Cassidy AI vs Lindy (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Cassidy AI if

• Fits if you want agents that read your company documents inside Slack or Teams
• Works for small teams on Starter's 3 seats

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price, since both plans are behind a demo
• Tight if you grow past Starter: 3 seats, 5 agents and 5 workflows
• Watch out: SSO, audit logs and retention controls are on Business only
• Skip it if you want desktop or phone apps, because there aren't any

Pick Lindy if

• Fits if your team lives in Slack and wants one shared AI teammate
• Works for reports, briefs and follow-ups that come round every week

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a free plan to stay on, as the $50 of credits runs out after 7 days
• Pricey if lots of people dip in now and then, since everyone who @mentions it takes a paid seat
• Skip it if you need SSO, SCIM, audit logs or HIPAA compliance, which are Enterprise only
• Watch out: credits don't roll over, and actions that use them pause when the shared pool runs out
• Skip it if you want a phone or desktop app of its own, as it works through Slack, iMessage, email and the web

Cassidy AI

Agents

Agents are created in plain language and connected to company sources. They can be used in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, a browser extension, Office add-ins, or through an API.

Workflows

Multi-step automations with scheduled and custom triggers, conditional logic, human-in-the-loop approval steps, retries and bulk runs.

Knowledge base

Stores company documents as pages and keeps them in step with sources such as Google Drive and SharePoint. Sync is every 24 hours on Starter and instant on Business.

Meeting recorder

Captures and transcribes meetings so the transcript can feed agents and trigger workflows. Starter gets limited hours.

Model choice

The pricing page lists OpenAI models, Claude models and Google Gemini, with a limited choice on Starter.

Lindy

Shared teammate in Slack

A whole team shares one Lindy, summoned with an @mention in Slack channels and threads. It can also be reached by iMessage, by email and in the browser.

Integrations and MCP

Connects to Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot and more than 1,000 other apps, and can use any MCP server to reach tools that have no built-in integration.

Meeting recording and notes

Records meetings and writes notes into a shared library with folders that teammates can query later. It also handles scheduling, prep and follow-up.

Scheduled routines

Recurring work such as a morning brief, a Monday report or a Friday nudge can be set up in a sentence and run on a schedule.

Skills and editable memory

Comes with more than 40 skills, including research, data analysis and slide decks. New skills can be saved for the whole team, and its memory lives in plain files you can edit.

Approvals

Actions with outside impact, such as sending an email or updating a ticket, wait for approval. Read-only lookups from approved sources do not.
