Pabbly Connect pricing at a glance
Every paid tier includes unlimited workflows, unlimited premium apps, unlimited steps per workflow and multi-step routing. The only thing that changes between plans is how many tasks you get each month.
- Free: 100 tasks per month — enough to test, not to run a business on
- Standard: from about $19/month — 12,000 tasks/month
- Pro: from about $39/month — 24,000 tasks/month
- Ultimate: from about $79/month — 50,000 tasks/month and up
- No feature gating: premium apps, filters, routers and formatters are on every paid tier
What actually counts as a task
This is where Pabbly separates itself from Zapier, and it is the single biggest reason the bills differ. Pabbly only charges for actions that succeed — the trigger and any internal logic are free.
- Triggers are free — polling or receiving a webhook costs nothing
- Filters, routers and formatters are free — no task charged for logic
- Only a successful action step consumes a task
- Failed actions are not billed
- In practice a 5-step Zap that costs 5 Zapier tasks often costs 2 Pabbly tasks
How task rollover works
Unused tasks do not simply vanish at the end of the month on annual plans, which softens the risk of over-buying. It is worth understanding the mechanics before you size a plan.
- Annual plans allocate the full year's task pool, so a quiet month funds a busy one
- Monthly plans reset each billing cycle — no carry-over
- Going over the limit pauses workflows rather than silently billing you overage
- You can top up or upgrade mid-cycle and keep the same workflows running
The lifetime deal maths
Pabbly regularly sells a one-time lifetime licence. Whether it is a good buy comes down to one number: how many months you expect to keep using it.
- A typical LTD lands around $249–$399 one-time for a fixed monthly task allowance
- Against a $19/month Standard plan, break-even is roughly 13–21 months
- Against a $39/month Pro plan, break-even is closer to 6–10 months
- The risk is task growth: an LTD locks your allowance, so heavy scaling still means paying more
- If you are unsure your workflows will still exist in a year, the monthly plan is the safer bet
How Pabbly pricing compares
At equivalent volume Pabbly is consistently the cheapest of the mainstream hosted platforms, because of the task-counting model as much as the sticker price.
- Zapier: charges per step, so the same workflow costs several times more in tasks
- Make: prices per operation, cheaper than Zapier but still counts every module run
- n8n self-hosted: cheapest at very high volume, but you run the server
- Pabbly: lowest cost per real workflow for most small teams under 50,000 tasks
Which Pabbly plan to pick
Estimate your monthly action steps, not your monthly workflow runs. Most people over-buy because they size against Zapier's task definition.
- Testing or a single lead-capture flow: Free, then Standard once it goes live
- A small business running 5–15 live workflows: Standard at 12,000 tasks
- An agency or ecommerce store with order and CRM syncing: Pro at 24,000 tasks
- High-volume data syncing or client work: Ultimate, or the LTD if volume is predictable
