The short version
- Only Automate.io has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Automate.io no longer exists as a product. automate.io redirects to notion.com, which acquired the company and wound the integration service down; Kudos kudos publishes no price for any of its three tiers (Basic, Plus, Enterprise); the entire plans page gates every tier behind "Request a Demo" or "Request a Trial" with only a discount for not-for-profit organizations over 100 employees mentioned, no figures given (archived plans page, 22 February 2021)
- They diverge on capability: Automate.io covers Multi-step automations, Kudos covers Peer-to-peer recognition.
