The panel's verdict
Workato, an enterprise integration and automation platform from Workato, Inc., USA, scores highest on governance and audit and integrations and connectors: SAML 2.0 single sign-on, immutable audit logs with up to 90-day configurable retention streamable to the customer's SIEM, 150-plus pre-built and 1200-plus embedded connectors, a generic HTTP connector, a stateless on-premise agent, and AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link. Run reliability and hosting and portability hold at a flat 4 — region choice including an EU data center and a single-tenant Virtual Private Workato option, set against no public information on replaying a failed run or a documented export format for workflow definitions. Process design spreads 2-4, the widest range, though the judges point to the same gaps — no public information on deadlines, escalation, substitutes or versioning of running processes; the spread is in strictness, not in findings. Sovereignty sits at 3 throughout: the contracting entity is Workato, Inc. of the USA, an EU region is one selectable option, and the sovereignty attributes are marked unknown. The pricing page names tiers without figures; pricing transparency scores 1.
Speaks for it
- Immutable audit logs with up to 90-day configurable retention, streamable to customer-managed SIEM storage
- On-premise reach through a stateless pass-through agent plus AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link
- 150-plus pre-built integrations and 1200-plus embedded connectors, backed by a generic HTTP connector for custom connections
- A single-tenant Virtual Private Workato option hosted and managed in Workato's own AWS cloud
- An EU data center option with the vendor's statement that data, metadata and logs never leave the chosen region
Held against it
- We found no public information on approval deadlines, escalation, substitutes, or versioning of processes already running
- We found no public information on the subprocessor list, including the model providers behind the AI steps
- The on-premise agent is a pass-through proxy rather than the engine, and we found no public information on a self-hosted edition
- We found no public information on replaying a failed run from the failing step or on documented runtime and throughput limits
- The captured pricing page names tiers without any price figure for any of them
Best for
- You need to reach systems behind your firewall through a stateless agent and private network links
- Your audit obligations are met by immutable logs with configurable retention streamed to your own SIEM
- You want region choice including an EU data center and single-tenant isolation without hosting the engine yourself
- Your integration work depends on catalogue breadth plus a generic HTTP connector for custom endpoints
Avoid if
- You need the workflow engine on your own infrastructure — the private option is vendor-managed and the on-premise agent is a pass-through proxy, not the engine
- You require an EU contracting party — the contracting entity is Workato, Inc. of the USA and the collected sovereignty attributes are marked unknown
- Your approvals depend on deadlines, escalation chains and substitutes — the captured pages evidence assignment to users or groups

Process design, forms & approvals
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Modelling the process people take part in: a visual designer or BPMN, forms, approval steps with roles and substitutes, deadlines and escalation, and versioning of a process that is already running — judged on whether a business owner can change a process without breaking the instances in flight.
0 — Linear trigger-action chains only; no human steps, no forms and no statement on approvals or roles.
3 — A visual builder with branching and a simple approval step, but approvers are named individuals rather than roles, there are no deadlines or escalation, and changing a process has no versioning.
5 — A visual designer with conditions and parallel paths, built-in forms, approval steps assigned to roles or groups, deadlines with reminders, and versions of a process kept with the running instances on their original version.
8 — BPMN 2.0 modelling or an equivalent documented notation, substitutes and escalation chains, multi-stage approvals with four-eyes rules, forms in German with validation and file upload, a task inbox for participants, and a test or simulation mode before publishing.
10 — The process is a governed asset: version history with diff and rollback, migration of running instances to a new version documented, process analytics on cycle time and bottlenecks per step, and the design documented well enough that a business team can maintain it without the vendor.
