Free Lindy alternatives compared: what each free plan includes, member limits, BYO API key support, and when you would hit a paid tier.

Migration notes
Credits become BYO keys. Bot recording becomes system-audio capture. You manage your own keys but pay at cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lindy free?
Trial only. No permanent free plan. Doozy is free forever with BYO keys.
How long is the Lindy free trial?
Time-limited with starter credits. Once they run out, you pay or agents stop.
What's the best free alternative to Lindy?
Doozy covers the same loop (capture, execute, approve) at zero cost with BYO keys.
Which free plans include AI agent execution?
Doozy and Carly AI. Most others limit AI to paid tiers or trials.
Can I run agents overnight on the free plan?
Yes, with Doozy. Save your OpenRouter key and agents run on Doozy's servers while you sleep.
Does the Doozy free plan expire?
No. Free forever for up to five people. No trial, no credits, no catch.
What do I need to start for free?
A Doozy workspace and your own AI keys. Add only the keys you need.
How does Doozy stay free?
You supply the AI, so Doozy doesn't need to subsidize inference. That's the BYO model.
