Pricing

A small bill for the parts of an automation that actually leave the workflow.

The short version

$10per 100,000 external action calls

New accounts start with $10 in free credit. That is enough for 100,000 action calls at the planned launch price.

What counts

An action call crosses the workflow VM boundary. Examples include:

Counts as a callDoes not count as a call
Send a Slack messageif statements and loops
Read a Google Sheets rowLocal variables
Ask an LLM for a completionJSON transformation
Persist workflow stateComparing values
Wait durablyReceiving the trigger itself

The unit is deliberately close to the infrastructure cost. A scheduled poll that checks one source every 15 minutes uses about 2,880 calls in a 30-day month—or roughly $0.29 at the planned price—before any calls used to act on new work.

Why not price per run?

“Workflow run” is a poor billing unit. One run might send a single notification; another might process ten thousand rows. Charging both the same hides the real cost and makes frequent polling needlessly expensive.

sync.cheap meters explicit outside-world operations instead. Local control flow is simply code.

Preview terms

Pricing is not live yet and may change before the public preview. When it does, changes will be documented here in plain language. There are no seat-based tiers or annual contracts planned for the initial release.
