Key takeaways
- Gumloop is a no-code canvas for AI workflows and agents that connect tools like Slack, Gmail, and Sheets, plus hosted MCP servers and code sandboxes.
- There is no renewing free plan in August 2026. New accounts get a 14-day Pro trial (card required). Legacy free balances do not refresh monthly. Sources: gumloop.com/pricing and Gumloop credits docs.
- Pro starts at $37/month for 20,000 credits (7,400 at list rate plus 12,600 bonus), unlimited seats/teams, 5 concurrent workflow runs, 25 concurrent agent chats, and 1 hosted MCP server. Enterprise is custom (SSO/SCIM, VPC, rollover credits).
- Credits are usage-based. Agent chats bill model tokens + tool calls + compute + an orchestration fee. Bring-your-own-key (BYOK) can drop model credit cost to zero on Pro+.
- Best for operators who want agentic automation without standing up Cursor + APIs. Weaker if you need Zapier-simple per-task pricing or a one-off scraper.

What Gumloop is
Gumloop is a visual automation product that grew from "connect apps with AI nodes" into a broader agent platform: multi-step agents, workflow canvas, MCP hosting, scrapers, enrichment nodes, and team collaboration.
What that means in practice:
- What it is: no-code AI workflows and agents for RevOps, marketing ops, and internal automation.
- What limits it: credit burn on AI-heavy and enrichment nodes; learning curve above Zapier for simple two-step zaps.
- What it is not: a coding IDE, and not a deterministic iPaaS with fully predictable per-task invoices.
A simple way to think about it: Gumloop is Zapier-shaped on the canvas, agent-shaped in the runtime.
It raised a $50M Series B led by Benchmark (with Shopify Ventures participation) in 2026, which matches the product push toward agents and team features rather than solo scrapers.

Three budgeting details that matter:
- $1 ≈ 200 credits at the $0.005 list rate. Pro's "20,000" includes bonus credits; treat AI-heavy months as variable.
- Credits do not roll over on Pro. Enterprise can negotiate rollover.
- BYOK (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, SpaceXAI, Fireworks) can zero out Chat & Reasoning credit charges on Pro+, which is often the difference between "fine" and "surprise invoice" if you run frontier models all day.
Overage on Pro is optional, billed at $0.005/credit, with a default cap (docs cite up to 1,000,000 overage credits / $5,000 per period unless you lower it).
What it is good at
- Lead enrichment and research loops (with the caveat that enrichment nodes are expensive in loops).
- Document triage, inbox sorting, and Slack-native agent helpers.
- Internal tools where non-engineers need to own the automation after an ops person designs the first version.
- Teams that want unlimited seats on Pro without per-seat markup.
Limits and tradeoffs
- Credit math is harder than Zapier's task counts. You will mis-estimate until you watch a few real runs in Chat Details / Usage.
- Enrichment in a For-Each over hundreds of rows burns credits fast (docs example: enriching 100 contacts ≈ 6,001 credits).
- Enterprise pricing is opaque until sales.
- If your workflow is mostly "when X then Y" with almost no AI, a cheaper traditional automation tool may be enough.
Who should use it
Choose Gumloop if you are a non-engineer (or a small ops team) who wants agents + workflows in one canvas and you are willing to watch credits.
Skip it if you only need two-app sync with predictable pricing, or if your team already ships agents in Cursor and prefers code-owned pipelines (that comparison is Day 23).

FAQ
Does Gumloop have a free plan?
Not a renewing one for new accounts as of August 2026. You get a 14-day Pro trial. Older free-tier balances may remain but do not refresh monthly.
How much does Gumloop cost?
Pro starts at $37/month for 20,000 credits and unlimited seats. Enterprise is custom.
Do Gumloop credits roll over?
Not on Pro. Enterprise can roll over unused credits.
Is Gumloop cheaper with my own API keys?
Often yes for model-heavy agents. BYOK can drop Chat & Reasoning credit cost to zero; tool calls and compute still bill.