The Process Owner
The captured product pages show a visual low-code builder with custom interfaces, human tasks assignable to users or groups, and notifications — group assignment is a start toward role-based tasks. I found no public information on approval steps with substitutes, deadlines that escalate, or how a changed process affects instances already in flight, which is exactly what my forty running approval requests depend on. 6
The Integration Engineer
A visual drag-and-drop page editor builds custom user interfaces, and tasks are assigned to users or groups with notifications, so human steps genuinely exist alongside the automation. But I found no public information on approval steps with deadlines, escalation chains or substitutes, and nothing on versioning of a process that is already running — for an approver missing at the coffee machine, the captured pages describe no plan B. 6 3
The Operations Analyst
The captured product pages show a low-code builder with a visual drag-and-drop page editor for custom interfaces and automated task management assigning tasks to users or groups with notifications — the outline of human steps, but with groups standing in for approver roles. We found no public information on deadlines, escalation, substitutes or versioning a process that is already running, and nothing on BPMN modelling or a simulation mode before publishing. 2 6
The Head of IT
A visual drag-and-drop editor with custom forms and task assignment to users or groups with notifications is genuine approval work, beyond named individuals. But I found no public information on deadlines and escalation, substitutes, versioning of a process that is already running, BPMN support, or a test mode before publishing — the things that decide whether a business owner can change a process safely. 5 6
The Data Protection Officer
The product pages document a visual low-code designer with a drag-and-drop page editor, custom interfaces, and task assignment to users or groups with notifications — a step beyond approvals bound to named individuals. We found no public information on deadlines and escalation, substitutes, or how a running process is versioned when its definition changes, and no modelling notation or test mode is in evidence. 5 6
The Skeptic
The captured product pages show a visual drag-and-drop page editor, low-code app building and task assignment to users or groups with notifications, which covers human-in-the-loop basics. We found no public information on approval steps with roles or substitutes, deadlines and escalation, or how a process change affects instances already running, and no BPMN or equivalent notation is described. 6
Connectors, API & on-premise reach
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Reaching the systems a European company actually runs: maintained connectors judged by name rather than count, a generic HTTP and webhook step, custom connectors, and a way to reach systems behind the firewall without opening it.
0 — No connectors beyond email, and no API or webhook step.
3 — A large connector count on a logo wall, with no statement of which actions each supports or who maintains them, and no generic HTTP step.
5 — Named connectors with their triggers and actions documented, including Microsoft 365 and at least one ERP or accounting system common in DACH (e.g. SAP, DATEV, Microsoft Dynamics), a generic HTTP/REST step, inbound webhooks, and a documented API to start and query workflows.
8 — Custom connectors buildable from an OpenAPI description or code, an on-premise agent or self-hosted runner reaching internal databases and file shares, SOAP and database steps, OAuth handled per connection, and connector maintenance ownership (vendor, partner or community) stated.
10 — Integration is engineered: a versioned public API with a deprecation policy, connector changelogs, rate limits per connector published, event-driven triggers rather than polling where the source allows it, and the vendor maintaining the German-market connectors (DATEV, SAP, ELO or d.velop) itself.
The Process Owner
An on-premise agent described as a stateless pass-through proxy, plus AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link, answers my firewall concern, and a generic HTTP connector alongside 150+ prebuilt and 1200+ embedded connector claims gives breadth. The pages give counts rather than documented triggers and actions per connector, and I found no public information on named SAP, DATEV or Microsoft Dynamics connectors or on who maintains each connector. 6 12 13 14
The Integration Engineer
The two things I wire first are both documented: custom connections go through an HTTP connector, and the On-Premise Agent is described as a stateless pass-through proxy to on-premises resources, sold in counts per plan and backed by PrivateLink. What surrounds them is thin — connector counts (1200+, 150+) with actions named on only the captured pages, and I found no public information on DACH ERP connectors like DATEV or SAP, inbound webhooks, a documented API to start and query workflows, or who maintains each connector. 14 13 12 6
The Operations Analyst
A generic HTTP connector for custom connections and a stateless on-premise agent reaching internal systems without storing data are both evidenced, with agent counts rising by plan (3, 10, 30). Beyond that the connector story is a count, and the captured pages give different figures — 150-plus pre-built integrations on one page against 1200-plus embedded connectors on another — with no statement of each connector's supported actions, who maintains them, or a webhook step. 2 12 13 14
The Head of IT
A generic HTTP connector for custom connections and a stateless on-premise agent that reaches internal systems without storing data are exactly the reach I need, with private links over AWS and Azure on top. But the connector catalogue is presented as counts — 150+ prebuilt integrations, 1200+ for embedded — and I found no public information on which actions each connector supports, who maintains them, or named coverage of Microsoft 365, SAP or DATEV. 12 13 14
The Data Protection Officer
Individual connector pages document their specific actions, custom connections run through a generic HTTP connector, and a stateless on-premise agent — bundled in counted numbers per plan — plus AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link reach systems behind the firewall without the agent storing data. We found no public information on Microsoft 365 or a DACH ERP connector such as SAP, DATEV or Microsoft Dynamics, on inbound webhooks, or on who maintains each connector. 2 12 13 14
The Skeptic
Beyond the headline counts — 150-plus integrations, 1200-plus embedded connectors — the captures document named connectors such as AWS API Gateway with custom actions, a generic HTTP connector for anything else, and an on-premise agent described as a stateless pass-through proxy, plus AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link for private reach. We found no public information naming Microsoft 365 or a DACH ERP connector such as SAP or DATEV, on inbound webhooks, or on who maintains each connector. 12 13 14
Execution, error handling & monitoring
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What happens when a step fails at 3 a.m.: retries, error paths, alerting, an execution history someone can search, limits on runtime and throughput, and a status page that admits incidents.
