The short version

  • Only CrewAI has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CrewAI the free Basic tier caps at 50 workflow executions per month, with all higher usage requiring a custom Enterprise contract, as of August 2026.; Kintone priced at $24 per user/month with a minimum of 5 users ($120/month floor), so it is not accessible below that spend even for a solo user
