Lindy free trial: when does billing start and how do I cancel before I’m charged?

Your free trial should feel like a safety net, not a trap. If you’re testing Lindy and want to know exactly when billing starts—and how to cancel before you’re charged—here’s the clear, no-drama breakdown.

How the Lindy free trial works

Lindy offers a 7-day free trial so you can see if getting two hours back every day is real for you, not just a headline.

During the trial, you can:

Connect your inbox, calendar, and tools
Let Lindy start drafting emails and managing scheduling
Try iMessage/SMS workflows and no-code agents
Decide if “AI that actually does stuff” fits how you work

No long sales calls. No commitment. Just a week of seeing if your inbox feels lighter.

When does Lindy start billing after the free trial?

Billing does not start during your free trial. You won’t be charged just for signing up and trying Lindy.

Here’s the typical flow:

Day 0: Start your 7-day free trial
- You enter your info and create your account.
- Depending on the plan or promo, you may be asked for payment details up front, but you’re not charged yet.
Days 1–7: Use Lindy for free
- Lindy proactively manages your inbox, helps with meetings, and you get full access to try it in your real workflows.
- This is when you decide if “two hours back every day” is actually happening.
End of Day 7: Trial ends
- If you do nothing and your trial is tied to a paid plan with payment on file, your first paid period begins automatically when the trial ends.
- If your trial doesn’t require a card up front (some promos or free tiers), your account will either:
  - Roll onto the free plan, or
  - Prompt you to choose a paid plan if you want continued premium usage.

Key point: billing starts after the 7-day free trial ends, not at signup.

Will I be charged automatically at the end of my free trial?

In most cases, yes—if you:

Started a trial that required a credit card, and
Do not cancel before the trial ends

Then your subscription renews automatically at the plan price, and your card is charged at the start of the first paid term (e.g., monthly or annual, depending on what you selected).

If you:

Did not add a payment method, or
Started on a completely free tier

Then you won’t suddenly get billed out of nowhere. You’ll have to actively choose and confirm a paid plan before any charges occur.

How to cancel Lindy before you’re charged

If you’re still inside your 7-day free trial and want to cancel before billing kicks in, you have two options:

Option 1: Cancel from your account (recommended)

The exact UI can change as the product evolves, but the flow is generally:

Log in to your Lindy account.
Go to Settings or Billing / Subscription.
Find your Current plan or Manage subscription section.
Click Cancel subscription (or similar wording).
Confirm the cancellation.

Once canceled:

Your paid plan will not renew.
If you’re still in the trial, you’ll avoid being charged at the end.
You may keep access until the trial expires, depending on the configuration at the time.

Option 2: Cancel by contacting Lindy support

If you prefer talking to a human (or you can’t find the right button):

Email: support@lindy.ai
Phone: +1 (415) 915-7238

When you reach out, include:

The email address tied to your Lindy account
A short note like: “Please cancel my free trial before it converts to a paid subscription.”

Support can help confirm cancellation or resolve any billing confusion.

What if I forget to cancel before the trial ends?

Here’s the important part from Lindy’s terms:

All purchases are non-refundable. You can cancel at any time, but your cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid term.

Translated into plain language:

If your trial rolls into a paid period, that first paid term is non-refundable under standard policy.
You can still cancel anytime, but you’ll:
- Keep access until the end of the current billing cycle, and
- Not be charged again after that.

If something went wrong (e.g., you thought you canceled, or the system behaved unexpectedly), it’s still worth reaching out:

Email support@lindy.ai
Explain the situation and timing clearly
The team can review your account and help from there

How to confirm you won’t be charged

If you’re risk-averse and want to be 100% sure:

Check your Billing page
- Confirm your plan shows as Canceled, Downgraded, or Ends on [date] rather than “Renews on…”
Look for a confirmation email
- Most subscription systems send a “Your subscription has been canceled” email.
- Keep that in your inbox just in case.
Screenshot your status
- Take a quick screenshot of your billing page showing the cancellation for your records.
Contact support if you’re unsure
- If the billing page wording isn’t crystal clear, send a quick note to support@lindy.ai asking for confirmation that you will not be billed after the trial.

Can I restart or change plans after canceling?

Yes. Canceling your trial or subscription isn’t a permanent “goodbye forever.”

In most cases you can:

Come back later and choose a new plan
Upgrade or downgrade between:
- Free / trial options
- Credit-based Pro-style plans (e.g., plans with 200 or 3,000 credits)
Re-enable billing when you’re ready for Lindy to resume full-scale inbox and scheduling support

You’re not locked into one choice; you just control when the billing meter starts and stops.

Quick FAQ: Lindy free trial, billing, and cancellation

Do I get charged when I start the free trial?
No. The 7-day free trial is free. If a card is required, it’s for future billing after the trial, not for the trial itself.

When exactly does billing start?
Billing starts right after the 7-day free trial ends, if you’ve added a payment method and don’t cancel.

Can I cancel during my trial and still use Lindy until it ends?
Most setups allow you to cancel early and keep access until the trial end date, but you won’t be charged afterward. Check your billing page for details.

Are payments refundable if I forget to cancel?
Per Lindy’s terms, all purchases are non-refundable. But if there’s a special circumstance, support@lindy.ai is the place to ask.

How do I cancel to avoid being charged?
Cancel from your Billing / Subscription settings inside the app, or email support@lindy.ai requesting cancellation before your trial end date.

How to make your 7-day Lindy trial actually worth it

If you’re going to test Lindy, squeeze real value out of those 7 days:

Hook up your real accounts
- Connect Gmail/Outlook, your calendar, Slack, and anything else you actually use.
Let Lindy own your inbox triage
- Have it draft replies in your voice and filter what actually needs your attention.
Use it like a real assistant
- “Reschedule my 2 PM,” “Follow up with everyone from yesterday’s meeting,”
- “Find open time next week with Sam + Taylor and send options.”
Watch what slips through the cracks
- Or rather, what doesn’t anymore. Missed follow-ups and calendar chaos should drop fast.

If the trial doesn’t feel like getting an extra two hours a day back, you can cancel before billing starts and walk away clean.

If it does, you already know the answer.