0 — Nothing stated about failed runs; an error stops the workflow silently.
3 — Failed runs are marked and an email is sent, but retries are manual, execution history is short or undocumented, and runtime and throughput limits are unstated.
5 — Automatic retries with configurable back-off, an error path or error workflow, a searchable execution log with input and output per step, failure alerts by email or chat, and runtime, payload and rate limits documented.
8 — Replay of a failed run from the failing step, idempotency guidance, queueing and concurrency controls, execution history retention stated per plan, monitoring exportable to the customer's own tools, and a public status page with incident history and an uptime commitment.
10 — Operations are designed for production: an SLA with service credits, horizontal scaling or high-availability setup documented for self-hosted installs, dead-letter handling, end-to-end tracing across workflows, and post-incident reports published.
The Process Owner
Managed file transfer documentation names error handling, retries, and alerts and monitoring, and the deployment page describes complete job histories with 90-day configurable retention, streaming to our own SIEM, and active-active deployment across zones. I found no public information on replaying a failed run from the failing step, on documented runtime and throughput limits, or on a public status page with incident history. 12 7
The Integration Engineer
Retries, error handling and alerts are documented, but only under Managed File Transfer — for workflow runs generally the evidence is complete job histories, immutable audit logs with up to 90-day configurable retention and streaming to the customer's own SIEM, concurrency caps per plan, and active-active deployment across three or more zones. I found no public information on replaying a failed run from the failing step, on a general error path or error workflow, or on runtime and throughput limits. 7 12 4 2
The Operations Analyst
Retries, error handling and alerts are listed in the managed file transfer documentation, monitoring runs around the clock across three-plus availability zones, and job histories sit under immutable audit logs with configurable 90-day retention and streaming to our own SIEM. We found no public information on a searchable per-step execution log, replay from the failing step, or the actual runtime, payload and throughput figures — a limits page exists in the documentation but the captured facts include no numbers from it. 2 12 7
The Head of IT
Error handling, retries and alerts with monitoring are documented, but only for Managed File Transfer, while immutable audit logs with configurable retention up to 90 days streamable to our own SIEM, plus active-active deployment across three or more availability zones, give me something to operate on at 3 a.m. I found no public information on runtime or throughput limits, replay of a failed run from the failing step, a public status page or an uptime commitment. 12 7
The Data Protection Officer
The managed file transfer documentation covers error handling, retries, and alerts and monitoring, and immutable job histories are kept with configurable retention up to ninety days, extensible by streaming to storage the customer manages; transaction data is deleted within thirty days by default unless configured otherwise. We found no public information on replaying a run from the failing step, on error paths outside managed file transfer, or on documented runtime, payload and rate limits, and no status page or uptime commitment. 4 12 7
The Skeptic
Documentation for managed file transfer names error handling, retries and alerts, and the platform pages promise complete job histories, immutable audit logs with up to 90-day configurable retention, and streaming to a customer's own SIEM. We found no public information on retry back-off for ordinary workflow steps, replay from a failed step, runtime or throughput limits, or a public status page with incident history. 12 7
Governance, credentials & audit trail
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Keeping automation from becoming shadow IT: roles and permissions, SSO, where connection credentials are stored, separate environments with controlled publishing, an audit trail of changes and approvals, and what the execution log retains of the payload. An approval record is also a record of employees' behaviour, so what the trail captures matters to a works council.
