AI Agents Pricing Index 2026
Workflow execution pricing, per-run costs, and seat limits across 13 AI agent platforms. n8n, Make, Zapier AI, Devin, Dify, and 8 others compared.
Key findings, July 17, 2026
- This index tracks 13 AI agent platforms, with published paid plans from $9 to $59 per month.
- 92% (12 of 13) include a free tier, a land-and-expand model built around developer adoption.
- Four pricing models split the market: workflow executions, seat-based subscription, usage-and-credits, and hybrid free-plus-percentage.
- Workflow-execution plans look cheapest at $9 per month but meter per operation, so production volume drives the real bill.
- For LLM-backed agents, the platform fee is the smaller number. External model tokens are billed separately and often cost more.

Four Pricing Models in the AI Agent Market
Workflow Executions
Make (Integromat), Zapier AI
Priced per scenario run or task execution. Make starts at $9/mo for 10,000 operations. Zapier AI starts at $29.99/mo for 750 tasks. Costs scale with automation volume rather than seat count.
Seat-Based Subscription
n8n, Dify, Devin, Letta, Browser Use
Monthly fee per user or workspace. n8n starts at $24/mo, Dify at $59/mo, Devin at $20/user/mo. Fixed cost regardless of workflow volume makes budgeting predictable for small teams.
Usage and API Credits
OpenAI Agents SDK, AutoGPT
No platform subscription fee but underlying API calls billed per token consumed. Total cost depends entirely on model choice and task complexity. Suitable for developers who want infrastructure control.
Hybrid: Free Platform + % Savings
Composio, CrewAI
Platform access is free or low-cost. Revenue comes from enterprise contracts, integrations marketplace, or a percentage of measurable ROI. Pricing not fully transparent until enterprise negotiation.
Key Takeaways
All 13 AI agent platforms include a free tier in 2026
Universal free-tier adoption reflects the current land-and-expand strategy across the category. Platforms prioritize developer adoption and workflow testing before converting teams to paid plans. This differs from traditional automation tools where paid plans were required from day one.
Workflow-based pricing scales predictably but hides real costs
Make at $9/mo and Zapier AI at $29.99/mo appear cheap at face value. Both are priced per operation or task execution, and production workflows can consume thousands of operations per day. Teams should model monthly operation counts against their automation volume before selecting a plan tier.
API consumption costs sit outside the subscription price for LLM-backed agents
Devin, AutoGPT, and OpenAI Agents SDK all rely on external LLM APIs billed separately. A team running Devin on complex engineering tasks will spend more on OpenAI API credits than on the Devin subscription itself. Total cost of ownership must include model usage, not just platform fees.
Enterprise pricing diverges sharply from published rates above 10 users
Most published prices cover solo developers or small teams. Relevance AI's team plan at $349/mo and Browser Use's Business plan at $999/mo represent the high end of transparent pricing. Enterprise agreements for platforms like Composio and CrewAI are custom-quoted and typically include dedicated support, SLAs, and compliance features.
Questions buyers ask
How much do AI agent platforms cost in 2026?
Published paid plans run from $9 to $59 per month across 13 tracked platforms. That range covers the self-serve tiers only. LLM-backed agents like Devin also bill external API usage on top, which often exceeds the platform fee.
Do AI agent platforms offer free tiers?
92% do: 12 of 13 tracked platforms include a free tier. Universal free access reflects a land-and-expand model where vendors win developer adoption first and convert teams to paid plans once workflows move to production.
Which pricing model is cheapest for AI agents?
It depends on volume. Workflow-execution pricing (Make from $9 per month) looks cheapest at face value but bills per operation, so heavy automation runs up the meter. Seat-based plans are flat and predictable. Usage-and-credits models shift the cost entirely to underlying API tokens.
Why does the real cost of an AI agent exceed the subscription?
Because the subscription rarely includes model inference. Devin, AutoGPT and the OpenAI Agents SDK call external LLM APIs billed per token, and workflow tools meter operations separately. Total cost of ownership has to add model usage and execution volume to the platform fee.
