Switch from Lindy to Task Machine
Lindy handles requests through conversations and recurring routines. Task Machine gives people and agents shared Tasks with plans, review steps and one Inbox for decisions.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Why people switch
-
Fixes need supervision
Three recent Trustpilot reviewers report freezes, repeated mistakes or problems after updates. These are reviewers' experiences, not a measured failure rate.
-
Permissions depend on channel
Lindy's integration guide limits write guardrails to shared Slack threads and excludes web chat, Slack direct messages and texts. Its pricing page makes a broader approval promise, so check the channel before relying on it.
-
Slack use adds seats
Lindy's pricing page says anyone who uses it takes a seat, including someone who mentions it in Slack. Removing a seat leaves it active through the paid cycle, without mid-cycle proration.

| Area | In Lindy | In Task Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks |
In Lindy
Delegate a one-off job in a private message or a Slack channel. Private answers stay with you, while the channel sees work requested there. |
In Task Machine
Every job is a Task that a person or an agent owns. Its plan, discussion, decisions, runs and history stay together when work changes hands. |
| Procedures |
In Lindy
Skills hold named procedures, such as preparing a weekly report. Lindy chooses a skill from its name and description, then loads its instructions when relevant. |
In Task Machine
A Playbook can bundle agents, instructions, documents and a Workflow. Use a Workflow for explicit steps, branches, human questions and verifier checks that return weak results for revision. |
| Recurring work |
In Lindy
Routines combine a trigger, prompt and destination. Schedules or events such as received email, Slack messages and meeting endings can start them. |
In Task Machine
Schedule a Task or Workflow in your timezone, or use a service event to start work. A recurring job keeps one stable root Task and each occurrence's status and history. |
| Approval |
In Lindy
An integration can allow writes, require approval or block writes. In shared Slack threads, Approve permits one action and Always allow changes future permissions. |
In Task Machine
Set each agent's actions to Ask first or Automatic. Decisions arrive in your Inbox with context, and a Human approval step can hold a Workflow before sending a report. |
| Memory |
In Lindy
Personal and team files hold durable knowledge. You can inspect and edit files, read their history and restore earlier versions. Team editing is for owners and admins. |
In Task Machine
Agents keep reusable lessons in Memory, such as an accepted report or a mistake to avoid. You can read, correct and restore notes, and put shared reference material in Library documents. |
| Connections |
In Lindy
Connect personal or team accounts through integrations, Model Context Protocol servers or custom API integrations. A shared connection acts with the connected account's permissions. |
In Task Machine
Install a catalog Connector or configure a custom API, command-line tool or Model Context Protocol connection. Assign it to the agents that need it, with credential access approved separately. |
| Pricing |
In Lindy
Team starts at $49.99 per active user per month, with 5,000 credits per seat pooled across the workspace. Top-ups cost $10 per 1,000 credits. |
In Task Machine
Usage based, from $29 a month before tax. The whole payment becomes usage that your workspace shares, with no base fee. |
A fact we cannot find or cannot check is left out, and prices can change after the date shown. A review summary reports what reviewers wrote and is not our own finding. Task Machine publishes this comparison and is an interested party. Lindy is named only to identify it, and there is no relationship between the two companies. Has something changed? Tell us.
You may stay with Lindy if
You may stay with Lindy if your team wants to keep delegating through Slack. Watch and Learn turns a screen recording or written process into reviewed steps, a skill and a routine. Its Apps can build a shared tracker or request form with saved data. Those are reasons to keep a working setup rather than rebuild it for a different work model.
What you give up
Task Machine's docs do not describe a screen-demonstration teaching flow, a bundled internal-app builder or an importer for Lindy skills and routines. You rebuild the process, reconnect accounts and decide which saved knowledge belongs in shared documents. Keep any generated apps you still depend on separate from the migration.
There is no trial. Your first payment funds usage, and unsuccessful attempts can still consume it. Read Usage and fees before moving a complex routine.
How the switch works
- Before cancelling, check Lindy's export options. Copy the skill instructions and memory files you need, and record each routine's trigger, prompt and destination. Retain original documents and check how to preserve any app's saved records separately from its design.
- Create your workspace. Reconnect the selected job's accounts through Connectors, and upload reference files to the Library. Keep personal and team material in folders with the right access.
- Pick a Playbook for one job, such as a weekly client report, or rebuild its steps in the Workflow builder. Translate the saved instructions into required inputs, expected output and verifier requirements.
- Choose Supervised autonomy and put a Human approval step before sending or publishing. Test with copied inputs and delivery to yourself. Compare drafts and failures in Run history before moving live work.
- Set the schedule and timezone. Toggle off the original Lindy routine before enabling the replacement's live actions, so the two processes do not send or update twice. Lindy's pricing page says cancellation keeps the workspace active through the paid cycle, after which credit-using actions stop.
Common questions
Can I import my Lindy routines and memory?
Check Lindy's export options and retain your own copies. Its Memory guide describes inspectable files and skill instructions. Task Machine's docs do not describe importing Lindy definitions or their version history, so rebuild the job and save reviewed reference material in the Library.
How do the costs compare?
Lindy bills active seats with pooled credits. Task Machine's pricing funds AI work and execution from $29 a month before tax, with no base fee and no trial. Compare the recorded usage of one representative job because the units differ. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut and never custodies your accounts.
Can I keep Lindy while moving one job?
Yes. Start with one report and keep the other work where it is. Lindy lets you turn routines off without removing them, so disable the old job when the replacement is ready rather than running both against live recipients.
Where do approvals go after the switch?
Review decisions in the Inbox. Configure the agent's autonomy and explicit Workflow approval steps before live work. Moving the instructions alone does not move the permission settings.
