Does Lindy support bring your own API keys?

Lindy offers model selection but does not document BYO API keys. What Lindy's docs say, how Lindy bills AI usage instead, and tools that allow BYOK.

Not as documented. Lindy offers model selection but doesn't describe a way to bring your own API keys. You pay Lindy, and Lindy handles the AI. If paying your provider directly matters to you, check the alternatives below.

Why this matters

Bring-your-own-key means you pay the AI provider directly at cost instead of a markup through the product. You see the real cost, choose the model, and switch providers without changing tools.

Lindy lets you pick between models, but the billing goes through Lindy, not through your own account. That's model selection, not BYO keys.

What Lindy says

"Lindy offers model selection across its platform."

How to check

  1. Look for a field in Lindy's settings where you paste your own API key.
  2. If there's no such field, the AI cost is bundled into what you pay Lindy.
