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.

Roles and access you can separate

Lindy offers shared workspace context and skills. Okou offers named shared or private agents with distinct instructions and connector grants, so the marketing and finance procedures can have different access. Each member supplies their own connected accounts.

Compare the free allowances

Lindy now offers $50 in free credits, valid for seven days, without a credit card. Okou Free includes 1,000 credits valid for 30 days. These credits are different units, so compare a completed job rather than the headline balances.

Where Lindy may fit better

Native meeting capture: Lindy records meetings and provides notes, prep, scheduling and follow-up in a shared meeting library. Okou can work with supplied or connected transcripts, but does not advertise its own meeting recorder.
Model choice on both products: Lindy advertises model selection for each task. Okou also lets you choose from available models, so model choice alone is not a reason to switch.
Inbox work is central: Lindy lists triage, drafts in your voice, daily briefs and catch-ups, with two to five inboxes depending on plan. Verify the package for your account.
It reaches you outside the browser: iMessage with your assistant around the clock. Okou is available on the web, Slack, Telegram, and phone/SMS.
Custom tools through MCP: Lindy advertises 1,500+ integrations and MCP support. Okou lists 4,000+ connectors. Compare coverage of your actual tools and actions; neither headline count proves that a particular workflow is supported.
