Lindy vs Wordware (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Wordware if

• Fits if you want to describe a workflow in plain English and run it
• Makes sense if you want to start free and see how far it goes

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: the main site now leads with Sauna and links the editor as Wordware v1
• Not for you if you want a price, as the pricing link returns a not-found error
• Watch out: the company's own story, dated October 2025, describes a shift in focus
• Tight if you need limits spelled out, since the free sign-up lists none

Lindy

• There is no ongoing free plan: the $50 of free credits lasts 7 days, after which paid usage starts at $29.99 per user per month.
• Anyone who uses Lindy takes a paid seat, including people who @mention it in Slack; those joining through Slack get a one-time 7-day trial first.
• Monthly credits do not roll over, and Lindy pauses credit-using actions when the shared pool runs out.
• SSO, SCIM, audit logs and HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA are limited to Enterprise.

Wordware

• The pricing link on the product page returns a not-found error, so no plan prices could be read and none are listed.
• The main wordware.ai site now leads with Sauna, a separate assistant product, and links the original Wordware editor as Wordware v1.
• The company's story page, dated October 2025, describes a shift in focus; check that the editor is still sold before building on it.

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.

Wordware

Prompt-based editor

Everything typed into the editor is a prompt. Typing a slash adds a node, and each flow is both the documentation and the program.

Flow nodes

The docs list Generation, Structured Generation, Loop, If-Else, Code execution, Tool, Ask a Human and other node types for building a flow step by step.

Triggers and actions

Flows can start from a trigger such as a new form response and then act in connected apps, for example posting a message to Slack.

Publish and deploy

A finished flow can be published and called through an API, and flows can call other flows.

Many model providers

The product page example flow mixes Perplexity, Claude and GPT models inside one workflow.
