Lindy Cost Tuning
Overview
Lindy uses a credit-based pricing model. Every task costs credits based on model
size, step count, premium actions, and duration. Cost tuning targets: model
right-sizing, agent consolidation, trigger optimization, and credit monitoring.
Prerequisites
- Lindy workspace with billing access
- Multiple active agents to evaluate
- Dashboard access to review per-agent task history

Instructions
Step 1: Audit Agent Credit Consumption
For each active agent, collect:
- Task count (last 30 days) — from Tasks tab
- Average credits per task — total credits / task count
- Model used — from agent settings
- Trigger frequency — how often the agent fires
Create a cost audit table:
| Agent | Tasks/Month | Credits/Task | Model | Monthly Credits | % of Total |
