How much does Tines cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Tines offers a free Community Edition (1 builder and 3 flows, with unlimited viewers, runs, and integrations plus SSO). Its paid offering is a single quote-based "Business and Enterprise" plan, alongside specialized editions for Federal, SLED, and MSSP customers — there is no public "Professional" tier and no published price. Based on reported customer data, enterprise contracts typically start around $50,000/year for small security teams and scale to $200,000+ for large SOCs.
Pricing Overview
Tines is a security automation and orchestration (SOAR) platform aimed at security operations centers and IT teams. It offers a genuinely usable free Community Edition and quote-based paid pricing — there is no public mid-tier.
Tines Pricing (as of July 2026)
| Tier | Price | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Community | $0 | 1 builder, 3 flows, unlimited viewers/runs/integrations, SSO included, community library |
| Business & Enterprise | Custom (typically $50,000+/year) | Multi-user, SSO/SAML, audit logs, tenant management, dedicated support, SLA |
| Specialized Editions | Custom | Federal, SLED (State/Local/Education), and MSSP editions |
The Community Edition is a free tier, not a time-limited trial, but it is now scoped to 1 builder and 3 flows (unlimited viewers, runs, and integrations, with SSO included). All paid pricing is quote-based — Tines does not publish a "Professional" tier or any list price.
What each plan includes
Community
Access to all core actions (HTTP requests, triggers, event transforms, data storage) and the community library of pre-built stories for phishing triage, alert enrichment, and vulnerability management. The limits are 1 builder and 3 flows; team collaboration, tenant management, and audit features require a paid plan.
Business & Enterprise
Negotiated directly with Tines. Based on reported customer data and analyst estimates, annual contracts typically start around $50,000 for small security teams and scale to $200,000+ for large SOCs. Includes multi-user workspaces, SSO/SAML, audit logging, tenant management for MSSPs, role-based access, and dedicated support with SLA. Distinct Federal, SLED, and MSSP editions exist for those markets.
How Tines pricing compares
Tines competes with SOAR platforms like Palo Alto XSOAR (~$75,000/year for a 100-incident/day license) and Splunk SOAR (usage-based, $30,000-$100,000+/year). For general-purpose automation, Zapier and Make are far cheaper but lack the security-specific actions, case management, and SOC features. Tines' Community Edition remains 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, versus $120,000/year for Palo Alto XSOAR. Tines was chosen, and the team automated 65% of Tier-1 alert triage within 3 months, cutting mean time to respond from 45 minutes to 8. Re-checked July 2026: the free Community Edition is now explicitly scoped to 1 builder and 3 flows, so it is an evaluation tool — the moment a second builder or a fourth production flow is needed, it is a quote-based Enterprise conversation. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen

Best Durable Workflow Engines for Production in 2026
A ranked list of the best durable workflow engines for production deployments in 2026. Durable workflow engines persist execution state to a database so that long-running workflows survive process restarts, deployments, and infrastructure failures. The ranking covers Temporal, Prefect, Apache Airflow, Camunda, Windmill, and n8n. Tools were evaluated on production reliability, developer experience, scalability, open-source health, and documentation quality. The shortlist intentionally mixes code-first engines (Temporal, Prefect, Airflow) with hybrid visual platforms (Camunda, Windmill, n8n) to reflect how production teams actually choose workflow engines in 2026.
Best No-Code Automation Platforms in 2026
A ranked list of no-code automation platforms in 2026. The ranking covers visual workflow builders that allow non-engineering teams to connect SaaS apps, route data, and add conditional logic without writing code. Entries cover proprietary cloud platforms (Zapier, Make, Pipedream, IFTTT) and open-source visual builders (n8n, Activepieces). Scoring reflects integration breadth, pricing accessibility, visual editor ease, reliability and error handling, and self-hosting availability.
