The short version

  • Only Lindy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Lindy requires per-user subscription, which scales costs with team size; Qovery no plan publishes a price, deployment minute overage rates are not disclosed, and there is a 14 day trial rather than a free tier, so you cannot budget or compare against alternatives without going through sales.
  • They diverge on capability: Lindy covers Slack integration, Qovery covers Bring your own cloud.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Lindy

  • Requires per-user subscription, which scales costs with team size
  • Limited free trial period of 7 days may not allow full evaluation
  • Credit system complexity could be confusing for new users
  • Not designed for technical teams as primary tool

Qovery

  • No plan publishes a price, deployment minute overage rates are not disclosed, and there is a 14 day trial rather than a free tier, so you cannot budget or compare against alternatives without going through sales.
  • The GPL-3.0 engine and console do not constitute a self-hostable product, because the control plane and API are closed and the self-hosted option is gated behind Enterprise, so the open licence gives you no exit if the company changes direction.
  • Qovery provisions managed Kubernetes into your account, which means the cloud bill sits on top of the licence and Qovery initiates control plane and ingress controller upgrades on infrastructure your team is accountable for.
  • The company repositioned to agentic infrastructure in June 2026 and now ships a deployment platform, a browser development portal and autonomous coding agents concurrently, so a buyer of the deployment product is not at the centre of the roadmap.
  • Team and Business are capped at two and three connected clusters with fixed 4 vCPU CI runners and no single sign-on on Team, which pushes teams of moderate size onto quoted Enterprise pricing earlier than the plan names imply.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Lindy: How does Lindy maintain data privacy and security?

Lindy is SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA, and PIPEDA compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The platform never sells your data or uses it to train models. Enterprise plans include signed BAAs and audit logs.

Source
Qovery: Does Qovery run my applications on its own servers?

No. It provisions and operates Kubernetes inside your AWS, GCP, Azure or Scaleway account, so compute and data stay with your cloud provider and that bill is entirely separate from the Qovery licence.

Lindy: Can we start with a free trial?

New team members joining through Slack receive a 7-day free trial before being billed. Direct signups are charged immediately. There is no permanent free tier after the trial.

Source
Qovery: Can I self-host Qovery?

Only on Enterprise. The deployment engine and console are GPL-3.0, but the control plane is closed source and the self-hosted and air-gapped deployments are commercial Enterprise features.

Lindy: How many applications can Lindy integrate with?

Lindy connects to over 1,000 applications including Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, GitHub, Stripe, and others, with support for Model Context Protocol servers for custom integrations.

Source
Qovery: What does it cost?

Qovery does not publish a rate card. Team and Business are billed on usage and quoted through sales, and Enterprise is fully custom. There is a 14 day trial with no card required.

Qovery: What survives if I stop paying?

The Kubernetes cluster and the workloads keep running in your cloud account, but you lose the console, the deployment pipeline, preview environments and every process built on top of them.
