The 5 best Lindy AI alternatives
Best Lindy AI alternative if your team already works in ChatGPT
01ChatGPT agents
Shared agents built into ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu.
- Best for
- Companies on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu that want shared agents in ChatGPT and Slack
- Strengths
- No new app for teams that already use ChatGPT. Agents run from ChatGPT, from Slack, on a schedule or through an API.
- Pricing
- ChatGPT Business is $20 per user a month billed yearly, or $25 monthly, with at least 2 seats. A Premium seat is $100 a month billed yearly. Agent runs draw on a shared allowance first, then credits, and OpenAI says a typical run uses 5 to 25. Enterprise pricing is through sales.
- Hosting and data
- OpenAI offers data residency to new Enterprise and Edu customers, but workspace agents are not on its list of in-scope features. We found no self-hosting.

- ChatGPT and Slack, where each agent gets a handle on the shared ChatGPT Agents app. Workspace agents are not in Microsoft Teams, where OpenAI offers a separate @ChatGPT bot. They have no email address and do not join calls.
- Compared with Lindy
- Both bill per person. ChatGPT agents work in ChatGPT and Slack, while Lindy also works in your own inbox and its notetaker joins calls.
