AI agents for browser-based workflow automation
Forever free
Gumloop is one of the few platforms that natively encourages you to bring your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) on the $37/mo Pro plan. This is massive for solo founders. Instead of paying inflated platform markups for AI actions, you pay the raw, wholesale API cost directly to OpenAI. This drastically stretches how far your 20,000 monthly Gumloop credits will go.
Unlike nearly every other SaaS tool targeting operators, Gumloop does not force a minimum seat count. In fact, the $37/mo Pro plan gives you unlimited seats by default. You can invite your co-founder, a virtual assistant, or a freelance developer into your workspace without triggering aggressive 'per-user' upcharges.
Gumloop operates on a usage-based credit model, which can be highly unpredictable. A simple scraping step might cost 1 credit, but passing a large document to a GPT-4 node might burn dozens or hundreds of credits in a single run. If you don't monitor your workflow logic carefully, an infinite loop or a poorly optimized prompt can drain your 20,000 monthly credits in a matter of days.
This is less than 45 minutes of billable time. If Gumloop automates just one repetitive data extraction or lead-enrichment task that takes you an hour a week, the ROI is an immediate positive. The inclusion of unlimited seats means you won't pay extra when you eventually hire a VA.

Yes, but significantly fewer. Gumloop still charges a nominal platform credit fee for executing the step itself, but the heavy token-generation cost is shifted to your personal OpenAI billing account, saving you money at scale.
Yes. The free plan resets with 5,000 credits every month. It is not a 7-day trial. If you have a very small, infrequent automation running, you can theoretically use Gumloop for free forever.
Your workflows will pause until the next billing cycle unless you opt-in to overage billing. You can purchase additional credit blocks to keep your automations running without needing to negotiate a custom Enterprise tier.
