Shortlist · Gumloop alternatives
Gumloop dropped its free plan: Pro is $37 a month, and the trial needs a card. Make and Zapier still have free plans. Among published prices, only Lindy charges per seat: five cost $149.95 a month, about four times Gumloop’s flat $37.

Why people look beyond Gumloop
The pricing page lists Pro from $37 a month and a custom-priced Enterprise plan (Gumloop pricing). The 14-day trial needs a card and rolls into paid Pro unless you cancel (Gumloop billing help). The independent tracker UsagePricing logged the removal of the $0 plan, which had 5,000 credits and 1 seat, on July 30, 2026 (UsagePricing tracker).
Each chat bills model tokens, at least 1 credit per successful tool call, 5 credits per minute of active compute, and an 8% fee on top for running the workflow, or 16% with your own model key. One credit is $0.005, and Pro credits don’t roll over (Gumloop credits docs). Even reading a Google Sheet or a Gmail message costs a credit.
The pricing page files the node-based builder under “Workflows (Legacy)”, with 5 concurrent runs on Pro (Gumloop pricing). A reviewer who has used Gumloop for two years writes that the node canvas has been retired (Marketer Milk, September 7, 2026; the review includes a discount code from Gumloop and affiliate links).
Audit logs, role-based access, SCIM/SAML (the sign-on standards big companies require), usage-data exports and workflow queuing are Enterprise-only (Gumloop pricing). Pro allows 25 concurrent agent chats and skips scheduled runs beyond that instead of queuing them (Gumloop rate limits docs).
Hosted agent pages make every visitor sign in with a Gumloop account, and people outside your organization spend their own credits (Gumloop hosted pages docs). Artifacts can be shared with anyone, but a public hosted artifact gets no integrations (Gumloop artifacts docs), and its docs offer no checkout or customer database. Gumloop reaches customers through tools you already run, such as a Gmail inbox, a helpdesk or a webhook from your own site (Gumloop agent triggers docs).
If your team uses many connectors and many seats, $37 a month for unlimited seats and 300+ connectors costs less than two Lindy seats at $59.98 (Gumloop pricing, Gumloop homepage, Lindy pricing). Skills also download as plain-text folders, so your instructions leave with you if you switch later (Gumloop skills docs).

One by one
Ordered by the reason you’re leaving Gumloop, not by quality. DoAny is last because it does a different job.
What it is: Make builds automations as visual scenarios with routers, filters and error handlers, across 3,000+ apps. It also offers AI agents, labeled beta, that run on Make’s AI provider or your own model key (Make pricing).
Why switch from Gumloop: It has the cheapest paid entry on this list, and the Free plan has no time limit. Router and error-handler modules use no credits, so branching logic doesn’t add to the bill (Make pricing).
Watch out for: Most other module actions cost a credit, code costs 2 credits per second of runtime, and the Free plan runs a scenario at most every 15 minutes. When credits run out, scenarios stop until you add more. Agents are a beta feature here, while Gumloop is built around them (Make pricing).
Price: Free for 1,000 credits a month. At 10,000 credits a month, Core is $9, Pro $16 and Teams $29, each billed annually; Core paid monthly is $10.59 (Make pricing).
What it is: Zapier connects 9,000+ apps through Zaps, multi-step on paid plans. Tables, Forms and Zapier MCP are available on every plan (an MCP tool call uses two tasks), and the SDK is free while in beta (Zapier pricing).
Why switch from Gumloop: If an app you rely on isn’t among Gumloop’s 300+ connectors, Zapier is the most likely to have it. Its Free plan is free forever, and the Team plan includes SAML SSO without an enterprise contract (Zapier pricing, Gumloop homepage).
Watch out for: Most Zap steps and every external connector call use tasks (built-in Filter, Formatter, Paths, Delay, Tables and Forms steps don’t), and AI steps, code and MCP draw from the same pool. Hit your limit and you move to pay-per-task billing, at a higher per-task rate, unless you turn that off. Agents and Chatbots are sold as add-ons (Zapier pricing).
Price: Free for 100 tasks a month, with two-step Zaps only. Professional from $19.99 a month billed yearly, or $29.99 monthly. Team from $69 a month billed yearly, or $103.50 monthly. The Team plan card lists 25 users, while Zapier’s FAQ says Team allows unlimited users (Zapier pricing).
What it is: n8n is workflow and agent automation you can use on n8n’s cloud or run on your own servers. A standard self-hosted Community Edition is free on GitHub (n8n pricing).
Why switch from Gumloop: n8n bills full workflow executions “regardless of complexity”, so a 20-step run counts the same as a 2-step one. Every plan includes unlimited users and every integration (n8n pricing).
Watch out for: The free Community Edition’s license allows use “for your own internal business purposes or for non-commercial or personal use”. Building n8n into a product you sell needs a commercial agreement. Self-hosting also makes you responsible for updates, backups and uptime (n8n license).
Price: Starter is €20 a month billed annually for 2,500 executions, Pro €50 for 10,000, and Business €667 for 40,000, self-hosted only. The page showed euro prices on our check (n8n pricing).