0 — Single-user accounts or one shared login; no roles, no audit log and no statement on credential storage.
3 — Admin and member roles and shared team folders, but credentials are visible to anyone who can edit a workflow, there is no audit log, and execution payloads are kept without a stated period.
5 — Role-based permissions per workflow or folder, SSO via SAML or OIDC, credentials stored encrypted and usable without being revealed, an audit log of workflow changes, and the retention period of execution data stated.
8 — Separate development, test and production environments with a publishing approval, SCIM provisioning, external secret stores supported, payload redaction or log-off per workflow, configurable execution data retention, and the audit trail exportable — with the fields it records about users described.
10 — Governance a works council and an auditor can both sign off: field-level masking of personal data in logs, delegated administration per department, a central inventory of every workflow and connection with its owner, certifications published (ISO 27001 or SOC 2), and documentation of what the platform records about individual users.
The Process Owner
SSO with user-based access controls, SAML 2.0, immutable audit logs with configurable retention and streaming to our own storage, and a stated 30-day default retention for transaction data cover most of what my auditor asks for. The top tier adds data masking and activity audit, but I found no public information on credential storage, separate environments with a publishing approval, SCIM provisioning, or what fields the trail records about individual users — the first question my works council will raise. 2 4 6 12
The Integration Engineer
SAML 2.0 SSO with user-based access controls, immutable audit logs with configurable retention plus streaming to the customer's own SIEM, and execution data deleted within 30 days unless otherwise configured — that is a trail an auditor can work with, and data masking and hourly key rotation exist but arrive only in the highest tiers. I found no public information on where connection credentials are stored, on SCIM provisioning, on separate dev/test/production environments with a publishing approval, or on what fields the trail records about individual users. 12 6 4 2
The Operations Analyst
SSO with SAML 2.0, user-based access controls and immutable audit logs with configurable 90-day retention exportable to customer-managed storage are evidenced, and transaction data deletion is configurable with a 30-day default. Data masking, activity audit and hourly key rotation appear only as features of the Enterprise plan, and we found no public information on where connection credentials are stored, SCIM provisioning, or separate development-test-production environments with a publishing approval. 2 4 6 12
The Head of IT
SSO with SAML 2.0, role-based access across systems and environments, an activity audit, data masking and hourly key rotation at the Enterprise tier, and configurable retention — 90 days for audit logs, 30 days for transaction data by default — form a real governance skeleton. I found no public information on controlled publishing between test and production, SCIM provisioning, external secret stores, or what the audit trail records about individual users, which is the first thing a works council will ask me. 2 4 6 12
The Data Protection Officer
Single sign-on with SAML, immutable audit logs with configurable retention that can be streamed out to the customer's own monitoring, configurable execution-data retention, and — at the upper tiers — data masking, activity audit and hourly key rotation address what I ask before a works council does: where the payload copy lives and for how long. We found no public information on automatic user provisioning, external secret stores, a publishing approval between separate environments, or which fields the trail records about individual users. 2 4 6 12 9 10
The Skeptic
SAML 2.0 single sign-on, immutable audit logs with configurable retention and SIEM streaming, data masking and activity audit on the Enterprise tier, and a stated 30-day default for transaction data give the governance story real substance. We found no public information on where connection credentials are stored, on separate development, test and production environments with a publishing approval, on SCIM provisioning, or on what the audit trail records about individual users. 2 4 12
Hosting options & portability
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Where the engine runs and whether the workflows can leave: cloud regions, self-hosted or on-premise editions, the licence of the engine, and export of workflow definitions in a format another tool or a later version can read.
0 — Cloud-only with no stated region, and no export of workflow definitions.
3 — Cloud-only with a region named, and an export that produces a proprietary file only the same product can import.
5 — An EU cloud region selectable, workflow definitions exportable as documented JSON or BPMN 2.0, and an API to read definitions and execution history for backup.
8 — A self-hosted or on-premise edition with its system requirements documented, workflow definitions versionable in Git, the engine's licence published, and a documented migration path between cloud and self-hosted in both directions.
