Lindy alternative: Ezail for teams that work in email and chat apps

Last checked November 13, 2026. Both products change often, so check each site before you buy.

Lindy and Ezail are both AI assistants that work inside your email, calendar and company tools. Lindy is built around Slack and texting. Ezail lives where you already talk: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams and email, including a team address you simply Cc. If your team works in Slack and wants thousands of integrations, Lindy is a strong pick. If your work happens over email and messaging apps, or you want one flat price for the whole team, look at Ezail.

Lindy at a glance

Lindy calls itself "the AI employee that plugs into your tools, learns how you work, and takes real work off your plate." Its main product, Lindy Teammate, launched in August 2026.

• Where you use it: a private assistant in your Slack DMs and a shared one you @mention in Slack channels. You can also text your personal Lindy over iMessage or SMS. Microsoft Teams is listed as coming soon.
• What it does: inbox management and replies, scheduling, meeting prep and notes, follow-ups, phone calls, routines and memory of your clients and preferences.
• Integrations: more than 3,000 apps, plus MCP servers.
• Security: SOC 2 Type II. HIPAA with a signed BAA on the Enterprise plan.
• Price: $29.99 per seat per month for 3,000 credits each, with larger credit tiers per seat. A free trial gives $50 of credits for 7 days. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Ezail at a glance

Ezail is an AI colleague you text, or Cc on email. It connects to Gmail or Outlook and Google or Microsoft Calendar.

• Where you use it: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email and the web. Nothing to install.
• Your own assistant: answers and drafts email (you approve every draft before it goes out), runs your calendar, makes phone calls, sets reminders and recurring tasks, reads voice notes, photos and files, and keeps projects up to date.
• Your team's assistant: every team gets its own address, like ai+yourteam@ezail.com. Cc it on a thread and it does the work in the team's tools (Notion, Linear or any MCP server), then replies to everyone on the team. It has its own memory, files and connectors, and never sees a member's personal inbox.
• Security: CASA Tier 2 certified through the App Defense Alliance.
• Price: from $9 a month per person. The Team plan is $499 a month with unlimited members. Every plan starts with 7 free days.

Side by side

When Lindy is the better choice

• Your team runs on Slack and wants its assistant in Slack channels.
• You need a SOC 2 Type II vendor or a HIPAA BAA.
• You rely on a long tail of apps that only a 3,000-integration catalogue covers.

When Ezail is the better choice

• You work over email with clients. Cc your team's Ezail address on a thread and the reply goes to everyone on the team. No one has to open Slack to bring the assistant in.
• You use WhatsApp, Telegram or Microsoft Teams. Lindy doesn't chat on WhatsApp or Telegram, and its Teams support is not out yet.
• Your team is growing. Lindy charges per seat, so 20 people cost about $600 a month before extra credits. Ezail's Team plan is $499 a month however many people join.
• You want to start small. A single person can start on Ezail for $9 a month.

Pricing compared

Lindy bills each active user $29.99 a month for 3,000 credits, pooled across the team. Monthly credits don't roll over, and top-ups cost $10 per 1,000 credits.

Ezail plans are Go ($9 a month), Plus ($19), Pro ($199) and Team ($499, unlimited members). Each plan's price comes back as credits for the work Ezail does, at cost. Teammates on personal plans can already use the team address, and each pays for the work they ask for. With the Team plan, the team's credits pay for everything the team assistant does.

Good to know

Can I move from Lindy to Ezail? Yes. Connect your Gmail or Outlook account and calendar, say hello on the app you use, and create a team in your account to get the team address.

Does Ezail send email without asking? No. Ezail shows you every draft first, and on a team a member approves each email before it goes out.
