Our take
Pick Lindy if ops and GTM teams who already work in Slack and will burn a shared credit pool. Pick n8n if technical ops, DevOps, and automation engineers who need to connect SaaS apps, internal APIs, and LLM tools — especially teams that want self-host / data residency. Skip n8n if someone who only wants a chat window, or a non-technical team that will not maintain credentials, executions, or a Docker host.
