How much does Keystroke cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Keystroke offers three tiers as of July 2026: Hobby (free forever, with $1/month of included usage credit), Pro ($20/month, including $20/month of usage credit), and Organization (custom pricing with SSO, RBAC, and audit logs). Usage is metered on every tier: $0.01 per agent or workflow run, $0.005 per empty poll, $0.007 per web search, roughly $0.067 per hour of sandbox compute, and a 1.1x markup on AI model calls unless you bring your own API keys.
Keystroke Pricing Structure (July 2026)
Keystroke uses plan-plus-usage pricing. Each tier includes a monthly usage credit; metered consumption draws against it, and overage is billed at the same rates.
Hobby (free forever). $1/month of included usage credit, 1 project, 5 GB file storage, 5 concurrent runs, 10-minute agent and workflow timeouts, a 60 requests/minute API rate limit, and 7-day log retention.
Pro ($20/month). Includes $20/month of usage credit, 5 projects, 50 GB storage (then $0.25 per 10 GB), 10 concurrent runs, 30-minute timeouts, a 300 requests/minute rate limit, and 30-day log retention.
Organization (custom). Unlimited projects and concurrent runs, custom storage, timeouts, rate limits, and log retention, plus role-based access controls, SSO, audit logs, and priority support.
The Usage Rates
All tiers meter the same rates: $0.01 per agent run, $0.01 per workflow run, $0.005 per empty poll trigger, $0.007 per web search, $0.001 per web fetch, and roughly $0.067 per hour of sandbox compute. AI model calls through Keystroke's gateway (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, xAI) carry a 1.1x markup on the provider's list price; bring-your-own-key usage is not billed by Keystroke at all. New signups receive $20 in free credits during the open alpha.
What the Math Looks Like
At 10,000 workflow runs a month, run fees alone are about $100, versus the $20 credit included with Pro, so roughly $100/month total. For comparison, n8n Cloud Pro covers 10,000 executions for $60/month, and self-hosted n8n meters nothing. At a few hundred runs a month, Hobby's included credit can cover the entire bill, which makes trialing effectively free.
Editor's Note: The rate card looks tiny until you do the polling math: one workflow polling every five minutes generates roughly 8,600 polls a month, which is about $41 at the $0.005 empty-poll rate before a single run executes. In our client stacks we default to webhook triggers wherever the source app supports them, for exactly this reason. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
Caveats
Keystroke is an open alpha as of July 2026 ("Keystroke 1.0" is advertised as coming soon), so these prices may change at general availability. Self-hosting under the Elastic License 2.0 avoids platform metering but gives up the managed team workspace, and there is no published annual-billing discount on any tier.

Best Human-in-the-Loop Automation Platforms 2026
Eight platforms are ranked here on a single mechanism: how a person enters an automated path, and what the system can prove afterward about the decision they made. Moxo scores 7.7 and ranks first; Camunda 8 scores 7.2, Microsoft Power Automate 7.1, Pega 6.9, n8n 6.7, Zapier 5.9, Kissflow 5.8 and ServiceNow 4.8, scored 22 September 2026 on the five weighted criteria. Those criteria cover the step type, the approver's account or licence, the routes available on a rejection, the audit record, and the meter that charges for the decision, and none of them can tell a review from a rubber stamp, so the methodology adds a check readers can run on any product in a few minutes: whether the decision record tells a considered approval from an instant one. Every figure was read from a vendor-owned surface and carries its own date.
Best Automation Platforms for AI Orchestration 2026
This ranking answers one question: how many real business applications can an AI agent act on out of the box? It evaluates nine platforms as of August 2026 on the reach they give an agent, not on the workflow logic they can express. That boundary is deliberate, because two neighbouring pages on this site answer different questions. Best Process Orchestration Platforms 2026 scores multi-step process control, error handling and state management. Best AI Agent Platforms 2026 scores building and hosting the agent itself. This page scores the layer between them: the connective tissue that lets an agent already built elsewhere reach the applications a business actually runs on. A platform that leads one of those pages can place low here, and two of them do. Scores derive from application and action catalogue counts, the exposure model each platform uses to publish those catalogues to an agent, setup effort, failure handling and cost per agent action. Every figure was retrieved from a vendor-owned surface on 11 August 2026 unless an earlier date is stated against it.

Moxo vs Gumloop in 2026: Texting the Client, or Building the Agent
Gumloop (founded 2023) builds AI agents a company's own staff run; Moxo, whose predecessor Moxtra was co-founded in 2012, runs processes that wait on people outside the company. Gumloop wins three rounds to two: the way in, per-tool gating and a priced overage. Moxo wins on texting a client a step and on what that client can be asked to do. Vendor pages and docs were read on 28 September 2026.
Moxo vs Relay.app in 2026: Where Relay's Approval Workflows Can Go Next
Relay.app, founded in 2021, shut down in September 2026 and deleted every account, workflow and run history; Moxo, whose predecessor Moxtra was co-founded in 2012, is one destination for its human-in-the-loop users. Relay.app takes two rounds, Moxo one, and vendor risk is a draw. The page maps which Relay steps Moxo replaces, on which plan, and what the shutdown teaches about exports, from sources read 28 September 2026.
Moxo vs Workato in 2026: The Integration Estate, or the Approval Inside It
Workato, founded in 2013, is an enterprise integration platform whose Workflow apps add human tasks to recipes; Moxo, whose predecessor Moxtra was co-founded in 2012, ships the human step itself. Workato wins three rounds to two: connector reach, change control and the way in. Moxo wins the human step and retries. Vendor pages and docs were read on 28 September 2026.
