Prices verified July 2026 · taken from Pipedream's official pricing · all figures per run

As of July 2026, the cheapest plan we track for Pipedream costs $45 per month at 1,000 runs and $309.6 at 100,000 runs (cheapest qualifying plan, 3-step workflows, monthly billing), from Pipedream's official pricing, verified by hand.

Heads up: Pipedream meters credits per workflow execution, and the public per-credit overage rate has been pulled from the pricing page — high-volume overage is now a sales conversation. The Business tier carries the over-volume estimate. Size your plan carefully. Also note: Workday announced an agreement to acquire Pipedream in November 2025, so keep an eye on plan and pricing changes.

Each workflow execution consumes credits based on compute time; paid plans include a monthly credit pool. We normalise this to runs × steps so it lines up with the other tools in the table above.

It's developer-first — the real power is in code steps and APIs. If you want a drag-and-drop no-code builder, Make or Activepieces will feel friendlier.

Workday signed a definitive agreement to acquire Pipedream on 19 November 2025. Public plans haven't changed as of our last review, but Workday's stated focus is enterprise AI-agent connectivity — so roadmap direction and the long-term shape of the self-serve tier are open questions for small teams and indie developers. If you're making a multi-year platform bet, re-check the pricing page and roadmap before committing.
