user price grows faster than the work, when occasional Slack users turn into paid seats, or when they need the same teammate to fix the product, not only the follow-up.** As of October 2026, Lindy Team costs $49.99 per active user per month. Anyone who uses Lindy in Slack takes a seat: people who join through Slack get a seven-day introduction, and direct signups are billed right away. Ten active people cost $499.90 a month, before credit top-ups. [Lindy pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing). Credits add a second limit. Each seat brings 5,000 credits to a shared pool, monthly credits don't roll over, and credit-using work pauses when the pool is empty until someone buys more at $10 per 1,000. [Lindy pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing). Reviews show the same split. As of October 2026, Lindy rates 4.9 on G2 from about 170 reviews, where people like how fast it gets going, and 1.7 on Trustpilot from 40, where most complaints are about credits running out sooner than expected and billing. [Lindy on G2](https://www.g2.com/products/lindy-lindy/reviews), [Lindy on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/lindy.ai). ## What does Lindy do well? **Lindy is strongest at personal communication work for each teammate, such as inbox triage, scheduling, meeting notes, and follow-ups, alongside a shared teammate in Slack channels.** When someone mentions Lindy in a Slack channel, the work is visible to the team; in a DM, it's personal. Lindy also works over email and iMessage, with a web app for management. [Lindy introduction](https://docs.lindy.ai/). Its memory is a versioned file explorer: personal files stay private, team files are readable by everyone and edited by owners and admins, and built-in files are read-only. Team skills are shared and managed by admins, and Lindy picks the relevant skill on its own. [Lindy memory](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/memory), [Lindy skills](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/skills). Routines start from a schedule, an email, a Slack message, a calendar event, or a finished meeting, and a dry run reads real data without sending anything. You choose which actions in shared Slack threads need approval. [Lindy routines](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/routines), [Lindy guardrails](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/setup). A team whose day is meetings and email gets a lot from that package. ## How do the Lindy alternatives compare at a glance? **Maito is the Lindy alternative with no per-person price, the AI provider you choose, and the whole bug-to-fix job in the same thread as the follow-up email.** | | Maito | Viktor | Claude Tag | Tasklet | Adapt | | -------------------- | --------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | Charged per person | No, $149 per workspace | No, workspace credits | Claude seats plus usage | No, per organization | $8 per user | | Who can ask | Anyone in an invited channel | No seats needed | Configurable for all members | Members it's shared with | Each user on a seat | | Email and calendar | Through each person's connections | Follow-ups and CRM updates | Through connected tools | Email triggers and actions | Through connected tools | | Private memory | Personal memory, private DMs | Personal profile | Separate DM memory | Follows agent sharing | Scoped by identity | | Code changes | Sandbox, checks, QA, pull request | Branches and pull requests | Commits and pull requests | GitHub tools and instant apps | Issues to tested pull requests | | Recurring work | Loops on a schedule or webhook | Script and agent jobs | Routines in channels | Schedules, webhooks, email | Scheduled jobs and events | | Security | Encrypted Vault, audit log | SOC 2 Type 1 | SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 | SOC 2 | SOC 2 Type II, VPC option | | Price for ten people | $149 plus provider usage | From $50 plus top-ups | Claude plan plus usage | From $25 | $80 plus usage | Sources: Maito: [workflow, access, and context](/faq), [pricing](/pricing).

Maito is a good Lindy alternative for teams that want one AI teammate for the whole company, including the people who ask once a month, at $149 per workspace with unlimited people, plus your AI provider's usage.** Anyone in a channel where Maito is invited can mention it and reply in its threads, without a Maito account, account linking, or a seat. People who want private DMs link their own account from Slack's Home tab in one step, and no admin has to approve them. [Maito FAQ](/faq). Maito covers the same communication work through each person's connections: a personal Gmail or calendar connection stays visible only to its owner, and shared work uses connections the team chose to share. It remembers each person's role and preferences privately and learns company facts from shared threads. Where it goes further is the product itself. When a customer call turns up a bug, the same thread can go from the call notes to a reproduced bug, a video, a fix with tests, QA, a pull request, and the follow-up email. _Illustrative conversation:_ > **Marta:** @Maito notes from today's call with Halden are attached. Draft the follow-up, and look at the invoice PDF bug they showed me. > > **Maito:** Follow-up is drafted in your Gmail with the three action items from the call. > The bug is real: invoice PDFs cut off line items after page one when a customer has more than 25 seats. Video of it attached. > PR #377 fixes the page break and adds a test with 60 line items. QA passed on the preview. > > **Ines:** I'm on billing, first time in this thread. Can the fix ship before their renewal on the 28th? > > **Maito:** Yes, it's ready for review now. I'll add the release date to Marta's follow-up once it merges. ## How does Maito handle what Lindy handles in DMs? **Maito keeps DMs private to the person who sent them, keeps personal connections personal, and never teaches the company from a private conversation unless asked.