What it is: Lindy is an AI assistant that works in Slack threads, email inboxes and meetings, with scheduled routines, computer use and MCP support (Lindy pricing).
Why switch from Gumloop: Approval is the default rather than a setting: its FAQ says anything with outside impact, such as sending an email, waits for approval. When credits run low it pauses instead of billing overage (Lindy pricing).
Watch out for: It is priced per user, where Gumloop Pro covers unlimited seats, and unused credits don’t roll over (Lindy pricing, Gumloop pricing).
Price: Plus is $29.99 per user a month for 3,000 credits, Pro $99.99 for 15,000 and Max $199.99 for 35,000. Each seat adds its credits to a shared pool. Teammates who join through Slack get a 7-day free trial; direct signups are billed right away (Lindy pricing).
What it is: Relevance AI sells an “AI Workforce” of agents for sales, customer success, support and operations, with 2,000+ integrations, calling and meeting agents, and SSO, role-based access and audit logs (Relevance AI pricing).
Why switch from Gumloop: It suits a company that wants enterprise controls from the start. Gumloop keeps role-based access, SCIM/SAML and audit logs for its own Enterprise plan (Relevance AI pricing, Gumloop pricing).
Watch out for: Its pricing page lists only an Enterprise plan, so there is no public price to compare and the way in is a sales conversation (Relevance AI pricing).
Price: Custom, quoted by sales (Relevance AI pricing).
What it is: DoAny is the AI company builder we make. You describe an idea and its agent, Annie, researches the market, then builds and hosts a real web app with customer accounts, a database, file uploads and Stripe checkout. After launch she posts daily, follows up with prospects, runs your CRM and answers customers around the clock (DoAny homepage).
Why switch from Gumloop: Checkout pays into your own Stripe account on every plan, Free included, and DoAny’s Terms rule out a cut of your sales; Stripe’s processing fees apply. Hosting is included and doesn’t use credits. Credits stop hard, with no overage and no automatic recharge, and turning on payments, paid renders, new recurring jobs and account connections wait for you on an approval card (DoAny Terms, DoAny pricing, DoAny run-it-solo guide).
Watch out for: DoAny won’t replace Gumloop for internal automation. It has no connector marketplace (Annie writes a backend function for each service, using your API key), no SSO, no SMS or phone, and no visual editor. The checkout on the sites DoAny builds is Stripe only at the moment, and going live opens a new Stripe account rather than taking over one you have.
Price: Free is $0 with no card: 5 credits a day, up to 30 a month, and you can go live and take real payments on it. Pro starts at $25 a month for 100 monthly credits plus 5 a day and a domain you own, and top-ups cost $15 per 50 credits (DoAny pricing).

Down to DoAny and Gumloop? The DoAny vs Gumloop comparison works through the credit arithmetic, the approval defaults and the payments flow side by side.
Fine print, compared
Usage-based plans differ most at the edge. Some stop, some pause, and two can keep billing: Zapier by default unless you switch it off, and n8n’s self-hosted Business plan, which invoices overage. Relevance AI publishes no plan limits, so it isn’t listed.
Swipe to compare every column.
| Tool | At the limit | Can the bill grow on its own? |
|---|---|---|
| Gumloop Pro | Agents stop. Pay-as-you-go is off by default; once on, it bills $0.005 a credit up to $5,000 per billing period unless you set a lower cap. | Only if you switch overage on.Source: Gumloop credits docs, Gumloop pricing |
| Make | Scenarios stop until credits are added. Alerts go out at 75% and 90% of your credits. | Only if you turn on extra-credit auto-purchasing, which buys 10,000 credits at a time on Core, Pro and Teams.Source: Make pricing |
| Zapier | Zaps keep running on pay-per-task billing, at a higher per-task rate, until the plan’s maximum task limit; then they pause until the next usage period. | Yes, by default on accounts opened after January 2024, unless you turn pay-per-task billing off.Source: Zapier pricing, Zapier billing help |
| n8n | Cloud: executions over the monthly limit fail with an error until the next calendar month. Self-hosted Business: workflows keep running. | Gateway AI credits top up only if the instance owner sets that up; self-hosted Business may invoice overage, €4,000 per 300,000 executions.Source: n8n Help Center, n8n Gateway credits docs |
| Lindy | Credit-using actions pause until credits reset at the start of the next cycle. | No. Its FAQ promises no surprise bill.Source: Lindy pricing |
| DoAny | AI work pauses and DoAny tells you. The site, data and checkout stay online, because hosting doesn’t use credits. | No. There is no overage and no automatic recharge.Source: DoAny run-it-solo guide, DoAny pricing |
On Zapier, pay-per-task billing is the default past your task limit, so turn it off if you want a hard stop. On Gumloop, overage is off, but switching it on sets a default ceiling of $5,000 a billing period; you can set a lower cap on its Usage & Limits page.
Worked example
Arithmetic on each vendor’s entry price for a plan that fits five people. The units differ (credits, tasks, executions), so this compares the fixed fee, not the work it buys.

