The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- The Standard plan starts at 1,740 rupees a month for 5,000 tasks, billed in rupees on a plan ladder that runs all the way to 5 million tasks.
- The free tier gives five flows and 100 tasks a month with no card, enough to test whether the base app connectors cover your actual stack.
- Overage keeps flows running past the plan cap and bills the extra at the end of the cycle, with a daily task ceiling you set yourself.
The catch
- Each action executed counts as one task, so a flow with three actions burns three tasks per run and a 5,000 task plan drains faster than the label suggests.
- Polling triggers check for new events every 15 minutes on Free and Standard, and the fastest rate anywhere is five minutes on Professional.
- Premium apps, on-premise agents and automatic rerun of failed executions are Professional only, so Standard buyers retry every failure by hand.
- Flow history is 30 days on Free and 60 days on Standard, so tracing an intermittent failure from two months ago is not possible.
