The short version

  • Only Autonoly has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Autonoly pricing is credit-based, so heavy web-scraping or long-running workflows can consume the monthly allowance quickly and require add-on credit packs.; Camunda camunda 7 Community Edition stopped receiving security patches after the 7.24 release in October 2025, so free production deployments are now running unpatched software.
  • They diverge on capability: Autonoly covers Natural language workflow builder, Camunda covers BPMN 2.0 execution.
  • 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.

Autonoly

  • Pricing is credit-based, so heavy web-scraping or long-running workflows can consume the monthly allowance quickly and require add-on credit packs.
  • The free plan allows 1,000 credits and three concurrent workflows a month, which is enough to trial the product but not to run anything continuously.
  • No published mobile apps (iOS/Android); the platform is web-based only.
  • Company details such as founding date, founders, and team size are not disclosed on the site, making it harder to evaluate the vendor's track record.
  • As an AI-agent-driven scraper/executor, reliability on sites with aggressive bot protection or frequently changing layouts may vary compared to purpose-built RPA tools.

Camunda

  • Camunda 7 Community Edition stopped receiving security patches after the 7.24 release in October 2025, so free production deployments are now running unpatched software.
  • Camunda 8 Self-Managed is source-available under the Camunda License 1.0, not open source: production use requires a paid licence, and organisations that adopted Camunda for its Apache licence have to renegotiate that decision.
  • Migrating from Camunda 7 to 8 is a rewrite rather than an upgrade because the engine, the API and the persistence model all changed, and there is no in-place migration for running instances.
  • Camunda 8 Self-Managed has substantial infrastructure requirements including Zeebe brokers, Elasticsearch and Identity, which is a considerable operations burden compared with the single database that Camunda 7 needed.
  • Pricing is not published at all, so evaluating total cost requires a sales process, and there is no way to size a budget before committing engineering time to a proof of concept.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Autonoly: What happens if I run out of credits?

Autonoly notifies you and suggests optimisations rather than stopping outright: you can upgrade at any time, or have non-critical workflows paused automatically until the allowance resets.

Source
Camunda: Can I upgrade from 7 to 8?

Not in place. The engine, API and persistence changed, so it is a rewrite of the integration layer.

Autonoly: Can I change plan partway through a month?

Yes. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately and billing is prorated. Autonoly also offers 50% off paid plans for nonprofits.

Camunda: What does it cost?
