StackPrice Weekly #3 — Paying monthly vs annual (no price changes this week)
Prices re-checked daily, Oct 29 to Nov 5, 2026. No verified price changes across the 11 tools we track.
This is issue #3 of The StackPrice Weekly.
This week: list prices still flat. One dismissed false alarm (n8n Business looked like $800 → €667 — same list price, different currency on the page). So here's the discount most of these vendors already publish: annual vs monthly billing.
What annual billing actually saves
Same entry tier, monthly sticker vs the annual-billed monthly rate. Numbers from each vendor's pricing page (re-checked Nov 5).
| Tool / plan | Monthly | Annual (per mo) | You save / year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zapier Professional (750 tasks) | $29.99 | $19.99 | ~$120 |
| Make Core (10k credits) | $16 | $12 | $48 |
| Make Pro (10k credits) | $28 | $21 | $84 |
| n8n Starter (2.5k executions) | $24 | $20 | $48 |
| n8n Pro (10k executions) | $60 | $50 | $120 |
| Pipedream Startup (10k credits) | $150 | $99 | $612 |
Not on annual (or not published): Activepieces Plus ($20/mo), Lindy Team (from $29.99/user/mo), Bardeen, Gumloop, Tines, Relevance AI, Power Automate Premium (annual-only list price, no monthly twin).
The takeaway: if you're past the free tier and plan to stay, annual is free money on Zapier / Make / n8n / Pipedream — especially Pipedream (~34% off). If you're still picking a tool, don't lock a year until you've run a real workload through the calculator.
