lilAgents or Lindy?

Both can make an AI agent ask before it acts. The difference is who does the building, the watching, and the teaching.

Question	Lindy	lilAgents
What it costs	Free for 7 days with $50 in credits. Team from $29.99 a month per active user, with 3,000 credits each; extra credits are $10 per 1,000. Enterprise is custom.	Sign month one; if it isn't earning its keep within 14 days, cancel and pay nothing. Then a fixed price per automation, agreed up front, and one flat monthly fee for supervision. Software is billed to your own accounts at cost.
Asking before it acts	Yes. Each integration can be set to Always allow, Require approval, or Don't offer, and Lindy asks in the Slack thread before it writes. Lindy's docs say these guardrails apply in shared Slack threads only, not in its web chat, Slack DMs, or texts.	Built in. Anything with outside impact waits for a person, and a person on our team checks the work. For the first week, they check every write.
Setting it up	Self-serve, and quick to start. New Slack installs need a paid Slack plan. Lindy offers live onboarding and free group onboarding sessions.	Done for you, in your own accounts. If you leave, it keeps running.
Help and training	Email support, with dedicated support on Enterprise, plus ready-made templates and a library of use cases.	A person on our team you can reach by name, and regular check-ins where we teach your team how it works.
If you stop paying	It runs in Lindy's cloud. When you cancel, your workspace stays active through the cycle you paid for, then credit-using actions stop.	Everything runs in accounts in your name, so it keeps running. We remove our access and hand you a one-page runbook of what runs where.

Questions.

Is lilAgents an alternative to Lindy?

For some teams. Lindy is software you set up and run yourself. lilAgents is a team that sets up AI agents in your accounts, supervises them, and teaches your team how they work, so it's the alternative when you'd rather not be the one building and watching the agents.

Can Lindy ask for approval before it acts?

Yes. Each integration can be set to Always allow, Require approval, or Don't offer. With Require approval, Lindy asks in the Slack thread, and the person who asked or a workspace admin approves or denies. Lindy's docs say these guardrails apply in shared Slack threads only, not in its web chat, Slack DMs, or texts. Checked October 28, 2026.

Which is cheaper?

Lindy, if you count only the software: its Team plan starts at $29.99 a month for each active user. With lilAgents you're paying for people too: the build, a person checking the work, upkeep, and teaching your team. You sign month one, and if it isn't earning its keep within 14 days, you cancel and pay nothing.