** Each DM conversation belongs to one Maito member. A connection marked Only me works in that person's unshared chats, and no one else's agent can use it. When someone wants a fact from a private chat to become company knowledge, they ask Maito to share it; the conversation itself stays private. [Maito FAQ](/faq). Lindy's meeting recording is the clearest thing Maito doesn't package the same way. Maito works with the notes, transcripts, and recordings your meeting tool already produces, through your connections. **Best for:** teams where many people ask now and then, and customer calls turn into product fixes. **Falls short of Lindy:** no built-in meeting recorder, no SOC 2 report, and no free plan. ## Is Viktor a good Lindy alternative? **Viktor is a good Lindy alternative for teams that want no seat fee and heavier work, such as dashboards, internal apps, and code, from Slack or Microsoft Teams.** Viktor charges the whole workspace from $50 a month for 20,000 shared credits, or $100 for 40,000, with top-ups and spending caps. It does reports, campaigns, CRM updates, and code fixes with pull requests, and remembers personal, team, and workflow knowledge. [Viktor pricing](https://viktor.com/pricing), [Viktor skills and memory](https://viktor.com/academy/skills-and-memory). Unused credits roll over one billing period, then expire, and work pauses at zero. [Viktor billing guide](https://viktor.com/academy/credits-and-billing). **Best for:** companies on Microsoft Teams that want model costs inside one bill. **Falls short of Lindy:** no personal inbox and calendar assistant for each person, and SOC 2 Type 1 instead of Type II. ## Is Claude Tag a good Lindy alternative? **Claude Tag is a good Lindy alternative for companies already on Claude Team or Enterprise that want a shared Claude in Slack channels with careful memory scopes.** Each channel keeps its own notes, public channels add to a workspace memory, and DMs stay separate. Routines post updates, watch channels, and check monitoring. It commits and opens pull requests as the Claude GitHub App. [Claude Tag memory](https://claude.com/docs/claude-tag/users/memory), [Claude Tag agent identity](https://claude.com/docs/claude-tag/concepts/agent-identity). Channel work is billed by usage to the organization, and member access can include everyone in the Slack workspace. [What is Claude Tag](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/15594475-what-is-claude-tag). **Best for:** Slack teams that have chosen Claude and have an Owner ready to set it up. **Falls short of Lindy:** Slack only, no email or iMessage, and it needs a Claude Team or Enterprise plan first. ## Is Tasklet a good Lindy alternative? **Tasklet is a good Lindy alternative for a team that wants unlimited members and a set of business agents it builds and shares, such as an onboarding agent or a reporting agent.** Agents start private and can be shared with organization members, with "can use" and "can manage" roles. They run on schedules, webhooks, and incoming email, and use a browser on paid plans. [Tasklet teams FAQ](https://tasklet.ai/learn/teams-faq), [Tasklet changelog](https://tasklet.ai/changelog). Pricing is per organization: $25 a month for 10,000 credits, $100 for 40,000, with no charge per member. [Tasklet pricing](https://tasklet.ai/pricing). **Best for:** operations teams that want a few agents running fixed processes. **Falls short of Lindy:** you manage agents in Tasklet's own app rather than talking to one teammate in Slack threads. ## Is Adapt a good Lindy alternative? **Adapt is a good Lindy alternative for a technical team that wants a configurable company agent and a lower per-user price, with usage billed separately.** Adapt connects to CRM, finance, warehouse, support, HR, and developer tools, keeps a company brain of knowledge, skills, and memory, and governs actions with scopes, approvals, budgets, and audit records. [Adapt platform](https://adapt.com/product/overview), [Adapt Enterprise](https://adapt.com/enterprise). Managed Adapt is $8 per user per month plus compute, storage, memory, and models; ten users start at $80 a month. [Adapt pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing). **Best for:** technical teams that want to own model routing, budgets, and deployment. **Falls short of Lindy:** more setup, and compute and models arrive as separate metered charges. ## What happens to the Lindy bill when the team grows? **As of October 2026, Lindy's bill rises by $49.99 for every new active user. Maito's subscription stays at $149 whether five people use it or fifty.** | | 5 people | 10 people | 25 people | What else you pay | | ------ | -------- | --------- | --------- | ------------------------------------ | | Lindy | $249.95 | $499.90 | $1,249.75 | Credit top-ups at $10 per 1,000 | | Maito | $149 | $149 | $149 | Your AI provider's usage | | Viktor | From $50 | From $50 | From $50 | Credit top-ups | | Adapt | $40 | $80 | $200 | Compute, storage, memory, and models | The credits buy different things: Lindy's seats bring pooled model credits, Viktor's subscription includes them, and Maito's model usage goes to your own AI provider. [Viktor pricing](https://viktor.com/pricing), [Adapt pricing](https://adapt.com/pricing). ## How can you test the Lindy alternatives on one job? **Give two products from the shortlist the same three follow-ups: Ada owes Lake a proposal and Field an invoice confirmation, Ben owes Hill a review booking. Good work is three unsent drafts with the right owner on each.** Have someone who isn't a daily user ask, because that's the person a per-seat price counts. Then add a twist from a real customer call, like a bug they mentioned, and see which one carries it from the follow-up to a fix. ## So should you choose Maito or Lindy? **Choose Maito if you want everyone in the company to use one AI teammate without a seat each, with product and code work done in the same thread. Choose Lindy if a personal meeting and inbox assistant for every regular user is the main job.** **Choose Maito if:** - Many people ask occasionally, and seats add up - Customer conversations often turn into product fixes - You want to choose the AI provider and see its bill - Your team also works by email and in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok, or Muse **Choose Lindy if:** - Every user wants a personal inbox and meeting assistant - Meeting recording is a must-have - Your team is small and uses it all day Count how many people would ask an AI teammate for something at least once a month, not only the daily users. That number usually decides between a price per person and a price per workspace. ## Lindy alternatives: frequently asked questions ### What is the cheapest Lindy alternative?
