Frequently asked questions
When should I choose Spinnable over Lindy?
Choose Spinnable when you want the outcome without the assembly: an AI employee that owns a role, has its own email address and phone number, remembers your business across everything it does, and reports unprompted. Hiring takes about 60 seconds and there are no flows to build or maintain.
When does Lindy make more sense than Spinnable?
If you enjoy building and tuning custom agent flows, need a very specific micro-automation, or want to test an idea quickly on the 7-day trial, Lindy's builder and template gallery are genuinely good. It rewards people who like assembling things.
How does pricing compare?
Lindy starts at $49.99/month after a 7-day free trial, with higher tiers sold as usage multiples and task credits metering every action, so cost scales with how much your agents run. Spinnable is a flat subscription, Basic at $50/month, Standard at $149/month, Premium at $399/month, with a 15-day free trial, so a productive month never raises the bill.
How does setup compare?
Lindy is fast to start thanks to templates, and custom agents still need flow design and prompt tuning. Spinnable takes about 60 seconds: describe the role in plain English the way you would brief a new hire, connect tools with one-click OAuth, done. No builder to learn.
Do Lindy agents remember things like Spinnable workers do?
Lindy has memory features scoped to each agent, so context lives Lindy by Lindy. Spinnable workers hold one persistent memory of your business across all their work, and it sharpens with every task and correction rather than fragmenting across agents.
Can a Lindy talk to my customers directly?
Lindies can process and send email and connect to chat tools, but they do not come with their own colleague-style identity. Spinnable workers each get their own email address and phone number, so customers can write to them, reply to them, and know them by name.
How do integrations compare?
Lindy exposes thousands of app actions through its catalog, a real breadth advantage for builders. Spinnable connects 50+ business tools through managed one-click OAuth, Google Workspace, Outlook, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce and more, scoped per worker and maintained by the platform.
Which is more autonomous?
Lindies run when triggered, with AI inside the flow you designed. Spinnable workers own outcomes: they plan follow-ups, start conversations, run their own schedules, and report results without being asked, with a human approval gate available for anything with external impact.
What about privacy and security?
Both are managed cloud platforms. Spinnable adds a contractual no-training DPA, zero-data-retention AI subprocessors, EU-hosted encrypted backups, GDPR coverage with SCCs, per-worker OAuth scoping, and SOC 2 Type II in progress.
Can I use Lindy and Spinnable together?
Yes. Some teams keep a few Lindies for narrow micro-automations they enjoyed building while Spinnable workers carry the real roles: outreach, inbox, support, reporting. They do not conflict, and Spinnable workers join your existing tools as ordinary members.
