# Viktor and Lindy both sell an AI teammate for Slack. Which one does more of the work? And which one costs less for a ten-person team? Source: https://maito.app/compare/viktor-vs-lindy Date: 2026-10-14 Author: Dmitry Dubovetzky Viktor vs Lindy: Viktor is an AI employee for Slack and Microsoft Teams that builds reports, apps, and code fixes on shared workspace credits. Lindy is a shared Slack teammate and personal inbox, calendar, and meeting assistant billed per active user. ## What's the difference between Viktor and Lindy? **Viktor is an AI employee that takes on whole assignments, from reports and dashboards to code fixes, paid for with shared workspace credits. Lindy is a shared teammate and personal assistant built around email, calendars, and meetings, paid per active user.** Both now sell themselves as a teammate for the whole company, and both answer in Slack threads, remember the team, run recurring work, and ask before sensitive actions. The difference is where each one reaches. Viktor reaches into the company's systems: CRM, ad accounts, spreadsheets, repositories. Lindy reaches into each person's day: their inbox, calendar, meetings, and texts. The pricing follows the same split. Viktor charges the workspace and meters the work. Lindy charges each person and pools their credits. ## What is Viktor best at? **Viktor is best at multi-step business assignments across many connected tools, such as client account reviews, CRM clean-ups, campaign reports, internal apps, and repository fixes.** It works in Slack and Microsoft Teams, connects to more than 3,200 apps, and shows its output in Spaces and Pages. It clones repositories, creates branches, fixes bugs, and opens pull requests. [Viktor](https://viktor.com/), [Viktor on the Slack Marketplace](https://viktor.com/blog/slack-marketplace-ai-agent). Reviewers on Product Hunt describe client account analysis, CRM updates, and recurring operations inside Slack, and give it 4.9 out of 5.

In Slack channels, its work is visible to the team; in DMs, it's private. Routines can start when a meeting ends, an email arrives, or a calendar event comes up. [Lindy quickstart](https://docs.lindy.ai/start-here/quickstart), [Lindy routines](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/routines). G2 reviewers, who give it 4.9 out of 5 across 171 reviews, single out email handling, scheduling, call notes, and lead qualification.

Lindy goes deeper into personal inboxes and meetings.** | | Viktor | Lindy | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | What it is | An AI employee for the team | A team teammate and personal assistant | | Where you use it | Slack and Microsoft Teams | Slack, email, iMessage, web | | Email and meetings | Yes: Follow-ups and CRM updates | Yes: Inbox, calendar, and meeting notes | | Code changes | Yes: Branches and pull requests | Partly: Internal tools and HTML pages | | Memory | Yes: Personal, team, and workflow skills | Yes: Personal, team, and system files | | Recurring work | Yes: Script jobs and agent jobs | Yes: Routines on schedules and events | | Pricing unit | Workspace credits | Active users | | Price | $100 per workspace per month | $49.99 per active user per month | ## Which one handles code, Viktor or Lindy? **Viktor. It clones your repositories, fixes bugs on branches, and opens pull requests. Lindy builds internal tools and HTML pages, which is software creation, not work on your product's codebase.** For a team that wants an AI teammate to touch its product, Viktor is the one of the two that does. Its security settings require sign-off before Viktor pushes code. [Viktor security](https://viktor.com/security). Lindy's large-task examples include internal tools and HTML artifacts. For a team whose product lives in a repository, that's a different job. [Lindy pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing). ## Which one keeps work private better, Viktor or Lindy? **Both separate personal and shared context. Lindy draws the line by file, with private personal files and workspace-readable team files. Viktor draws it by memory type, with a personal profile, team knowledge, and workflow skills.** Lindy's memory is a versioned file explorer: personal files are private inside the workspace, team files are readable by all members and edited by owners and admins, and system files are read-only. [Lindy memory](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/memory). Viktor's personal profile keeps each person's writing style and boundaries, while team updates apply to everyone's later work. Admins control which integrations Viktor can use, and credentials are injected only when a task runs. [Viktor skills and memory](https://viktor.com/academy/skills-and-memory), [Viktor security](https://viktor.com/security). Reviewers of both raise the same practical point: context from one place doesn't always carry cleanly to another, whether that's a different Slack channel for Viktor or a repeated instruction for Lindy.

Lindy's routines use credits from the pooled seat allowance, and a dry run checks a routine before it sends anything.** Viktor splits scheduled work into script jobs and agent jobs. A script with no model calls costs nothing; an agent job spends credits each run, so frequency and model choice set the cost. [Viktor recurring work](https://viktor.com/academy/automating-recurring-work). Lindy's routines combine a trigger, a prompt, and a destination. A dry run does real reads but holds back writes and sends, so you see what would happen first. Personal routines can be turned into scripts. [Lindy routines](https://docs.lindy.ai/teammate/routines). ## What do Viktor and Lindy cost for a team of ten? **Viktor costs $100 a month for the workspace, with 40,000 shared credits. Lindy costs $499.90 a month for ten active users, with 50,000 pooled credits.** **Viktor Team: $100 per workspace per month** - 40,000 shared credits each month, no seats - Credits roll over one period, then expire - Top-ups, automatic top-ups, and spend caps - Work pauses at zero credits **Lindy Team: $49.99 per active user per month** - 5,000 credits per user, pooled - Monthly credits don't roll over - Top-ups at $10 per 1,000 credits - Anyone active in Slack takes a seat The bigger the team, the more the pricing units matter. A 25-person team that asks occasionally pays Lindy $1,249.75 a month and Viktor still $100 plus whatever extra credits the work needs. A three-person team that uses it all day pays Lindy $149.97 and gets 15,000 credits. [Viktor pricing](https://viktor.com/pricing), [Lindy pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing). ## So should you choose Viktor or Lindy? **Choose Viktor if your team needs reports, apps, and code fixes from Slack or Microsoft Teams without paying per person. Choose Lindy if your team's work lives in inboxes, calendars, and meetings, and every regular user wants a personal assistant.** **Choose Viktor if:** - You need pull requests, dashboards, and internal apps - Part of your company works in Microsoft Teams - Many people ask occasionally, so seats would add up **Choose Lindy if:** - Most work is email, scheduling, and meetings - Each person wants their own inbox assistant - Your team is small and uses it all day ## Is there a Viktor or Lindy alternative that covers both kinds of work? **Yes. Maito handles company systems, personal follow-ups, and any coding task in the same thread, for $149 per workspace with unlimited people, plus your AI provider's usage.** Each person's Gmail or calendar connection stays theirs, shared work uses the team's shared connections, and code changes run in a sandbox with checks and QA before a pull request. Your team reaches it in Slack or in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok, and Muse. [Maito FAQ](/faq). _Illustrative conversation:_ > **Sofia:** @Maito yesterday's webinar recording is in Drive. Write the recap for attendees, and fix the FAQ page answer about SSO that people asked about three times. > > **Maito:** Recap is drafted in your Gmail for the 212 attendees, with the three most-asked questions and answers. > The FAQ said SSO is Enterprise-only, but it's on Business too since July. PR #451 corrects the answer and the pricing table tooltip. Preview checked. Viktor would have fixed the page, and Lindy would have written the recap. Here one teammate did both, in the thread where the request came in.
