Albato

15k Automations per month for 60 bucks as a lifetime deal sounded spicy so i took it. But its not really 15k per month. Every automation you create with API just burns 8640 Automation tokens every month just by existing, without ever sending any real data. Sounds crazy? Yeah, the pricing model kinda is. Promising/Charging for Automation attempts rather than actual automations is very unintuitive and a frustrating experience for the user.

So yeah, you can basically automate 1 Workflow for lifetime with 6360 Automations in 1 flow with 15k "Automations" in Tier 1. If you'd try to attempt to let a second workflow run, you'd be at 17k/month already just by having 2 triggers existing without actually doing something.

Yes i know that the customer success representative is gonna answer with an article how they published something to reduce credit consumption. Yeah, i saw that. It does not help that only 5% of the apps allow webhooks as triggers. And even those seem to not work on albato. I tried 10 minutes to create a slack webhook trigger and send the same message to discord. It did not catch the webhook. Just the normal credit usage gave me errors as well with no data exchanged. I tried 50 minutes to make a 2 step automation work. Didnt work with some error codes and the struggle and time to try to come up with a solution is honestly not worth it. I rather grab another tool even if it costs more so i dont have these headaches.
