Bottom line
App automation across 2,000+ apps where only action steps use tasks; triggers, filters, routers and formatters are free. Free plan with 100 tasks a month; Standard is $16/mo billed yearly or $19/mo monthly for 10,000 tasks, and one time lifetime plans start at $349.
Stands out for: Pabbly Connect does not count triggers or internal steps as tasks, so a workflow that costs two tasks on Zapier or three credits on Make can cost one here. It also sells one time lifetime plans alongside monthly and yearly subscriptions.
Watch out for: Lifetime plans cannot be upgraded later, cap tasks per month, and include only one year of support on the top tier; the $349 plan is limited to 10 workflows with two steps each. Team members are not available on monthly billing.
Overview
Pabbly Connect is a no code automation platform from Pabbly, a Magnet Brains company. You build workflows from a trigger and one or more actions across more than 2,000 apps, then add routers, filters, delays, schedules, iterators, an email parser and JavaScript or Python code steps. An API module and Action Builder connect apps that are not in the catalog, and a built in MCP server lets Claude and other MCP clients run workflow actions.
Teams pick Pabbly Connect mainly on price. The Free plan covers 100 tasks a month and two workflows of up to two steps. Standard is $16/mo billed yearly or $19/mo monthly for 10,000 tasks, and Unlimited is $69/mo billed yearly or $79/mo monthly for unlimited tasks. Lifetime plans are $349 for 3,000 tasks a month, $799 for 10,000 and $1,298 for 20,000, all with a 30 day refund window. Pabbly states it is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 certified.
