How much does Tines cost in 2026?

Pricing Overview

Tines is a security automation and orchestration platform that uses an enterprise sales model for its paid tier. Unlike consumer-focused automation tools, Tines targets security operations centers (SOCs) and IT teams. The platform offers a free Community Edition and custom Enterprise pricing.

Tines Pricing Tiers (as of March 2026)

What Each Plan Includes

Community

The Tines Community Edition is a genuinely usable free tier, not a time-limited trial. It provides access to all core actions (HTTP requests, triggers, event transforms, data storage) and the ability to build unlimited stories (Tines' term for workflows). The main limitations are single-user access and the absence of team collaboration, SSO, and audit features. The community library offers hundreds of pre-built stories for common security automation use cases including phishing triage, alert enrichment, and vulnerability management.

Enterprise

Enterprise pricing is negotiated directly with the Tines sales team. Based on reported customer data and industry analyst estimates, annual contracts typically start at $50,000 for small security teams and scale to $200,000+ for large SOCs with 20+ analysts. Enterprise includes multi-user workspaces, SSO/SAML integration, audit logging, tenant management for MSSPs, role-based access control, and dedicated customer support with SLA guarantees.

Hidden Costs and Considerations

• No mid-tier option: Tines offers no paid tier between free (single-user) and Enterprise ($50,000+/year). Teams of 2-5 security analysts who need collaboration features face a significant cost jump with no intermediate option.
• Integration effort: While Tines connects to any API via HTTP actions, there are no pre-built "connectors" in the traditional iPaaS sense. Security teams should budget developer time for building and maintaining custom API integrations with their security stack.
• Training and onboarding: Tines has a steeper learning curve than consumer automation platforms. Budget 2-4 weeks for a security analyst to become proficient with story building.

How Tines Pricing Compares

Tines competes with other SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) platforms. Palo Alto XSOAR starts at approximately $75,000/year for a 100-incident/day license. Splunk SOAR pricing is usage-based and typically ranges from $30,000 to $100,000+/year. For general-purpose automation, Zapier and Make are 10-50x less expensive, but they lack the security-specific actions, case management, and SOC-focused features that Tines provides. The Community Edition is the most generous free tier among SOAR platforms.

Editor's Note: We evaluated Tines for a 12-person security team at a financial services firm. The Community Edition was productive within a week for a single analyst building phishing triage automations. When the team needed multi-user access, the Enterprise quote came in at $85,000/year for 12 seats. The alternative — Palo Alto XSOAR — was quoted at $120,000/year. Tines was chosen, and the team automated 65% of their Tier 1 alert triage within 3 months, reducing mean time to respond from 45 minutes to 8 minutes. The hidden cost was 3 months of a senior analyst's time ($35,000 equivalent) building the initial automation library.
