We test automation and vibe-coding tools the way you use them, then price them and map the exit before you commit.
Counts are live from the blog. Each tile opens its tag page.

A five-person team's no-code AI bill depends on the unit: seats, credits or executions. Here is what Zapier, Make, n8n, Lindy and Gumloop cost in practice.

Understand n8n pricing in 2026: what counts as an execution, what each cloud plan holds, and when self-hosted licensing changes the cost math for your team.

Retool, Budibase and Appsmith meter different units: builders and users, creators and actions, or flat seats. Here is what each tier costs and what it gates.

Zapier bills each AI step at 1, 3, or 5 tasks by model tier, and Make's pricing FAQ gives no AI credit multiplier, so run the per-run math before you build.

What Khanmigo, Gemini for Education and n8n publish on lesson planning, feedback, prices and licence lock-in โ quoted exactly, gaps flagged.

Supabase's vector search is sold as AI-ready, but PostgREST can't run pgvector operators: every documented route needs SQL and an rpc() call.
Per-task and per-op metering is where automation budgets blow up. Drag the slider, see how n8n's documented Business-tier pricing scales against self-hosting your own compute.
Metering models differ: Zapier charges per task, Make charges per operation, n8n charges per workflow execution. That's why we compare at the execution level and link you to the per-unit breakdowns.
Anchor rates are the only documented figures we cite; intermediate values are interpolated linearly between them and labeled as estimates. Full breakdowns: /compare/ ยท licensing context: is no-code dead?
Decide, move, then run. Each step links to the post that covers it.
