The short version

  • Only Grouparoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Grouparoo standard Cloud plan is metered by records synced rather than users, starting at $150/month for 100K records and rising to $600/month for 1M records; Inngest the free Hobby tier pauses function execution entirely once its 50,000 monthly executions are used, rather than allowing pay-as-you-go overage, as of August 2026.
