The short version

  • Only Automate.io has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AppSheet starter plan at $5 per user per month limits the native database to 5 databases at 2,500 rows each; Automate.io no longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down

  • Free exploration is capped at 10 users

Automate.io
