Lindy is a hosted AI teammate for work across connected tools. Its current product includes Slack conversations, iMessage, web access, routines and persistent workspace context.
The current pricing model is a Team subscription from $29.99 per active user each month, with 3,000 credits per user pooled across the team. Enterprise adds features such as SSO, SCIM, audit logs and onboarding.
Lindy offers hosting and onboarding alongside its configurable teammate. Compare how much work your team wants to configure itself and which implementation responsibilities each provider will commit to.
What is Toyo?
Personal Toyo is an AI assistant for daily work. Message it, send a voice note or call it for help with your inbox, calendar, meeting preparation and follow-ups.
Toyo for Teams brings company context and team workflows together. It includes SSO and a personal agent for each team member, with access available on request. Connected tools such as Claude and ChatGPT can use approved company context through MCP.
For custom team work, Toyo scopes the workflow, integrations, review points and support with you. Engineers can build, test, deploy and improve the system within that engagement. This support is not automatically included in every personal subscription or Teams access request.
The differences that affect your team
The current Lindy product
Lindy is not just a drag-and-drop workflow builder. Its current offering includes a shared teammate, routines and several messaging channels. Toyo's distinction is the combination of personal assistance, shared company context and a scoped implementation service, not the mere ability to send messages.
Configuration or a delivered engagement
Lindy gives your team tools for configuring work. Toyo can scope, build, test and run a custom workflow with engineers. That help is an engagement decision, not a promise attached to every Toyo subscription. Lindy also offers onboarding; compare what each provider agrees to do.
Sharing context beyond one assistant
Toyo for Teams lets connected AI tools use approved company context through MCP. Lindy supports MCP and persistent workspace context too. Evaluate whether you need a teammate's internal context or an explicitly shared context layer across the tools your team already uses.
Credit costs and controls
Lindy pools credits across active users and offers paid top-ups. Toyo publishes personal subscriptions and scopes team work separately. Estimate actual workload, active users and support needs before comparing a credit allowance with a managed engagement.
Setup and support
Toyo
For personal use, sign up and connect the accounts needed for your work. For Toyo for Teams, talk to us to request access and agree the sources, permissions, workflow, price and support scope. Engineer involvement depends on that agreement.
Lindy
Connect Lindy to the sources and tools you want it to use, then configure routines and team access. Review which actions it can take and monitor credit use. Onboarding is listed on its pricing page; ask what is included for your plan and workflow.

Review access and action boundaries
Lindy
Lindy's pricing FAQ says actions with outside impact, such as sending an email or updating a ticket, wait for approval. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM and audit logs. Confirm the approval rules and account permissions for your workflow. Toyo's Slack page says some connected changes can apply immediately, so agree review points rather than assuming the products have identical action boundaries.
Toyo
Toyo's personal pricing page states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest and is not used to train AI models. Teams includes SSO. Agree source permissions and review points before connecting company systems. Some actions in connected tools can apply immediately, so do not assume every action has a separate approval step.
Lindy offers a hosted teammate with routines, workspace context and pooled credits. Toyo combines personal assistance, shared company context for connected AI tools and custom workflows delivered within an agreed engagement. Both support messaging and connected tools.
Is Toyo a Lindy alternative that works over text?

Do I have to build workflows in Toyo?
You do not need to build a personal assistant from scratch. For custom team workflows, Toyo can scope, build and operate the system with you. Engineer work and ongoing support depend on the engagement you agree.
