FlowRunner now has a Free plan, a $5 Starter plan, and a 14-day trial of Professional for every new account. The platform itself did not change. Every plan, including Free, still has unlimited users, unlimited workflows, every integration, AI agents on your own keys, and human-in-the-loop. What changed is where the ladder starts.
Here is the full picture, what stayed the same, and why we made the change.
What changed
| Plan | Price | Executions a month | Log history |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 | 24 hours |
| Starter | $5 or $15 | 300 or 3,000 | 24 hours |
| Growth | $45 to $149 | 12,000 to 60,000 | 7 days |
| Professional | $299 | 75,000 | 30 days |
| Business | $999 | 250,000 | 90 days |
| Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Three things are new.
- A permanent Free plan. $0, no time limit, no credit card. 100 executions a month, one running at a time, 24 hours of visible run history. One Free workspace per account.
- A Starter plan with two rungs. $5 a month for 300 executions, or $15 for 3,000. Same platform as Free, more volume.
- A 14-day Professional trial. Every new account starts its first workspace on Professional, with audit trails and role-based access control switched on, and no card required. When the trial ends, the workspace moves to Free and keeps running.
One smaller change: you no longer need a company email address to sign up. Any real address works. Disposable domains are still blocked.
Why we did it
Honest version: FlowRunner was already the cheapest platform in its category per run, and it had the highest entry price in that category with no free option.
Both of those were true at once because of the billing unit. FlowRunner counts one complete workflow run as one execution, however many steps it has. At $45 for 12,000 executions, Growth worked out to less than half a cent per run. But the first number anyone sees is the sticker, and $45 with no free plan sat above Zapier, Make, and n8n on every price filter, every “cheapest automation tool” list, and every answer a language model gives to “affordable Zapier alternative”. We were being excluded at the sort step, before the per-run math was ever read.
That is a shelf-price problem, not a value problem. So we fixed the shelf. The Free plan and the $5 Starter put FlowRunner where the filters can see it. The per-run price still falls at every step up the ladder: $0.0167 on Starter at $5, $0.005 on Starter at $15, $0.00375 on Growth at $45, and $0.00248 on Growth at $149. Every upgrade buys more runs per dollar than the plan you leave.
What did not change
We gated nothing by feature. The Free plan runs the same platform as Enterprise.
- Unlimited users. No seats, on any plan, including Free. Invite the whole team on day one.
- Unlimited workflows. Build as many flows as you need.
- Every integration. The whole catalog of 2,100+ integrations is on every plan. Nothing is behind a higher tier.
- AI agents with your own keys. Bring your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or other provider keys and pay those providers directly, with no markup.
- Human-in-the-loop. An agent can pause a run and pull in a person over email, Slack, WhatsApp, or phone, then resume with full context. That is the core of the product, and it is on the Free plan.
Executions, concurrency, and log history are the only meters. If a plan feels tight, it is because of volume or history, never because a capability was held back.
One run is one execution
The billing unit is where FlowRunner pricing differs from most of the category, and it matters more now that the entry plans are small.
Zapier bills per task, where each successful action step counts. Make bills per credit, where each module run consumes credits. Take a 10-step flow that runs 1,000 times a month. That is roughly 10,000 Zapier tasks, roughly 10,000 Make credits, and 1,000 FlowRunner executions.
So the 100 executions on the Free plan are 100 whole runs, not 100 steps. A five-step flow gets 100 runs a month on FlowRunner Free and 20 runs on a 100-task free tier. The number on the plan card looks the same. What it buys does not.
Log history is a window, not a deletion policy
The Free and Starter plans show 24 hours of run history. Growth shows 7 days, Professional 30, Business 90, Enterprise everything.
Two things to be clear about. First, this is run history and analytics, not audit trails. Audit trails start at Professional and are a separate record built for auditors. Second, runs older than your window are hidden, not deleted. The app tells you how many runs sit outside the window, and moving to a plan with a longer window reveals them. We chose “log history” as the wording on the pricing page for exactly that reason. Retention is a data-handling promise, and the periods after which run data is actually deleted are stated in the Privacy Policy, not on a plan card.
Why 24 hours on the entry plans? Because an overnight failure stays visible and a weekend one does not, and that is the moment a team discovers it needs more history. We would rather that moment be an upgrade prompt than a support ticket.
The 14-day trial
The trial is deliberately simple: one plan, one clock, and a soft landing at the end.
Your first workspace starts on Professional for 14 days: 75,000 executions, 30-day audit trails, and role-based access control. No card. If you add a payment method, you land on whichever plan you picked. If you do not, the workspace moves to the Free plan and your flows keep running within Free limits. Nothing is paused and nothing is deleted. One trial per account, and export is not available while a workspace is on trial.
The trial runs on Professional rather than Growth so you can evaluate the part of FlowRunner that is not table stakes: the audit trail and the access controls, in your own workflows, before you decide whether they are worth $299.
If you already have an account
Nothing changes for paid plans, and existing workspaces are not moved to any new plan. If you want the lower entry point for a second workspace, the Free plan is available to every account.
If you were waiting for a free option before trying FlowRunner, that was the last reason to wait.
Start free
The pricing page has the full comparison table, plan by plan. Or skip it and start on the Free plan. Build a flow, invite the team, connect the tools you already use, and let an agent ask a person when a decision needs one. No card, no clock.
Quick answers
Is the FlowRunner Free plan really free? Yes. $0, no time limit, no credit card. It runs 100 executions a month, one at a time, with 24 hours of log history, and includes every integration, AI agents with your own keys, human-in-the-loop, unlimited users, and unlimited workflows. One Free workspace per account.
Do I need a company email address to sign up? No. Any real email address works, including personal domains. Disposable and throwaway email domains are not accepted.
What happens when the 14-day trial ends? If there is no payment method on file, the workspace moves to the Free plan and your flows keep running within Free limits. Nothing is paused or deleted.
Are runs older than my log history window deleted? No. They are hidden. The app shows how many runs sit outside your window, and moving to a plan with a longer window reveals them. The periods after which run data is actually deleted are stated in the Privacy Policy.
