Comparison
UtilitySpaces vs Lindy
We build UtilitySpaces, so read this as a comparison written by an interested party. Everything below about Lindy is quoted or paraphrased from Lindy’s own pages, each one linked, and read on 17 August 2026. Lindy has a real human-approval capability — anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something. The differences that matter are what is on by default, what a plan includes, and what you are billed for.
What each one is
Lindy. “Your next hire is AI.” — an AI teammate that lives in Slack, knows what the company knows, and does the work for the whole team. (source)
UtilitySpaces. An agentic workspace for teams: a chat-first inbox where people and AI agents work in the same threads, agents with scoped access to the applications you already use, and a write to any of them waiting for a person unless an admin has set that connector to run without asking.
Compared, attribute by attribute
| UtilitySpaces | Lindy | |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Managed service only. The source is not public and there is no self-hosted option. | Cloud SaaS. No self-hosting, on-premise or VPC deployment is published, and no source licence is claimed. (source) |
| Billed by | Per workspace, monthly. No per-seat charge and no credit meter. Agent tasks our hosted brain runs are capped per month; work on a brain of your own is neither counted nor capped. | Per seat, plus credits that pool across the workspace. Credits do not roll over and overage is charged at twice the normal credit rate. (source) |
| Published prices | Starter $29/month, Team $79/month, Business $249/month. Enterprise is scoped and priced around your workload inside a published band of $499–$4,999/month. Pay by card and it renews monthly until you cancel, or settle each month's invoice yourself. | Plus $29.99/user/month with 3,000 credits; Pro $99.99 with 15,000; Max $199.99 with 35,000; Enterprise by quotation, adding audit logs, SSO, and HIPAA with a signed BAA. (source) |
| Free tier | A demo workspace: the whole product for about an hour, no card and no call — and creating an account from it keeps the workspace at demo limits until you choose a plan. | No free plan. A one-time seven-day trial per person. (source) |
| What happens when an agent writes | Reads run unattended. A write waits for a person by default — that is what every new connection gets — and only a workspace admin can set a connector to run without asking, a change that is itself logged. Deletes always wait for a person, and every call — allowed or refused — is logged. An unrecognised tool is treated as a write, so the policy fails closed by default. | Stated on the pricing page as the default: “Will Lindy do anything without my approval? No. Anything with outside impact waits for approval.” The documentation describes it as a per-action confirmation toggle you enable for actions with side effects. Both are Lindy's own words and a fair reading needs both. (source) |
| Integrations | 80 connectors, plus a generic HTTP connector and any MCP server. | “1,000+ integrations” on the home page; the integrations page shows “1400+”. Native OAuth and API-key connectors, plus any MCP server. (source) |
| Audit log | On every workspace, on every plan. SHA-256 hash-chained with a verification pass, so tampering is detectable rather than merely discouraged. | Listed as an Enterprise feature — “Every action Lindy takes is logged.” No dedicated documentation page for it could be found. (source) |
Lindy’s pricing and features read from their own pages on 17 August 2026. Pricing pages move; if a figure here is stale, tell us and we will correct it. Our own prices and connector count are read from the running product rather than typed, so they cannot drift from what you are actually charged.
Choose Lindy if
- You want a genuinely large connector library. 1,400-plus against our 76 is not a gap we are going to close, and if your stack is unusual Lindy probably already speaks to it.
- You live in Slack and want the agent to be a participant in threads rather than a separate application anyone has to adopt.
- You want meeting recording, scheduling, inbox triage and drafting bundled in rather than assembled.
- You need HIPAA with a signed BAA, or SOC 2 Type II. Lindy publishes both; we have neither.
- Approval by default on connector writes as a stated product default matters to you and you want it from a company with more track record than ours.
Choose UtilitySpaces if
- Per-seat billing is the wrong shape. In Lindy, @mentioning the agent in Slack creates a billable seat; our price is per workspace.
- You want the audit log without an Enterprise contract, and you want it hash-chained so that tampering is detectable rather than merely discouraged.
- Credit metering with 2x overage is a cost model you do not want to manage.
- You want to try the whole product before paying anything. Lindy has no free plan; our demo workspace is the full product with no card.
Where UtilitySpaces is behind, whichever product you compare
This list is the same on every comparison page on this site, so that no single rival gets a softer version of it.
- No SOC 2 Type II and no ISO 27001. We have not been audited, and we do not have a date for it. Dust and Lindy both publish SOC 2 Type II. If a certificate is a procurement requirement, this is a real reason to buy elsewhere and we would rather you found that out here.
- Far fewer integrations. 76 connectors against Lindy's 1,400-plus and n8n's 2,000-plus. A generic HTTP connector and any MCP server cover a great deal of the gap, and they do not close it.
- Not self-hostable. n8n can run entirely on your hardware; UtilitySpaces is a managed service and the source is not public.
- SSO is OIDC only — no SAML and no SCIM. Dust and Lindy both offer SSO on their higher tiers, and Dust also publishes SCIM provisioning.
- We are new, with no public customer list and no case studies — because inventing them is the one thing we will not do. There is a free demo instead, which is the only honest substitute for a track record.

The cheapest way to settle this is not to read about it. Open a demo workspace, connect one app, and give an agent one real job.
