The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Flowise the free plan caps at 2 flows and 100 predictions per month; the $35 per month Starter plan raises that to 10,000 predictions with additional users billed at $15 per user per month on Pro, as of August 2026.; RudderStack on the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Flowise

  • The free plan caps at 2 flows and 100 predictions per month; the $35 per month Starter plan raises that to 10,000 predictions with additional users billed at $15 per user per month on Pro, as of August 2026.

RudderStack

  • On the free plan data processing stops after a second consecutive overage rather than being billed, so exceeding 250,000 events twice breaks the pipeline
  • The free plan allows 250,000 events a month
  • Growth starts at $265 a month for 1 million events, with volume sold in tiers up to 25 million
  • Overage is charged as the gap to the next tier's price rather than per event, so a small excess costs a full tier step
