The detail
The differences that decide it.
Scope
A personal assistant, or a shared coworker.
Patricia is one coworker for the whole company. Anyone mentions her in Slack and she executes in your connected tools: campaigns, content, CRM updates, reports, follow-ups, back-office chores. Nothing to provision per person, nothing to assemble first, and every publish, send, or spend waits for a yes.
Lindy relaunched February 10, 2026 as a personal executive assistant, and a genuinely good one: Gmail or Outlook connects in under a minute, the meeting recorder covers Meet, Zoom, and Teams, and the daily brief is well made. Team workflows live in the agent builder; you build them yourself.
Pricing
One workspace price, or per-user bills that compound.
Patricia is $45 a month for the whole workspace: 20,000 credits included, every seat free. Five people or fifteen, the price does not move; credits meter the work, not the headcount. Start free with 7,500 credits and no card; only finished work counts, so retries cost nothing.
Lindy bills per user, sized by inboxes: Plus $49.99 a month, Pro $99.99, Max $199.99, month to month only. The 2026 repricing, its second in about twelve months, removed the free plan; a 7-day trial remains. Its pricing page anchors against an $8,000 a month human assistant, fair framing for a personal EA. For a team it compounds: five people on Pro is $500 a month before overages.
Cost predictability
What happens when the credits run out.
A hard spend cap is on by default: you set the ceiling and Patricia never spends past it. Credits roll over, retries are free, and only finished work is charged. The bill is a setting, not a mid-month discovery.
Lindy meters everything in credits: one to three per basic task, around ten on advanced models; allowances no longer published, only 3x and 7x multipliers. At quota agents pause mid-cycle, or overages bill at 2x; unused credits do not roll over. Reviewers describe the credit system as a black box. Cost tops Lindy's G2 complaint list: 42 mentions of expensive, 35 of subscription cost. Its Trustpilot sits at 1.7 on billing and cancellation complaints, most answered by the company.
Ready, or build it yourself
A ready coworker, or agents you assemble.
Patricia arrives ready: connect your tools, describe the job in plain Slack messages, approve what goes out. No triggers to wire, no loops to debug. The teammate who is not a tinkerer gets the same coworker as the one who is.
Lindy's builder is genuinely flexible: triggers, conditions, loops, knowledge bases, human-in-the-loop, computer use on Pro and up. Flexibility is work: the learning curve draws 21 G2 mentions, and one paying customer documented a 14-item bug list including failed triggers and loops that burned credits while broken. A toolkit for tinkerers; a project if you wanted a coworker.
When Lindy wins
Where Lindy is the better pick.
Patricia is the better fit when the job is one shared coworker: work executed in your tools, a yes before anything ships, one workspace price that ignores headcount, and a free start with no card. If that is your problem's shape, this is why teams pick her.
Lindy is the stronger choice for a founder or exec wanting a personal EA on their own inbox and calendar, and it lives in iMessage and SMS. Strong meeting stack, fast onboarding, a flexible builder for tinkerers, HIPAA with a BAA on Enterprise, 4.9 on G2 across roughly 171 reviews.

Common questions
Patricia vs Lindy, answered.
Is Patricia a Lindy alternative?
Yes, for teams. Lindy relaunched in 2026 as a personal AI executive assistant for one person's email, calendar, and meetings, priced per user. Patricia is the Lindy alternative a whole team can share: one ready coworker in Slack executing marketing, sales, ops, and finance work in your tools, every seat included at one workspace price. Start free with 7,500 credits and no card.
Is Patricia cheaper than Lindy for a team?
Usually, and the gap grows with headcount. Lindy starts at $49.99 per user per month, Pro is $99.99 and Max $199.99, so five people on Pro is $500 a month before overages. Patricia is $45 a month for the whole workspace, 20,000 credits included, every seat free. Only finished work is charged, retries are free, and credits roll over instead of expiring.
What happens when the credits run out?
On Lindy, agents pause at quota mid-cycle unless you enable overages, which bill at twice the rate, and unused credits do not roll over. On Patricia, a hard spend cap is on by default: you set the ceiling, credits roll over, and only finished work is charged. One bill is a discovery; the other is a setting.
Can Patricia replace Lindy as a personal assistant?
Partly. Patricia takes meeting notes and runs the follow-up in Slack, but she is a shared coworker for a team, not a personal assistant on one person's inbox. If the job is triaging your own email and calendar over iMessage, Lindy is built for exactly that and does it well. If the job is the team's work, that is Patricia.
Are Patricia and Lindy both SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. Both hold SOC 2 Type II, so treat security certification as parity, not an edge either way. Lindy additionally offers HIPAA with a BAA on Enterprise and states it does not train on customer data, which matters in healthcare. The real differences are scope and pricing, not certificates.
When should I still choose Lindy?
When you want a personal executive assistant rather than a team coworker, when iMessage or SMS is your home channel, when you enjoy building agents, or when you need HIPAA with a BAA. For the personal job Lindy was rebuilt around, it is genuinely good. Patricia is the better fit when a whole team wants one ready coworker at one predictable price.
Everybody deserves a Patricia.
