The short version

  • Only Pabbly Connect has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Pabbly Connect the 'unlimited tasks every month' claim on the Pabbly Plus bundle is qualified by a fair usage policy; Workato the pricing page names four product lines, Enterprise iPaaS, Agentic solutions, API Management and Data Orchestration, and publishes no figure for any of them, gating all of it behind Schedule a demo
  • They diverge on capability: Pabbly Connect covers Workflow automation, Workato covers Process orchestration.
