Windmill Pricing in May 2026

Windmill's pricing follows tiered structure: Free for personal use, Team at $10/user/month, Enterprise custom-quote. Self-hosted Windmill is genuinely free under AGPL-3.0. Real-world Windmill Cloud bills for managed deployment land at $50-500/month for typical 5-20 person teams.

The Free Plan offer covers basic Windmill workflows. The strategic decision: Windmill's value is the consolidation: where you'd typically need Retool plus Inngest plus Airflow, Windmill handles internal-tool UIs, durable background jobs, scheduled tasks, and workflow orchestration in one self-hostable open-source platform. For broader internal-tool platforms, Retool is the dominant alternative for internal-tool UIs specifically and wins on polish and component breadth. Budibase and Appsmith are open-source Retool alternatives with similar internal-tool focus. For workflow orchestration specifically, Inngest, Trigger.dev, and Temporal target durable workflows but don't bundle UI builders. Airflow, Prefect, and Dagster target data-pipeline orchestration. Zapier, Make, and n8n target no-code integration workflows. For specific use cases: Pipedream targets developer-friendly serverless integrations; Airplane (now part of Airtable) handles operational scripts and runbooks. Windmill's strength is the breadth — being good enough at multiple categories rather than best at one. For teams who want one open-source self-hostable tool for internal tools plus workflows plus crons, Windmill is genuinely unique. For teams committed to managed SaaS, Retool + Inngest + n8n cover Windmill's scope at higher cost.
