Which plan to pickTest on Free first to make sure your target sites work. Professional suits most business use because of the site and user limits; pay yearly if you are sure, as monthly costs much more.If you are connecting your own Claude or ChatGPT to your own apps, Hobby is all you need. Move to Pro when a team or a product of yours starts using it, so usage keeps running past the free cap instead of pausing until next month.If you have anyone technical on hand, self-host the Community Edition on a small server and pay nothing. Otherwise Starter on the cloud is the right place to begin, and 2,500 executions covers a lot when each run of a long workflow counts as one.
