Tray.ai is an enterprise integration platform that now has a self-serve way in. Its pricing page says you can start on the Tray AI Orchestration Platform for $50 a month with Helix Builder Edition, and a free trial lets you measure usage first. Integrations, automations, apps and MCP tools are metered in Tasks and Helix Compute Units, with no per-user or per-connection fees, which helps when many people trigger the same workflows. Tray lists connectivity to 5,700+ apps, databases, APIs and services, plus a universal HTTP connector. Helix takes apps and integrations written with AI coding assistants to production, Agent Gateway for MCP governs MCP services, and Merlin Agent Builder is part of an agent development add-on. Enterprise adds regional hosting, log streaming and on-premise connectivity. It is built for IT teams, so non-technical users will find it heavier than Zapier, and overages are settled through a true-up.
