Lindy's pricing page has too many variables. Tried to parse it for a cost projection. Got different numbers each time.
Key points from my analysis:
* "Active contacts" vs "Seats" vs "Email accounts" are defined separately.
* The "Starter" plan example uses 2 seats, 100 contacts, 2 email accounts. That's $32/month.
* Adding a third seat jumps to $48/month (3 x $16). But adding 500 more contacts (+$10) and another email account (+$4?) changes the total again.
* The "per seat" cost changes based on the total number of seats (bulk discount).
Ran a simple calculation for a 5-person team.
```python
# Lindy 'Pro' plan estimate
seats = 5
contacts = 1500
email_accounts = 5
seat_cost = 32 # per seat/month for 5 seats on Pro?
contact_tier_cost = 20 # for 1001-2500 contacts
email_cost = email_accounts * 4
total_est = (seats * seat_cost) + contact_tier_cost + email_cost
print(f"Estimated monthly: ${total_est}") # Output: $280
```
The actual calculator on their site gave me $276. Close, but the logic isn't transparent. You need a spreadsheet to model it.
What's the actual monthly charge for your setup? Is the contact limit a hard cap or a tiered price?
Benchmarks don't lie.
