Pick Lindy if

The job centres on one person's inbox, calendar and meetings. Lindy records and preps meetings, drafts replies in your voice, connects up to five inboxes, reaches you over iMessage, and ships computer use and MCP support on every plan. Okou does not do meeting recording at all.

Pick Okou if

You want several shared agents with different jobs and permissions, workflows your team can reuse, and a free plan to try before choosing member packages.

Where the two actually differ

Both are Slack-native, run scheduled routines, keep persistent workspace context, build in approvals, and let you choose the model. Those are not rows, because they are not differences.

What you are actually choosing between

Plan fees and member packages

Lindy bills each user a seat. Okou Pro has a $0 plan fee plus a $20–$200 monthly credit package for every member; Team adds a $160 monthly plan fee. Adding members changes the total on both products. Compare package sizes and actual usage as well as head count.

Several agents, not one assistant

Lindy gives each person an assistant with a shared skill library behind it. Okou gives the workspace seven shared agents plus unlimited private ones, each with its own description, tone, avatar and connector grants — so an agent that can read Stripe cannot touch the CRM, because it was never given it.

You can try it without a card

Lindy has no free plan: teammates who arrive through Slack get seven days, and direct signups are billed immediately. Okou's Free plan is 1,000 credits with no card and no sales call, which is enough to run a real job end to end before deciding.

Where Lindy is the better tool

Meetings are a whole product here: Recording and notes across your calls, scheduling, prep and follow-up, and a shared meeting library with folders and version history. Okou does none of this.
It is model agnostic too: Lindy ships model selection across most major models on every plan, so choosing the model is not a reason to pick us over them.
Inbox work is its centre of gravity: Autonomous triage, drafts written in your voice, daily briefs, nudges and catch-ups, and up to five connected inboxes on every plan.
It reaches you outside the browser: iMessage with your assistant around the clock. Okou is available on the web, Slack, Telegram, and phone/SMS.
Integration count is higher: Thousands of integrations plus MCP support to connect anything else, against our 3,000+ first-party connectors.

Okou

Plan fee plus a monthly credit package for each member

Free: $0 · 1,000 credits, valid for 30 days
Pro: $0 plan fee + $20–$200/mo per member
Team: $160/mo plan fee + $20–$200/mo per member; from $180/mo

$20 / $50 / $100 / $200 monthly member packages add 20,400 / 52,600 / 108,700 / 222,200 shared credits respectively. Monthly credits expire at renewal; purchased credits never expire. Paid plans can top up or use auto-recharge.

Lindy

Per user, per month

Plus: $29.99/user · 3,000 credits
Pro: $99.99/user · 15,000 credits
Max: $199.99/user · 35,000 credits
Enterprise: Custom
Rollover: None; credits reset each cycle

Every seat's allowance flows into one shared workspace pool, and admins can set allocations per seat. When the pool runs out Lindy pauses rather than billing overage. Enterprise adds HIPAA with a signed BAA, audit logs and dedicated support.

Okou vs Lindy FAQ

Does Lindy have a free plan?

No. Teammates who join through Slack get a 7-day trial before the seat is billed, and direct signups are billed right away. Okou's Free plan is 1,000 credits with no card.

How does Okou bill a growing team?

Each member on Okou Pro or Team needs a monthly credit package. Five Pro members on the $20 package cost $100 per month before top-ups. Team adds a $160 monthly plan fee to the member packages.

Which one lets me pick the model?

Both offer model selection. In Okou, choose a model per chat; Auto is the system default. Availability follows the current catalog, plan, workspace policy and selected provider. Eligible personal Claude or Codex subscriptions can be connected on Free and paid plans.

Can Okou handle inbox triage the way Lindy does?

Gmail triage, drafting and writing structured rows to a sheet are among the workflows Okou runs on a trigger. What Okou does not do is record and summarise your meetings, which is a core part of what Lindy sells.

Which is cheaper?

At the listed monthly rates, five Lindy Plus users cost $149.95. Five Okou Pro members on the $20 package cost $100 before top-ups and add 102,000 shared monthly credits. Credit units differ between products, so compare the same real workload. Okou top-ups cost $1 per 1,000 credits.

Also compare Okou with Viktor, Claude Tag, Claude Cowork and ChatGPT Work and Codex.
