Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Integromat
- The free plan enforces a 15 minute minimum interval between runs, so nothing near real time is possible without paying
- Free is limited to 2 active scenarios, a 5 MB file size and 7 days of execution logs
- Billing is per credit where each module action counts as one, so a scenario with many steps consumes credits far faster than its run count suggests
- Make API access requires a paid plan
- Priority execution and full text log search are Pro features
- Overage protection is Enterprise only, so cheaper plans can run up charges
Pipedream
- The Internet Archive's capture of Pipedream's pricing page on 26 December 2023 listed Free at $0/month (750 credits/mo, 3 active workflows, 3 connected accounts), Basic at $19/month billed annually (2,000 credits, 20 workflows), Advanced at $49/month billed annually (5,000 credits, unlimited workflows), and Business at $99/month billed annually (dedicated VPC, SSO); Enterprise is by contact only.
