How much does Inngest cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Inngest pricing as of July 2026: a free Hobby tier (50,000 executions/month), Pro from $99/month plus usage (concurrency controls, longer history), custom Enterprise, and a free self-hosted open-source option (Apache-2.0, requires Postgres). Metering is execution-based with expanded dimensions (span data in GB, events ingested, realtime connections). This replaced the earlier Basic $20 / Pro $50 tiers — Inngest consolidated to a single paid Pro plan at a higher $99 base. It targets TypeScript and Python teams that want durable execution without operating Temporal.
Inngest charges by executions, with expanded metering dimensions. As of July 2026, the published tiers are:
Published tiers (verified July 2026)
- Hobby (Free): 50,000 executions/month, community support, 1 production environment
- Pro: from $99/month + usage — concurrency controls, longer history, multiple environments, priority support
- Enterprise: custom — SSO, SOC 2 attestation, multi-region, dedicated support
- Self-hosted (open source): Apache-2.0, no run quota, requires Postgres
The 2026 change consolidated the old Basic $20 / Pro $50 tiers into a single Pro plan starting at $99/month with usage-based metering. Metering now spans executions plus span-data (GB), events ingested, realtime connections, and queue depth, so cost tracks total workload rather than a single counter.
How Inngest compares
| Tool | Entry paid | Model |
|---|---|---|
| Inngest Pro | from $99/mo + usage | Execution + span-data metered |
| Trigger.dev Pro | $50/mo + usage | Run + compute metered |
| Hatchet Team | $500/mo + usage | Execution metered |
| Temporal Cloud | from $100/mo | Action metered |
Inngest is aimed at TypeScript/Next.js teams that want durable execution without running Temporal; self-hosting becomes attractive once monthly executions exceed roughly 1-2 million.
Editor's Note: Inngest's pitch is durable, event-driven functions without operating a Temporal cluster, which suits TypeScript teams that want step-level retries and observability out of the box. Re-checked July 2026: Inngest consolidated its paid tiers into a single Pro plan from $99/month (up from the old Basic $20 / Pro $50) with broader usage metering — so model your execution volume plus span-data, and remember the Apache-2.0 self-host remains free for teams that outgrow the managed tiers. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
