# Lindy works through texts and Slack. Kazi adds a hands-free voice app and team projects.

Lindy and Kazi agree on a lot: an assistant that texts you, joins your meetings and runs routines. Kazi adds a native voice app for hands-free conversation and in-person meetings, and projects your team shares.

## Which one is the right answer

### Lindy is the right answer when

You want an assistant that lives in iMessage, SMS and Slack, answers your business phone line as a receptionist and places outbound calls for you.

### Kazi is the right answer when

You want to talk to your assistant hands-free in a native phone app, record in-person meetings with speaker names, and share projects, playbooks and chats across your team.

## How each one works

| | Lindy | Kazi |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where you use it | Slack, email, iMessage and SMS, phone calls, a Chrome extension and web chat. Source: [Lindy docs, iMessage and SMS](https://docs.lindy.ai/features/imessage-sms) | Web, the Kazi Voice app for iPhone and Android, text messages and live meetings. Voice and text share one long-lived personal thread, so the conversation carries on wherever you pick it up. |
| Phone and voice | No mobile app; Lindy works over iMessage, SMS and Slack. It answers inbound calls on its own US number and makes outbound calls to businesses. Source: [Lindy, Phone](https://www.lindy.ai/product/phone) | Kazi Voice (iOS and Android beta) is a personal assistant on your phone: walkie-talkie, dictation or hands-free conversation, and it records and transcribes in-person meetings with speaker names. |
| Solo and team | Anyone on the team can assign work in Slack or email, and credits are pooled across the team. Source: [Lindy, Pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing) | Works for one person or a whole team. Projects hold members with roles; chats, files, subagents and playbooks are shared into a project with view or edit access, and each project's agent has its own access list. |
| Live meetings | Joins Zoom, Meet and Teams as a named participant, captures decisions as they happen, and sends prep briefs and recaps. Source: [Lindy, Meetings](https://www.lindy.ai/product/meetings) | Joins Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, Webex and Slack Huddles, right away or at a set time. During the call it posts in the meeting chat, shares a file or page on screen, reads screen shares and the invite's agenda, and acts on what was said. |
| Recurring work | Routines run daily, weekly or monthly, or on events such as a meeting ending or an email arriving. Source: [Lindy, Routines](https://www.lindy.ai/product/routines) | Scheduled tasks, by clock time or interval, run saved playbooks and can deliver results to a project's members. Subagents take several jobs at once in the background and report back. |
| Approvals | Actions with outside impact, such as sending email, wait for approval; read-only lookups do not. Source: [Lindy, Pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing) | You set each connection to Only read or Can update, one at a time, and the platform enforces it: a change through a read-only connection stops to ask you when Ask Mode is on, and does not run at all otherwise. |
| Pricing | Free with $50 of credits for 7 days; Team from $29.99 per active user a month for 3,000 credits; Enterprise custom. Source: [Lindy, Pricing](https://www.lindy.ai/pricing) | 14-day free trial with 5 credits, no card. Then $19.99 a month for 50 credits; one credit covers a meeting session of up to 45 minutes. Extra credits from $3.50, or bring your own model API key. |