10 — The customer owns its automation: an open-source or source-available engine, definitions in an open standard executable elsewhere, air-gapped installation supported, and a stated exit process that hands back definitions, credentials metadata and execution history in documented formats.
The Process Owner
An EU region is selectable among seven named regions, and the Virtual Private Workato option provides a dedicated single-tenant environment fully managed by the vendor in its own AWS cloud — more isolation than plain multi-tenant, but not self-hosting. I found no public information on exporting workflow definitions in a documented format another tool could read, on the engine's licence, or on a migration path between cloud and on our own servers. 4 12
The Integration Engineer
Multi-tenant cloud or a Workato-managed single-tenant VPC on AWS, with an EU region among seven and a stated promise that data, metadata and logs never leave the chosen region's boundary — solid placement. I found no public information on a self-hosted or on-premise edition of the engine (the On-Premise Agent is a pass-through proxy, not the engine), on the engine's licence, or on exporting workflow definitions in a documented format such as JSON or BPMN; the export that is stated covers account holder data without naming a format. 12 4
The Operations Analyst
An EU region is selectable among seven, with data, metadata and logs stated never to leave the chosen region, and a single-tenant Virtual Private Workato edition on the vendor's own AWS cloud adds isolation while remaining fully managed by the vendor rather than something we host ourselves. We found no public information on exporting workflow definitions in a documented format or an API to read definitions and execution history for backup, and the engine's licence is not published. 4 12
The Head of IT
Seven named regions including an EU region that keeps data, metadata and logs inside its boundary, a single-tenant Virtual Private Workato option, and a stated right to export account data give me placement control. But the on-premise agent is a proxy for reaching systems, not the engine itself, and I found no public information on a self-hosted edition, the engine's licence, or a documented export format for workflow definitions that another tool could read — without that, there is no exit I can sign. 4 12
The Data Protection Officer
An EU region is selectable with the statement that data, metadata and logs never leave the chosen region, and a single-tenant Virtual Private Workato runs in Workato's own AWS cloud — vendor-managed isolation rather than customer infrastructure. The terms grant a right to export account holder data, but we found no public information on exporting workflow definitions in a documented format or on any self-hosted edition; the on-premise agent is a stateless proxy, not an engine. 4 11 12
The Skeptic
Eight named regions including an EU data center, active-active availability zones and a single-tenant Virtual Private Workato hosted in Workato's own AWS cloud say where the engine runs, and the terms let an account holder export account data with deletion after termination. The export carries no documented format for workflow definitions, the private option is still fully managed by Workato, and we found no public information on Git versioning of definitions, a customer-run or air-gapped install, or a documented migration path out. 4 12
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity is, where workflows execute and where execution logs with their payload copies are stored, and who the subprocessors are — including the AI model providers behind any AI steps. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. A self-hosted edition counts only for the data that actually stays on the customer's servers.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, execution location unstated, and subprocessors unnamed.
3 — An EU region offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent, or AI steps send data to model providers of unstated location.
5 — EU execution and log storage as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — AI steps, support access, telemetry — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.
8 — EU execution on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published with locations including AI providers, a DPA covering execution payloads, and a self-hosted option that sends no workflow data to the vendor.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, AI steps runnable on European or self-hosted models, certification published, and a self-hosted edition that works without any call home.