| Plan | Five people, one month | What that includes |
|---|---|---|
| Gumloop Pro | $37 | Unlimited seats; 20,000 credits for the whole teamSource: Gumloop pricing |
| Lindy Plus | 5 × $29.99 = $149.95 | 15,000 credits in a shared pool (5 × 3,000)Source: Lindy pricing |
| Zapier Team | From $69 billed yearly, or $103.50 monthly | Free and Professional have 1 seat each, so five people need Team. Its card lists 25 users; Zapier’s FAQ says Team allows unlimited users.Source: Zapier pricing |
| Make Core | $9 billed annually, or $10.59 monthly | 10,000 credits a month. Every Make plan includes unlimited users; Teams ($29 billed annually) adds teams and team rolesSource: Make pricing |
| n8n Starter | €20 billed annually | Unlimited users, 2,500 executions and 1 shared projectSource: n8n pricing |
| DoAny Pro | $25 | Unlimited team members, no per-seat fees; 100 monthly credits plus 5 a day (for building and running your business, not internal automation)Source: DoAny pricing |
Only Lindy charges per person: five seats cost $149.95, about four times Gumloop’s $37. Every other plan here is a flat fee for the team.
Switching from Gumloop
Your agent logic exports: skills as files, configurations through the API. Connections and triggers are the part you rebuild.
Write down every scheduled, app and webhook trigger and the account behind it; you’ll set these up again on the new tool. A webhook URL is its own credential, since “anyone holding it can run your agent” (Gumloop API docs).
Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file. Download it from the Skills page (Gumloop skills docs) or run gumloop skills download (Gumloop CLI docs). The instructions are plain Markdown and travel well; scripts that call Gumloop’s own helper library rely on its sandbox and need rewriting elsewhere.
The API’s Retrieve agent version call returns each agent’s model, system prompt and tools with credentials and secrets stripped. Skill file contents are never included, so don’t skip step 2 (Gumloop API reference).
Gumloop’s pricing page lists no whole-workspace export; its Enterprise “Data Exports” covers usage data and metrics (Gumloop pricing). Download the artifacts and files you want in the new tool. Cancelling doesn’t delete them, but agents stop running once the paid period ends (Gumloop billing help).
A Gumloop webhook URL can run your agent, and spend your credits, until its trigger is deleted: “delete the trigger to retire a URL” (Gumloop API docs). Rebuild one agent in the new tool, switch the source app or form to the new webhook, then delete the Gumloop trigger so two systems don’t act on the same record.
Fees are non-refundable, so cancel before you’re billed again. Access lasts to the end of the period you paid for, and your agents, skills and chats stay in the account (Gumloop billing help).
Before choosing
For automation, Make and Zapier both have free plans with no time limit: 1,000 Make credits a month, or 100 Zapier tasks a month with two-step Zaps only. n8n’s Community Edition is free if you host it yourself. If you want to start a business rather than automate one, DoAny’s Free plan is $0 with no card: 5 credits a day, up to 30 a month, and it can go live and take real card payments with 0% of sales (Stripe’s fees apply).
Not on its pricing page as of September 25, 2026. It offers a 14-day Pro trial that needs a card and rolls into paid Pro, from $37 a month, unless you cancel first. The independent tracker UsagePricing recorded the free plan’s removal on July 30, 2026.
n8n. Its Community Edition is free to run on your own servers, and its Business plan, €667 a month billed annually, is self-hosted only. The Community Edition’s Sustainable Use License limits it to your own internal business purposes or non-commercial or personal use, and embedding n8n in a product you sell needs a commercial agreement.
Zapier, with 9,000+ apps. Make lists 3,000+ and Relevance AI 2,000+. Gumloop lists 300+ connectors plus MCP servers. DoAny has no connector marketplace; its agent writes a backend function for each outside service using your API key. If an app you rely on is missing from Gumloop, check Zapier first.
Zapier, by default on accounts opened after January 2024: past your task limit it moves to pay-per-task billing unless you turn that off. Gumloop and Make can, but only if you switch on overage or auto-purchasing; Gumloop’s default overage ceiling is $5,000 a billing period. n8n’s self-hosted Business plan may invoice overage at €4,000 per extra 300,000 executions, while n8n Cloud fails executions over the limit. Lindy pauses instead, and DoAny pauses AI work with no overage or recharge.
The automation tools connect to a store or site you already run. DoAny builds and hosts the product itself: a web app with customer accounts, a database and Stripe checkout into your own Stripe account. Bring its exported code and database records; DoAny imports them, so you don’t start over, though going live opens a new Stripe account. Free can take real card payments; DoAny takes 0% of your sales, and Stripe’s processing fees still apply.
Source record
We read each vendor’s pricing page and the relevant documentation, help articles and license terms on September 25, 2026, and link each fact where it’s used. Two third-party sources are labeled as such: a pricing tracker for the date Gumloop’s free plan disappeared, and a long-term user’s review that includes a discount code from Gumloop and affiliate links. DoAny facts come from our own product. Prices change often; check the vendor’s page before you buy.
