- Both put an AI teammate inside Slack that finishes work rather than drafting suggestions. Lindy also ships a Microsoft Teams meeting bot; Bob's Teams surface is in early access.
- Lindy lists 1,000+ integrations on its own site (with over 1,400 shown in its connector browser); Bob lists 3,200+.
- Lindy prices per seat: $29.99 to $199.99/month per person, each seat's credits feeding one shared workspace pool.
- Bob is one workspace fee from $99/month, no per-seat charge, plus a compact receipt on every completed run, a hard monthly spend cap, free reruns when a run is Bob's fault, and Enterprise deployment inside your own VPC.
- If your team is small and you like paying per person, look hard at Lindy's per-seat math against Bob's shared pool before you commit.
What Lindy is
Lindy is an AI teammate that works inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, iMessage, and the browser. It lists 1,000+ integrations, supports MCP servers, and can build custom integrations or drive a computer directly. Pricing is per seat, from $29.99/month for 3,000 credits up to $199.99/month for 35,000, with every seat's allocation feeding one shared team pool. New teammates who join through Slack get seven days free before their seat is billed.
What Bob is
Bob connects to 3,200+ apps and works across them from Slack, with Microsoft Teams in early access. Every run executes in its own sandboxed cloud computer, external writes pause for an Approve/Deny button by default, and every completed task posts a compact receipt with total credits, duration, and tool-call count. Workspaces can set a hard monthly spend cap with a warning at 80%, reruns caused by Bob's mistakes are free, and Enterprise customers can deploy Bob inside their own VPC.
What Bob connects to
An AI employee is only as useful as the systems it can reach. If the work lives in a tool Bob cannot open, you are back to copying and pasting, and the whole promise collapses. So the answer has to be boring and complete: Bob reaches 3,200+ apps, and connecting one takes a sentence in Slack and a sign-in.
Ask in the channel ("connect HubSpot"), Bob posts a Connect button, you sign in once on the hosted page, and that connection is ready for every run after it. Personal tools like Gmail, Google Calendar, HubSpot, and Linear connect per person, so a request runs against your row in the CRM and your inbox, under your own role, not a shared service account's.
| What your team runs | Apps Bob works in (examples) |
|---|---|
| CRM and pipeline | HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive |
| Inbox and calendar | Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook |
| Docs and spreadsheets | Google Sheets, Google Drive, Notion, Microsoft Excel |
| Tickets and projects | Jira, Linear, Asana, ClickUp, monday |
| Support queues | Zendesk, Intercom, Front |
| Money and billing | Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero |
| Storefront | Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce |
| Code and incidents | GitHub, GitLab, Sentry |
| Meetings and signatures | Zoom, Google Meet, Docusign, Calendly |
The catalog is the shortcut, not the ceiling. If your tool is not in it, Bob can work through its API, through an MCP server, or through the same browser your team uses, and for a core internal system we can build the connection. The full list is on the integrations page.
Per seat, or one workspace pool?
Lindy charges by the seat. Add a fifth teammate and you add a fifth subscription, from $29.99 to $199.99 a month depending on tier, and that seat's credits pour into one shared pool the whole team draws from. It is a familiar SaaS shape, and it means your bill grows in lockstep with headcount whether or not that headcount is running Lindy hard.
Bob charges the workspace, not the person. One subscription buys a credit volume the whole team shares, so adding a teammate who mostly reads Bob's answers in a channel costs nothing extra. The number we optimize is value per credit: a receipt on every run so waste is visible the moment it happens, a hard monthly spend cap you set, and free reruns when a run failed because Bob got it wrong.
Side by side
Which one should you pick?
Pick Lindy if…
- You want Teams meeting recording and follow-up summaries out of the box.
- Your team is small enough that per-seat pricing stays cheap, and you like tuning credit allocation seat by seat.
- You want to edit an agent's memory directly as a plain file.
Pick Bob if…
- You'd rather pay once for the workspace than add a subscription per teammate.
- You want a receipt on every finished task, not just a shared pool that pauses when it runs dry.
- You want a hard cap on monthly spend, enforced, not a per-seat allocation to manage by hand.
- You need Bob deployed inside your own VPC.
- You'd rather onboard with the founder than a queue.
Either way: an AI employee in your channel beats a chatbot in a tab. The category is right; pick the pricing and accountability model you can live with.
Switching?
Early customers switching from another AI-employee platform get the credits remaining on their existing commitment matched, and Bob performs the migration itself during onboarding: it reads your recurring tasks and playbooks and rebuilds them in your workspace.
Fair questions
Is Bob a good Lindy alternative?
Yes, if what you want is a Slack-first team employee rather than a per-seat automation builder. Both connect to a large app catalog and both gate risky actions behind approval. Bob is the stronger fit when cost visibility per task and a hard workspace spend ceiling matter, and when you need Enterprise deployment inside your own VPC.
How is Bob's pricing different from Lindy's?
Lindy is priced per seat: $29.99/month for 3,000 credits, $99.99/month for 15,000, or $199.99/month for 35,000, each seat's allocation feeding one shared pool that pauses when it runs dry. Bob is one workspace fee from $99/month for 2,000 shared credits, with the per-1,000 rate improving as volume grows, and no per-seat charge. Enterprise pricing on both sides is custom.
Can I switch from Lindy to Bob?
Yes, see above. Credit match on your remaining commitment for early customers, and agent-led migration of your recurring tasks.
Does Bob support Microsoft Teams like Lindy does?
Both offer a Microsoft Teams surface. Lindy's is built around joining and summarizing Teams meetings; Bob's is in early access and Slack is where Bob is most mature today.
Do Bob's credits expire?
Unused plan credits roll over one month before expiring, and one-off top-up packs never expire. Trial credits ($100 in value, no card required) last 14 days. Lindy's plan credits do not roll over between billing cycles; purchased top-up credits do not expire.