The Process Owner
The contracting entity is Workato, Inc., a US company, and EU data centres are offered as one selectable region rather than the standard execution location. I found no public information on the subprocessor list, including where the AI model providers behind any AI steps sit, so the chain behind the EU region is unevidenced. 2 12
The Integration Engineer
A US vendor offering an EU region among seven is the textbook middle case: EU execution possible as an option while the contracting entity sits outside the EU. I found no public information on the subprocessor list or on where the AI and agentic features send their data, and the terms allow Workato to use usage data — aggregated and anonymized — for training and improving the platform. 12 3 4
The Operations Analyst
The vendor and contracting company is US-based while an EU region is offered as one choice among seven, and we found no public information on a subprocessor list or on which model providers sit behind the AI steps and where they run. Deletion and retention terms for transaction data exist, but we found no public information on a data processing agreement covering execution payloads or an EU contracting entity. 2 3 4 12
The Head of IT
The contracting entity is Workato, Inc. in the USA while an EU region is offered as a hosting option, and I found no public information on the subprocessor list or the location of the model providers behind the AI steps. The independently collected sovereignty attributes mark jurisdiction, ownership, data residency and subprocessor exposure all as unknown — as a contract this is American with a European data-centre choice, not sovereignty. 3 4 12
The Data Protection Officer
The contracting entity is Workato, Inc. in the USA, while EU hosting is one selectable option among US, Japan, Singapore, China, Australia and Israel — so the chain of transfers stays under a non-EU contracting party even when execution sits in the EU. We found no public information on the subprocessor list, on where the AI and agent features send data, or on European ownership, and the single-tenant option still runs in Workato's own AWS environment. 2 4 12
The Skeptic
An EU region is offered and the vendor states that data, metadata and logs never leave the chosen region's boundary, but the contracting entity is Workato, Inc. of the USA. We found no public information on subprocessors, including which model providers sit behind the "AI by Workato" steps in the plan lists; the terms' machine-learning use of usage data is qualified only as aggregated and anonymized. 2 4 12
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the monthly cost of their own processes from public pages alone: what the billing unit is (task, operation, execution, run, user or flow) and what counts as one, the allowance per tier, overage prices, and the cost of premium connectors, self-hosting, environments and AI steps.
0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.
3 — A starting price exists, but the billing unit is undefined or what counts as one task or execution is unstated — the invoice is unknowable.
5 — Tier prices public with the billing unit defined and the monthly allowance given, but at least one commonly needed piece (overage, premium connectors, extra environments, self-hosted licence, AI steps) is unpriced.
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its unit, allowance and limits, overage priced per unit, premium connector and add-on prices listed, self-hosted licensing stated, minimum term and VAT treatment given.
10 — Complete price computability: the monthly cost derivable for a given number of workflows, runs and steps per run, with a published calculator or worked examples, every add-on and overage on a public page, and the effect of loops and retries on the count explained.
The Process Owner
The pricing page names tiers and their feature lists, a usage dashboard tracks task consumption, and a free start exists — but no price figure appears anywhere I can see. Without a price per task, monthly allowances, overage terms or what counts as one task, I cannot compute what my approval process would cost; the invoice is a sales conversation. 2 13
The Integration Engineer
The pricing page names four tiers and their feature bundles, and a usage dashboard tracks task consumption — so the billing unit is visible in outline. But no figure is public anywhere in the captures: I found no public information on tier prices, monthly task allowances, overage rates, or what premium connectors and extra on-premise agents cost, so a buyer cannot compute a monthly invoice from the pages alone. 2 13
The Operations Analyst
The pricing page publishes a plan ladder — Business, Enterprise and Workato ONE above a Standard tier — with on-premise agents, concurrency and workbots counted per plan and a usage dashboard for tracking task consumption, yet no price appears anywhere, only a free start. We found no public information on tier prices, what counts as a task, monthly allowances or overage, so the cost of a loop over 5,000 rows cannot be computed from public pages. 2 13
The Head of IT
The public pricing page lists four tiers by included features — concurrency counts, on-premise agents, workbots — and a usage dashboard that tracks task consumption, so the billing unit is evidently a task. But I found no public information on any tier's price, monthly allowance, overage rate, or the cost of the on-premise agents and AI steps; there is no number on these pages to plan a budget against. 2 13
The Data Protection Officer
The captured pricing page names four tiers with what each includes — counted on-premise agents, concurrency, workbots — and a usage dashboard to track task consumption, but we found no price figure for any tier, no monthly allowance and no overage or add-on prices. With no number on the page, a buyer cannot compute a monthly cost from public information. 2 13
The Skeptic
The captured pricing page names plans — Business MCP, Enterprise MCP, Workato ONE — with concurrency and on-premise-agent counts and a usage dashboard for "task consumption", but we found no public price in any capture: no figure per tier, no definition of what counts as one task, no allowance, no overage or add-on price. "Start for free" is the only price-adjacent statement found, so a buyer cannot compute a monthly cost from these pages. 2 13

- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
