The Free plan costs nothing and has no end date. It is for one person trying out one process: everything you build works, within smaller limits. This article lists those limits and what Free cannot do.
Who can do this
Every company can be on Free. A company starts on it when its owner has already had a Pro trial, and moves to it when a trial ends or the owner selects Downgrade.
What Free includes
| On Free | |
|---|---|
| Workspaces | 1 |
| Projects | 1 in the workspace |
| Workflows switched on at once | 5 in the workspace — build as many drafts as you like |
| Steps in one workflow | 20 |
| People | 1 — you |
| Runs a month | 100, carrying on to 110 before runs are skipped |
| Test runs | 50 a day in the workspace |
| Versions kept of each workflow | 3 |
| Runs kept in each workflow's history | The last 10 |
| Lists | 2, with 1,000 rows between them |
| App triggers check for new items | Every 15 minutes |
| Support tickets | Best effort, a first reply within 3 business days |
What Free cannot do
- Invite anyone. Inviting says "Your plan is for a single person. Upgrade to invite others."
- Publish a workflow that uses a premium connection (◇) — HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft SQL, Jira or Amazon S3. You can add the connection, build the steps and test them; publishing says "“Microsoft SQL” needs a paid plan. Change the plan, or remove it and publish the rest."
- Use environments and global variables.
- Import a Bizomate workflow file. Importing a file from another automation tool works on Free.
- Show your brand logo on a form. "Your brand logo on the form is on paid plans. On Free the form shows only its fields, with no logo."
- Buy extra runs. Past 110 runs, runs are skipped until the month resets.
Good to know
- Templates are on every plan, Free included.
- Exporting your workflows always works, whatever the plan.
- The workflow limit counts only workflows that are switched on. Switch one off to make room for another.
- Runs reset on the first of each month. See What counts as a run.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Your plan runs 5 workflows at a time. Switch one off first, or upgrade." | Five are already on in this workspace | Switch one off first. |
| "Your plan allows 1 project per workspace. Upgrade to add more." | Free has one project | Group workflows in the one project, or leave them ungrouped. |
| "Your plan allows 1 workspace. Upgrade to add more." | Free has one workspace | Work in the one you have. |
| "Your plan allows 20 actions in a workflow. This one has 21." | A workflow on Free holds 20 steps | Remove a step, or split the work into two workflows. |
| "You have used today's 50 test runs. They come back at midnight." | Free allows 50 test runs a day in each workspace | Wait until midnight in your own time zone. |
