Pricing research
AI agent builder pricing compared
Agent builders are the hardest category to compare on price, because the unit of work changes from one vendor to the next: credits, executions, conversations, activities or runs. One agent run can use several of these units, so the cheapest plan on paper is not always the cheapest in use.
Open source options change the picture again. A self-hosted edition can be free to use, but you then pay for and maintain the servers. The table shows what each vendor publishes, in its own unit.
8 products. Prices read from each vendor’s pricing page, most recently on 16 October 2026.
How much does an AI agent builder cost?
AI agent builders usually start between $20 and $50 a month, but each counts usage differently. n8n charges per workflow execution, Botpress per conversation, Lindy per user with a monthly credit allowance, and Dify per workspace with message credits. Several, including n8n and Dify, also have a free self-hosted edition if you run the servers yourself.
Prices side by side
“Starts at” is the cheapest published paid option in the vendor’s own unit. Rows billed per seat, per minute or per resolution cannot be compared on the number alone.

Questions
What is the difference between credits, executions and conversations?
They are each vendor's way of counting work. n8n counts one execution per workflow run regardless of steps. Botpress counts conversations. Lindy and Dify use credits that vary with the model and task. Check how many units one of your typical runs uses.
Can I use an agent builder for free?
Some offer limited free cloud plans, such as Botpress's 100 conversations and Dify's Sandbox. n8n and Dify also publish free self-hosted editions, which are free to use but need your own server and maintenance.
