Albato is a solid low-cost alternative for teams that outgrow free tiers. Its pricing counts transactions only for steps that run after the trigger, so the trigger itself is free. The Free plan gives 100 transactions, 5 active automations, 2 steps per automation and 15-minute updates. Pro costs $15 a month billed annually, or $22 monthly, for 1K transactions with unlimited automations and steps, Albato AI, AI Agents, data migration, auto replay and 5-minute updates, plus a 7-day trial. Teams starts at $65 a month billed annually with 5 seats and 3-minute updates. If you run out mid-month, Albato keeps automations running on extra transactions priced 50% higher, which avoids broken workflows but can raise the bill. Its catalog of 1,000+ apps covers common CRMs and marketing tools but is smaller than the leaders'.
